Personal Insurance Products (Auto and Home Insurance)
- Homeowner Insurance
One little policy does a lot. A homeowner's 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's policy will also cover the cost of renting an apartment or home or staying in a hotel.
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.
Review your policy at least once per year or when new purchases are made. There are limitations on jewelry, guns, fine art, collections, watches and furs, etc. Recreational vehicles and boats are typically not covered or have very limited coverage on a homeowner's policy. Call us for a quote today!
- Personal Auto InsuranceYou 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 your 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.
An insurance company that specializes in this market will cover your vehicle at agreed value rather than a stated amount. There could be a vast difference between the two.
The "Stated Amount" form states the insurance company will pay the lesser of:
- The Stated Amount or
- The cost to repair the covered auto not to exceed the "Stated Amount" or
- The "Actual Cash Value"
However, if you insure a vehicle at agreed value for a certain amount and there is a total loss, the company will pay that amount.

- ATV InsuranceInsurance 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 InsuranceOne 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.
- Condo Insurance
One little policy does a lot. A condominium insurance policy reimburses you for damage to your condo, from the walls in, and from a variety of causes. If your condo is totally destroyed or you cannot use it for a period of time, your condo owners policy will also cover that. The insurance extends to your condo'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.
- 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.
If you move out of your home for any reason and it is completely vacant for over thirty days, most policies do not cover freezing of pipes and vandalism and malicious mischief. Our agency has markets to address all of these situations.
- Flood InsuranceEven 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 BusinessMore 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 TheftAbduction 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.
- 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.
Motorcycle insurance covers most types of motorcycles including, cruisers, street sport, touring, high-performance bikes and scooters.
We can find many discounts for motorcycle insurance for riders in the Hudson and River Falls area. Often, automatic credits are avaialble if your motorcycle is insured with the same company that provides your auto insurance.
- Personal UmbrellaSometimes the coverage limits in our automobile and homeowner policies are not enough. Litigation today results in more and more jury awards for hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. An umbrella provides extra protection of $1 million or more.
- Renters Insurance
One little policy does a lot. A renters policy covers all most all of your personal property in your apartment, and in some cases, out of your rental unit. 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.
- Scheduled Personal PropertyMany of us have possessions that are not adequately protected by a standard homeowner policy. Examples include jewelry, antiques, oriental carpets, art work, sports equipment, collectibles and firearms. Scheduling important possessions gives you adequate levels of protection, coverage against broader causes of loss and no deductible.
- Wedding InsuranceWedding costs today quickly climb into the tens of thousands of dollars. Unforeseen events resulting in the postponement or cancellation of a wedding, and last minute replacement of service providers can leave you with $10,000 or $20,000 in expenses and no wedding memories to show for it. Wedding Insurance gives you the peace of mind of knowing that, if wedding plans go awry, your wedding investment can stay protected.

- Commercial Umbrella Insurance Commercial Umbrella Insurance is sometimes used interchangeably with Excess Liability Insurance. The two are really different; an umbrella insurance policy will 'reach down' to provide coverage in gaps between other business insurance policies while a true excess insurance policy is intended to provide extra limits of insurance on top of coverage provided by other business insurance policies that are in place.
- Inland Marine InsuranceInsurance for a variety of property in land transit as well as instrumentalities of transportation such as bridges or tunnels would seem to fit the name, Inland Marine Insurance, and this kind of property is in fact insured by this class of insurance. But the policies in this category also provide coverage for property under construction, construction equipment, scheduled property like jewelry, furs, tools and more that move about or fluctuate in value as well as instrumentalities of communication like broadcast towers.
- Workers' Compensation InsuranceThis type of insurance pays for medical and rehabilitation expenses for workers injured on the job. Lost wages are also covered. Each state governs the compensation details, including the amounts paid. This is often a mandatory type of insurance.
