The section of the homeowner policy referring to animals is a special limit in the homeowner policy. If your liability limits are higher than $25,000 then that limit will apply to other liability losses, but if an animal causes injury then the most the insurance company will pay is the $25,000. This is a sublimit and does not affect the cost of your insurance. The Fungi or bacteria limit of $5,000 is also a sub limit under the policy. If you have a claim for either of these then the most you can collect is the $5,000 regardless of the amount of damage.Loss of Use limit is what you can collect if you must live elsewhere due to a covered loss to your home, such as a fire. This is for additional costs you incur while you must live elsewhere.Your insurance agent should have been able to explain all of these items to you. If you do not feel they are responsive enough you should look for a new agent.
