The national average cost for homeowner’s insurance is $1,131 a year, and the average homeowner files a claim (water damage, personal injury, dog bites, fire damage) every ten years. This type of insurance isn’t required once a home loan is paid off, however most people have it, because these types of liabilities can be expensive.

The national average cost for car insurance is $1,365 a year, and the average driver files a claim approximately every 18 years. Car insurance is required, and most people can say they have been in at least one car accident, so they don’t seem to mind paying for car insurance.
