In Denmark, a home insurance policy, or indboforsikring in Danish, is an insurance policy that covers many things in your home, such as compensation for possessions stolen from your (locked) home. A home insurance policy also covers possessions that are damaged by fire, vandalism, or water. However, there is another reason to get home insurance that is frequently overlooked: Specifically, legal expense coverage.
