Understanding General Liability Insurance!

In today’s litigious society, even small mishaps can result in large lawsuits. That’s why general liability insurance, along with property and worker’s compensation insurance, is essential for most companies. Liability insurance protects the assets of a business when it is sued for something it did (or didn’t do) to cause an injury or property damage.

General liability insurance can be purchased separately or as part of a business-owner’s policy (BOP). A BOP bundles property and liability insurance into one policy; however, the liability coverage limits are generally pretty low. Businesses that need more coverage usually purchase liability insurance as a separate policy. The amount of coverage a business needs depends on a couple of factors:

• Perceived risk. Business owners should first consider the amount of risk associated with their business. For example, a business that manufactures heavy machinery is at a greater risk of being sued than a company that manufactures linens, and would therefore need more liability insurance.
• The state in which you operate. Businesses that operate in states with a history of awarding high damage amounts to plaintiffs typically need to carry liability insurance with higher coverage limits. An insurance broker can offer guidance in this area.

Questions about Long Term Care Insurance?

Long-term care insurance (LTC or LTCI) helps provide for the cost of long-term care beyond a predetermined period. Long-term care insurance covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.

Individuals who require long-term care are generally not sick in the traditional sense, but instead, are unable to perform the basic activities of daily living (ADLs). Long-term care isn’t necessarily long term. A person may need care for only a few months to recover from an accident, surgery or illness. As an individual ages, there is an increased risk of needing long-term care. Read more

Did you think about Renters Insurance?

Renters face the same risk as homeowners in cases of disasters striking their dwelling. Your landlord or condo association may have insurance, but this only protects the building, not your things in it. Renters insurance can protect your belongings in case of disaster.

There are several types of residential insurance policies and generally, these cover losses to your personal property from 16 types of perils:

·        Fire or lightning

·        Windstorm or hail

·        Explosion Read more

Got questions about Auto Insurance?

Vehicle insurance (also known as auto insurance, car insurance, or motor insurance) is insurance purchased for cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Its primary use is to provide protection against losses incurred as a result of traffic accidents and against liability that could be incurred in an accident.

In many jurisdictions it is compulsory to have vehicle insurance before using or keeping a motor vehicle on public roads. Most jurisdictions relate insurance to both the car and the driver; however the degree of each varies greatly. Read more

Long-term Care Insurance - Can You Afford Not to Have it?

Long-term care refers to the many services beyond medical care and nursing care used by people who have disabilities or chronic (long-lasting) illnesses. Long-term care insurance helps you pay for these services, which can be very expensive. A policy also ensures that you can make your own choices about what long-term care services you receive and where you receive them. 

Ordinary health insurance won’t cover it.
People are living longer and longer these days. That’s good news, but the flip side of that is there are more years in which there’s a risk of serious health problems. And that could literally cost all of your remaining life’s savings. Unfortunately, ordinary health insurance policies and Medicare usually do not pay for long-term care expenses. Medicaid, a federal/state health insurance program, will only pay for long-term care if you’ve already spent most of your savings or other assets. So, there’s long-term care insurance.

Long-term care insurance typically covers the cost of:

• Help in your home with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating and cleaning. 

• Community programs, such as adult day care. 

• Assisted living services that are provided in a special residential setting other than your own home. These services may include meals, health monitoring, and help with daily activities. 

• Visiting nurses. 

• Care in a nursing home.

State Farm Insurance Your Neighborhood Universal Life Insurance Provider

Universal Life is a type of permanent life insurance based on a cash value. That is, the policy is established with the insurer where premium payments above the cost of insurance are credited to the cash value. The cash value is credited each month with interest, and the policy is debited each month by a cost of insurance (COI) charge, which is drawn from the cash value if no premium payment is made that month.

You Hometown Life Insurance Specialist

Life insurance is a contract between the policy owner and the insurer, where the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money upon the occurrence of the insured individual’s or individuals’ death or other event, such as terminal illness or critical illness. In return, the policy owner (or policy payer) agrees to pay a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals or in lump sums. There may be designs in some countries where bills and death expenses plus catering for after funeral expenses should be included in Policy Premium. In the United States, the predominant form simply specifies a lump sum to be paid on the insured’s demise.
