  • Homeowner Insurance

    One little policy does a lot. A homeowner policy reimburses you for damage to your home from a variety of causes. If your home is totally destroyed or you cannot use it for a period of time, your homeowner policy will also cover that. The insurance extends to your home’s contents and liability for damage to property of others or injury caused to someone by you or a family member. Your policy can be personalized to include greater levels of protection for important property, home office situations, liability for boat ownership and additions and alterations to your residence.

  • Personal Auto Insurance
    You need to protect yourself should your vehicle be damaged or stolen. Just as important, you need insurance for liability – property damage or injury to others caused by you and other household members as a result of operating a motor vehicle. Other policy features include medical payment reimbursement and reimbursement for injury caused to you by an uninsured or inadequately insured driver. There are many special situations where you may need to customize your policy; examples include installation of custom audio equipment, business use of your auto and teenage and guest drivers, to name a few.
  • Antique, Classic and Customized Automobile Insurance
    Special autos come in all shapes, sizes and model years. We share you dedication to caring for and protecting your special vehicle. Let us help you care for your classic car by providing the policy that is right for it and you.
  • ATV Insurance
    Insurance is not required for your ATV but there are several situations where liability protection you have under other policies may not apply. Some states require insurance for ATVs operated on state-owned land and your homeowner policy may not protect you if you ride off your property. ATV Insurance can fill in these gaps and will reimburse you if your ATV is stolen or badly damaged. ATV Insurance includes Liability, Medical Payments, Comprehensive and Collision coverage, much like an Auto Insurance Policy.
  • Boat Insurance
    One policy includes protection against loss to your boat, motors, trailers and equipment and liability for property damage or physical injury to others caused by you or other boat operators.
  • Dwelling Fire Insurance
    Dwelling Fire Insurance is designed to insure residences you own or have a financial interest in but do not live in. Common situations calling for this type of insurance coverage include rental homes, homes that are vacant because they are temporarily uninhabitable or are not currently occupied because of a transition caused by a sale or relocation. In these situations insurance protection is needed for the building but typically not for any contents. Liability insurance for the property can sometimes be added or may be handled through alternative approaches.
  • Farm and Ranch Insurance
    Farm and ranch insurance can be tailored to protect the part-time gentleman farmer to the full scale agribusiness. Plans can include protection for your personal and business assets and legal liability insurance for both personal and farming pursuits.

  • Flood Insurance
    Even if your home or business is located away from water or is covered by a homeowner or business insurance policy, you may still need Flood Insurance. Groundwater flooding can cause damage to buildings on higher ground many miles from a body of water and over 20 percent of flood insurance claims originate from areas that are not considered to be high flood-risk. Homeowner and business insurance policies generally exclude flood and related losses because of the catastrophic nature of floods. Affordable flood insurance protection is available and is often an important component of a sound insurance program.
  • Home Business
    More and more people are working from home or starting home-based businesses. A standard homeowner policy affords limited protection for property and liability risks arising from home business pursuits. We have a range of options and can pick the one that’s right for your business no matter how small, new or established.
  • Identity Theft
    Abduction of your personal information can result in financial loss ranging from a thief draining your bank accounts to new debt from fraudulently opened credit accounts. Protect yourself before you become a victim by taking necessary precautions and insuring potential loss.
  • Landlord Package Insurance
    Landlord’s face special risks that require special insurance protection. A few examples of losses or exposures that are covered in a Landlord Package Policy include: Loss of rent resulting from an insured loss; Buildings with one or several units; Varied residential or commercial occupancies; Legal liability resulting from the activities of tenants; and Uninsured or under-insured repairmen. Even though Landlord Package Insurance is primarily designed to protect you from loss to rental property it can, and should provide adequate insurance limits to protect your other assets from legal liability arising from rental activities. Even though renting residences to others is a business activity, many insurance companies will treat the renal of 4 or fewer units as a personal insurance matter.
  • Motorcycle Insurance

    Motorcycles have a higher rate of fatal accidents than automobiles. United States Department of Transportation data for 2005 from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System show that for passenger cars, 18.62 fatal crashes occur per 100,000 registered vehicles. For motorcycles this figure is higher at 75.19 per 100,000 registered vehicles, four times higher than for cars. Source.

  • Wedding Insurance
    Wedding costs today quickly climb into the tens of thousands of dollars.

Your policy can be personalized to include greater levels of protection for important property, home office situations, liability for boat ownership and additions and alterations to your residence.
