Juanita is the owner of a 30-year-old home, and is looking to buy a homeowner’s insurance policy. The previous home she owned was severely damaged by a tree falling through the roof, a peril that was not covered by her basic-form policy, therefore she is looking to buy a comprehensive policy that covers damage from all perils (except those specifically excluded). Based on the peril coverage it offers, she purchases an insurance policy.
