West Bend Mutual Overview

Founded in Wisconsin, the company has since expanded beyond Wisconsin and serves customers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio as well. It would be a better choice for the drivers who need both auto and home insurance coverage, and would benefit from centralized payment and policy management, and safe drivers who qualify for discounts and cash back through car safety features, clean driving records, and continued driver’s education.

West Bend Mutual Coverage Options
When it comes to their home, everyone has a different situation and differing needs for protection. While every home insurer offers the same standard coverages. they tend to differ when it comes to what they offer or optional additional protections. Below we list and describe all the extras offered by West Bend Mutual
| Available Option | What it means | |
|---|---|---|
Additional Insured | The additional insured endorsement extends the liability portion (Coverage E) of your homeowner policy to others living in the home who are not related by blood, marriage, or adoption. It can also apply to those not living with you but who have partial ownership of the property. For example, if your girlfriend's dog bites someone and she gets sued, this endorsement would allow her to make a claim on your policy to cover the costs. | |
Assisted Living | Generally, this endorsement just extends coverage to personal property that a family member has in an assisted living facility. Some insurers also reimburse a portion of the additional living expenses if your loved one is temporarily displaced. | |
Business Pursuits | Standard liability coverage protects you and your family against bodily injury or property damage claims made by others. However, this coverage extends only to your personal liability, not your business liability. This endorsement removes that exclusion, thereby providing coverage for harm resulting from business pursuits. Some businesses may not be eligible for this endorsement, depending on the state and insurer. | |
Child Care Liability | This niche endorsement offers some protection from potential lawsuits and damages for those that operate daycares from home. They cover liability (bodily injury and property damage claims from others). Some policies also cover damages to your personal property. Certain states may also require separate daycare insurance. | |
Computer | Like Scheduled Property, this endorsement provides additional coverage for households with expensive (or multiple) computers. A standard policy will provide some protection, but this extends it. Keep in mind; this is not a warranty. If a laptop simply malfunctions, coverage likely won't apply with most insurers. External damage from risks like fire, theft, and lightning surges are more what it covers. | |
Debris Removal | While many homeowners insurance policies cover some amount of debris removal after a covered loss, they tend to limit how much they will pay. This endorsement raises those limits on the standard policy. For insurers who don't offer debris removal by default, this endorsement enables such coverage. | |
Electronic Data Recovery | This endorsement covers the cost of recovering lost personal computer data caused by a loss. | |
