PERSONAL INSURANCE

Do you know if these key areas are adequately covered?

Herzog provides the following types of personal insurance:

 

Home Insurance
The single biggest investment you may make in life is your home. Are you sure you’ve protected your investment? Let us review your homeowner’s policy with you and make sure there are no gaps in coverage.

Basic Coverages Included in Homeowner’s Policies:

  • Property Damage Coverage

  • “Property Damage” coverage is designed to help pay for damage to your home and personal property.

  • “Other Structures” coverage will help protect your detached garage, tool shed, and other unattached structures. Generally, the coverage is 10% of the amount for which your home is insured.

  • “Personal Property” coverage helps pay for a loss of your personal possessions, such as clothing, furniture, TV, stereo and other unattached personal items. You may want to review this coverage with us, to make sure you are adequately protected in this area.


Personal Property Floater
A homeowner’s insurance policy normally provides limited coverage for collectibles, jewelry, furs, etc. It may be necessary to insure your valuables with a Personal Property Floater. A Personal Property Floater provides coverage that is broader than the coverage in your standard homeowners insurance policy.

Personal Liability Coverage
Your homeowners policy provides Personal Liability coverage to help protect you against a non-auto claim in which you were at fault. Liability coverage in your policy covers both the cost of defending you and damages the court orders you must pay. Liability insurance does not have a deductible that you must meet before the insurer begins to pay losses. We can review your current limits of coverage, and help make sure you have enough protection in this area.

Medical Payments Coverage
Medical Payments coverage is designed to pay for an injury to someone OUTSIDE your family. It can often help settle “small” injuries outside of court before they become BIG claims in court. This is not medical coverage for your and your family.

Additional Living Expenses
Where will you live if your home is badly damaged?
If move into a hotel or apartment for awhile because of damage caused by a covered loss, your homeowners policy will normally cover the stay, subject to policy limits.

Other Forms of Building Coverage:

  • High Value- would it cost more than $1,500,000 to rebuild your home? If so we have specialized coverage plans that cater to high end homes.

  • High Risk- is your home or other property a hard to place property due to fire risk? If so we have options to help with placement and getting coverage put into place.

  • Landlord- Do you rent out residential property you own? Maybe it’s an investment, or maybe it’s a core source of income. Either way, you should consider protecting your property and your interests as a landlord.

  • Mobile and Manufacture Homes- Mobile and manufactured homes are different than other homes, and Farmers understands that mobile home owners have different coverage requirements too. That’s why Farmers Mobile and Manufactured Home insurance provides specialized coverage, designed specifically for the mobile home owner.

  • Condo and Townhome- this insurance allows you to select the coverage you want for the things you value most, like: Your condo - You're covered for accidental damage to improvements you make in your unit that your association's policy does not cover, up to your condo insurance policy limits.Your possessions - Insurance covers your personal belongings too, up to your policy limits. Your assets - Condo insurance can help protect your assets from liability claims if you are sued.


Renters Insurance
“I rent an apartment. I don’t need insurance- do I?”
Your landlord only insures the building you live in- not YOUR personal belongings!
Yes- you need Renters Insurance.
If there is a fire or other catastrophe, who will replace your:

  • clothing

  • furniture

  • stereo

  • TV

  • computer

  • jewelry

Consider:

Personal Property
Your Renters Insurance policy can help replace your personal belongings in the event of a covered loss. Common losses are due to not only fire and theft, but also accidental and sudden discharge of a sprinkler system. Water damage can be as destructive as fire- don’t get caught without the right insurance!

Loss of use
Your Renters Insurance policy can pay the additional costs of living in hotels, eating in restaurants, etc., while you are out of your home due to a covered loss.

Personal Liability coverage
This coverage gives you liability protection against claims caused by almost any unintentional act, and will help pay legal expenses to defend such a claim.

Personal Articles
Discuss with us coverage for your valuable articles, such as jewelry, furs or collectibles, when their value is higher than the limits stated in your policy.

Contents Replacement Cost
This option extends the coverage on your personal property to include the ACTUAL cost of repair or replacement without deduction for the depreciation. There are, of course, policy limits, so ask us for details.

Auto Policy Definitions
Bodily Injury (BI) and Property Damage (PD)
Covers your liability for injuries you cause to other people and property damage for which you are at fault.
This coverage usually is expressed in a “split number” such as 100/300/100.
The first number is the limit (in thousands of dollars) that your policy will pay for bodily injury per person in the event of an accident.
The second number is the total limit your policy will pay for bodily injury to two or more people per accident.
The third number is the limit that your policy will pay for property damage per accident.

Many people are underinsured today because of the rising costs of vehicles (making it easy to exceed your Property Damage limits) and the high personal injury awards in lawsuits. Please consult us to make sure you have adequate converge- we’ll be happy to help you!

Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist
Covers you when you are injured by someone who is not insured or has inadequate limits of coverage. This is often an overlooked coverage, and we would be happy to help you understand this better!

Collision
This covers the cost of replacing or repairing your vehicle in the event of an accident in which you were at fault. The premium varies depending upon your deductible limits. We would be happy to help you decide which deductible is right for you!

Comprehensive
This covers repairing or replacing your vehicle in non-accident situations, such as theft and vandalism.
Hail and other “acts of God” are covered, as defined by your policy. This also has a deductible, so please consult with us about which deductible meets your needs.

We also have special policies for your classic vehicles in most conditions and most kinds of use.

Term Life Insurance
Term Insurance covers you for a specified period of time, such as one, five, ten or twenty years. Once the term is expired, you must renew it, often at much higher rates. The policy only pays a death benefit if you die in that period of time. Term Insurance often has specific rules about when and how you can renew the policy. Term Insurance normally NEVER builds cash value. However, Term Insurance has the advantage of normally providing the highest death benefit for the lowest premium.
