That question varies depending on who you talk to. The normal household is usually under insured. The recommended amount of insurance that a household should have is as follows

Main Bread Winner/s Enough to pay off all debts plus 10 times the annual income

Spouse Enough to pay off all debts plus ether 5 times annual income of Main Bread Winner if children and does not work, or 10 times Spouse's annual income.

These should both be term policies for a length of time to make sure children are out of the house. each should also have ether a $50k or $100k UL policy that covers them up to age 110 to 120 depending on the company.

You would also have the option to add a small children's rider to ether term policy

There is not enough information to answer your question. Did this injury occur in the home or away from the home? Who was injured and how did it occur? Was an insured household resident injured at the insured home? A homeowners insurance policy often provides a small amount of medical coverage if the insured elected it at the time of purchase for minor household injuries but does not replace a medical insurance policy. Was a guest injured on the premises of the insured home? Homeowners insurance policies often provide Liability coverage if the insured elected the coverage at the time of purchase that might provide coverage if the insured home owner was at fault for the injury. You would need to check your home insurance policy or contact your agent to determine if you purchased medical coverage or liability coverage depending on what occurred and if so, what limits are available.

What does deductible and coinsurance mean?

On a health insurance policy, a "deductible" is a specified amount which the insured/beneficiary must pay out of their own pocket, before their insurance will pay any covered medical services. After the deductible amount is met, a "coinsurance" is a percentage amount which the insured/beneficiary is responsible for. For example, if an insurance policy is an "80/20 plan", this means that the insurance company pays 80% of medical services, and the patient (insured) is responsible to pay the remaining 20% (coinsurance).
