Lowering The Cost Of Homeowners Insurance?
Homeowners insurance can be a delicate topic. It is one of the more expensive forms of personal insurance.

Of course, this means you would have to remove coverage for some events that you think may be very unlikely. It is a risk you may want to take in order to save money every month. Removing insurance for weather damage that is nearly impossible in your climate would be a first step.

If I am working as a babysitter and my car is damaged from a falling branch in the homeowners driveway do they have to pay for the damages out of their homeowners insurance?
It depends on whether the homeowners were aware of a potential problem with their trees/limbs. If they knew of a dead tree or limb, there is a possibility of liability on their behalf. The key to this is proving that they were aware of a potential problem, which is very difficult to do unless they have been warned in writing. This is the only way their homeowners policy would cover your damage as well. Otherwise, if it was just a tree limb that fell because of wind, you have no legal recourse against the homeowner. It's just an "act of God" = weather.
