Insurance That You’ll Want to Review
The more people, the more chances that someone could get hurt. It doesn’t hurt to protect yourself and your assets.
Quick Facts to Know:
- Liability insurance protects you if someone gets hurt and/or has their property damaged or stolen.
- Your property insurance helps protect your property if it gets damaged or stolen. We can also chat with you about what coverage on your home and car insurance policies can help protect you and your family if you and/or they get hurt on your property.
Some Personal Insurance That You’ll Want to Review and Make Sure Is Good to Go Before Game Day:
- Your Home Insurance:
- Do you have stable renters Insurance or homeowners’ insurance?
- Consider getting umbrella insurance. If you have it already, review your current policy.
- Review your liability and property damage portions of your policy.
- Your Car Insurance:
- Make sure that you have stable uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.
- Consider getting rental car insurance if you do not have it already.
- Consider getting full coverage and medical payments coverage.
- Review your liability and PIP portions of your policy.
- If people will be coming over to your house, review your classic car insurance, motorcycle insurance, RV insurance, boat insurance, ATV insurance, and/or specialty insurance for any other cars and expensive toys like snowmobiles. You never know if someone will accidentally hit them or damage them in some way.
- BUSINESS OWNERS: Are you thinking of having a fun shindig on your commercial property, or at a local restaurant or somewhere else that you can rent? You will want to review the same areas in your commercial insurance policies as the ones listed above, paying very close attention to liability aspects. Also, if you are going to rent out a space, ask us about event insurance.

- *Please make sure that you are following laws and practicing safety precautions. Keep in mind that you cannot legally have a tailgate anywhere you want, and drinking and smoking in public is not safe or legal. Do not provide alcohol to those who are underage. Practice safety by monitoring your drinks, having a safe ride home, having a cellphone in case of an emergency, keeping a close eye on children, having a buddy system, etc. It is less fun when someone gets hurt, arrested, and/or sued, and illegal activity can void your insurance coverage.*
