Personal lines insurance refers to any kind of insurance that covers individuals against loss that results from death, injury, or loss of property.

In some situations, individuals may not be able to purchase insurance because they pose too great a risk to the insurance company.
Examples of personal lines insurance include homeowners insurance, earthquake insurance, renters insurance, car insurance, life insurance, health insurance, and disability insurance.
How Personal Lines Insurance Works
Personal lines insurance is coverage purchased by an individual to cover themselves and/or their families. These policies protect against different kinds of personal risks that would lead to potentially crushing financial losses caused by fire, theft, death, accidents, lawsuits, natural disasters and illness.
Individuals can usually tailor each policy’s coverage and deductibles to strike the right balance between the amount of coverage and the cost of premiums. Premiums can also vary according to where you live.
Personal lines insurance won’t cover every risk an individual might face but it can significantly ones liability for damages and the amount they would have to pay out of pocket during an unfortunate situation.
