Wiki Says

The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc., is one of the oldest businesses in the United States, still operating within its original industry. It was the original name of a property-liability insurance firm born in 1852, and it remained a publicly traded company under that name until the early 1990s, when it changed its name to Allmerica Property & Casualty Companies.

In 1996, it spun off Allmerica Financial Corporation as a property and casualty insurance and financial services holding company, which then bought out the original firm, and grew to become one of the 500 largest publicly-traded companies of the United States. In 2005, Allmerica Financial Corporation reverted its name back to Hanover.

Hanover Home Insurance Says

Hanover’s homeowners insurance for single-owner homes covers the house and other structures on the insured property for direct physical loss.  Additional coverage options include:

• Additional living expenses – covering extra living costs while the insured home is repaired or replaced.
• Liability coverage – for property damage and bodily injuries to others for which the insured is responsible.
• Medical payments – for non-household members who are accidentally injured on the insured property or by the customer.
• Policy limits adjusted to keep pace with rising home costs associated with repairing or replacing the insured home in the event of a catastrophic loss.
