Atwood Insurance Agency

Car insurance is designed to protect you and everyone who shares the road from the potentially high cost of accident-related and other damages or injuries. It is a contract in which you pay a certain amount — or “premium” — to your insurance company in exchange for a set of coverages you select. A basic car insurance policy is required for drivers in most states, although the mandatory minimum coverage and policy limits will vary. If you finance or lease your vehicle, your lender may also require specific car insurance coverages and limits. Beyond legal requirements, carrying car insurance is a smart decision. If you cause an accident or get into one with an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may be held responsible to cover related expenses, such as car repairs, property damage, medical bills, lost wages, legal fees and more. Without the proper coverage, your financial well-being may be at risk. Working with an insurance representative to create a car insurance policy that addresses your individual needs and budget can protect you, your loved ones and your assets in the aftermath of an accident.

Homeowners insurance can protect you from the unexpected. If your home is damaged, your belongings are stolen or someone gets injured on your property, it can help cover repairs or replacement, temporary housing, medical bills, legal fees and more. A homeowners policy is recommended for anyone who owns a home or condo, and may even be required by your mortgage lender. In certain areas, you may need separate policies or coverage to help protect your home and personal belongings against damage due to floods, earthquakes, windstorms or hail.Most policies have 3 key elements: the premium which is how much you pay for coverage, deductibles which are how much you’re responsible for out-of-pocket in the event of a covered Claim, and limits which are the most your insurer will pay for a covered claim. Home insurance is coverage you hope to never have to use, but if the unexpected happens, it can help you restore your life back to normal.Learn more about homeowners insurance.
