Home Insurance in California
California combines catastrophic wildfire exposure, major seismic risk, atmospheric-river flooding, the nation's tightest admitted-property market, and a high uninsured-driver rate — VKOVR builds coverage around FAIR Plan + DIC when needed, CEA or private earthquake, and liability stacks that exceed 30/60/15.

Home Insurance Requirements in California
California raised minimum auto liability to 30/60/15 effective January 1, 2025 ($30,000 per person bodily injury, $60,000 per accident, $15,000 property damage) — replacing 15/30/5 limits unchanged since 1967. California is an at-fault state; UM/UIM matching 100/300 is strongly recommended given ~17% uninsured drivers. Standard homeowners excludes earthquake, mudslide, and flood — use CEA or private earthquake, NFIP or private flood where water rises, and review debris-flow exposure below burn scars. High-hazard wildfire addresses may require California FAIR Plan fire coverage plus a DIC wrap for liability, theft, and water damage. All California employers must carry workers' compensation from the first employee. AB 5 and follow-on rules affect employee vs. independent-contractor classification — misclassification increases EPL and regulatory risk. Prop 103 shapes admitted-line pricing; commercial risks still vary sharply by class code and location.

Home Insurance in California – FAQ
Standard homeowners insurance (HO-3) covers your dwelling (structure), other structures on the property (fences, detached garages), personal property, liability for injuries that occur on your property, and additional living expenses if your home is uninhabitable after a covered loss. It does not automatically cover floods or earthquakes — those require separate policies.
