Personal injury coverage: May pay for legal fees and damages if you’re liable for slander or defamation
Water back-up coverage: Water that backs up through sewers or drains or discharges from a sump pump may not be covered by a standard renters policy. Water back-up coverage may pay for the damage to your belongings and water removal costs.
