Common risks for Indiana homeowners

Here are some common risks you might face as an Indiana homeowner.

Severe weather

Home insurance usually covers most damage caused by severe weather throughout the year. For example, roof damage caused by falling trees or the weight of ice are both usually covered.

Be aware that wind and hail damage may have a separate deductible. It may be a flat rate, such as $1,000, or a percentage of your dwelling coverage. For example, your policy may have a $1,000 deductible for most claims and a 1% deductible for hail or wind claims. So if your house has $250,000 worth of dwelling coverage, you’d have to pay for the first $2,500 of hail damage yourself.

Flooding

Floods can cause extensive damage, and homeowners insurance won't usually cover it. You’ll need to buy flood insurance for that. Be aware that you can buy flood coverage anytime, but there’s typically a 30-day waiting period before the insurance takes effect. Learn how to find the best flood insurance.

🤓Nerdy Tip

To check your flood risk, start by looking up your address on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood maps. However, FEMA’s maps don’t always capture all types of flood risk. You may want to check another source, like First Street, a private company that models climate hazards. Enter your address at the top of the page to see your home’s flood risk rating on a scale of 1 to 10.

Earthquakes

Homeowners insurance typically doesn't cover damage caused by earthquakes, but there may be exceptions. For example, if a gas line dislodged by the earthquake starts a fire, the fire may be covered under your policy. Review your policy carefully to make sure you understand your coverage. If you live in an area with higher risk, you may want to consider earthquake insurance.

Sinkholes

Sinkholes are common in some parts of Indiana due to its karst geography, and they can significantly damage homes. Much like earthquakes, standard home insurance policies do not cover sinkholes. If you live in an area with sinkhole activity, you may want to consider additional coverage.

Indiana insurance department

The Indiana Department of Insurance oversees the state’s insurance industry and provides consumer protection. Its website has resources on homeowners insurance in Indiana, such as general information pamphlets on insurance protections and a guide to earthquake insurance.

You can file a complaint against your insurance company on the agency's website, by mail or via fax. If you have questions about filing a complaint or about Indiana insurance, call 800-622-4461.

Frequently asked questions

Homeowners insurance isn’t legally required in Indiana, but your mortgage lender may require you to buy it. For more information, read Is Homeowners Insurance Required?

There are several ways to save money on homeowners insurance in Indiana:

  • Shop around to make sure you’re getting the best rate.

  • Choose a higher deductible. In case of any claims, you’ll pay more out of pocket, but your premiums will be lower.

  • Bundle your home and auto insurance for a lower overall rate.

  • Ask your insurer if you qualify for any home insurance discounts.


Star rating methodology

NerdWallet’s homeowners insurance ratings reward companies for customer-first features and practices. Ratings are based on weighted averages of scores in several categories, including financial strength, consumer complaints, coverage, discounts, claims process and website functionality. These ratings are a guide, but we encourage you to shop around and compare several insurance quotes to find the best rate for you. NerdWallet does not receive compensation for any reviews or star ratings.

Here’s how we weighted each category to come up with our list of the best home insurance companies:

  • Consumer experience (40%).

  • Financial strength (30%).

  • Coverage (25%).

  • Discounts (5%).

Homeowners insurance rates methodology

NerdWallet calculated median rates for 40-year-old homeowners from various insurance companies in the 25 largest cities in each U.S. state by population. All rates are rounded to the nearest $5.

Sample homeowners were nonsmokers with good credit living in a single-family, two-story home built in 1984. They had a $1,000 deductible and the following coverage limits:

  • $300,000 in dwelling coverage.

  • $30,000 in other structures coverage.

  • $150,000 in personal property coverage.

  • $60,000 in loss of use coverage.

  • $300,000 in liability coverage.

  • $1,000 in medical payments coverage.

We made minor changes to the sample policy in cases where rates for the above coverage limits or deductibles weren’t available.

In states where credit is a rating factor, we changed the credit tier from “good” to “poor,” as reported to the insurer, to see rates for homeowners with poor credit.

These are sample rates generated through Quadrant Information Services. Your own rates will be different.

Complaint methodology

NerdWallet examined complaints received by state insurance regulators and reported to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in 2022-2024. To assess how insurers compare with one another, the NAIC calculates a complaint index each year for each subsidiary, measuring its share of total complaints relative to its size, or share of total premiums in the industry. To evaluate a company’s complaint history, NerdWallet calculated a similar index for each insurer, weighted by market shares of each subsidiary, over the three-year period.

NerdWallet conducts its data analysis and reaches conclusions independently and without the endorsement of the NAIC. Ratios are determined separately for auto, home (including renters and condo) and life insurance.
