Insurance

Auto Insurance Policies

  • Bodily Injury: Pays for medical bills and lost wages for others you hurt in an accident.
  • Property Damage: Pays to fix other people’s property (cars, poles, fences) that you hit.
  • Medical Payments: Pays for your own medical bills and funeral costs, no matter who caused the accident.
  • UMBI & UMPD: Protects you and your car if the person who hits you has little or no insurance.
  • Transportation Expenses: Reimburses you for rentals or bus fares while your business vehicle is being repaired.
  • Towing & Labor: Covers roadside assistance like jump-starts, tire changes, and towing.
  • Collision: Pays to fix your car after you hit another vehicle or object.
  • Comprehensive: Pays for non-crash damage to your car, like theft, fire, or natural disasters.

Business Insurance Policies

  • Business Owner’s Policy (BOP): A bundled insurance plan covering property, equipment, and liability for small businesses in one affordable package.
  • Commercial General Liability: Covers claims related to bodily injury, medical expenses, or damage caused to another person’s property.
  • Worker’s Compensation: Covers employee medical expenses and lost wages for work-related injuries or illnesses.
  • Automobile Liability: Protects against injuries or property damage caused by business vehicles during accidents.
  • Commercial Umbrella: Offers additional financial protection by covering costs that go beyond the limits of your existing insurance policies during major claims or lawsuits.
  • Crime Insurance: Safeguards your business against losses caused by theft, robbery, fraud, forgery, or employee dishonesty that may not be included in standard insurance coverage.

Life Insurance Plans

Term Life Insurance

  • Provides coverage for a set period (like 10, 20, or 30 years). It is the most affordable way to get a large amount of protection, but it expires if you outlive the term.
  • Annual Renewable: Starts with very low costs that increase every year as you age.
  • Level Premium: Costs more initially, but your monthly payment never changes during the term.

Permanent Life Insurance

  • Covers you for your entire life and includes a “cash value” component that acts as a tax-free savings account you can use while alive.
  • Whole Life: The most stable option with fixed payments and guaranteed savings growth.
  • Index Universal Life: Offers flexible payments and allows you to adjust your coverage amount as your needs change.
  • Variable Life: Best for investors; it lets you put your savings into stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
  • Variable Universal: Combines the flexible payments of Universal life with the investment power of Variable life.

Group Health Insurance Plans

  • Level-Funded (Fully Insured): The simplest option. You pay a set premium, and the insurance company takes all the risk. They pay for all medical claims, whether they are cheap or very expensive.

  • Self-Funded (Self-Insured): Your company pays for all healthcare costs directly out of its own funds. You skip the insurance middleman but carry the full financial risk if claims are high.

  • Partially Self-Funded: A hybrid approach. You pay for your employees’ healthcare costs up to a specific limit, then use “stop-loss” insurance to cover any huge or unexpected expenses beyond that amount.

Home Insurance Policies

  • Dwelling Coverage: Covers repair or rebuilding costs if your home is damaged by fire, storms, theft, and other covered events.
  • Other Structures: Covers detached structures like fences, garages, and sheds.
  • Personal Property: Protects belongings like furniture, clothes, and electronics from theft or damage.
  • Loss of Use: Pays for temporary living expenses if your home becomes unlivable during repairs.
  • Personal Liability: Protects you if you are legally responsible for injury or property damage to others.
  • Medical Payments: Covers medical expenses for guests injured on your property, regardless of fault.
