Questions? We Have Answers.
Insurance can be complex, and you may have questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about our policies and services.
What types of insurance do you offer?
We offer a broad range of insurance policies to meet our clients’ varied needs. Our offerings include Personal lines like home and auto, a variety of commercial insurance options, farm & ranch policies, crop and livestock insurance, and flood policies for personal and commercial needs. Whether you need coverage for your property, vehicle, or business, we’ve got you covered.
How much coverage do I need?
The amount of coverage you need depends on your individual circumstances. Generally, you should consider:
- Your current income and future earning potential
- Your debts and financial obligations
- Your family’s living expenses
- Future costs like children’s education or retirement
- Any existing coverage through work or other policies
A common rule of thumb is to have coverage that’s 10-15 times your annual income. However, this can vary based on your specific situation. For a more accurate assessment, consider scheduling a consultation with one of our agents. We can help you evaluate your needs and find the right coverage to protect your loved ones and financial future.
What factors affect my insurance cost?
Several factors can influence your insurance premiums, including:
- Coverage Amount:
- The level of coverage you choose directly impacts your premium. Higher coverage limits generally result in higher costs.
- Deductible:
- A higher deductible can lower your premium, but it means you’ll pay more out of pocket in the event of a claim.
- Personal Information:
- Factors such as your age, gender, and marital status can affect rates, as insurers use this data to assess risk.
- Location:
- Where you live plays a significant role. Areas with higher crime rates or more frequent natural disasters may have higher premiums.
- Driving Record:
- A clean driving history with no accidents or violations typically leads to lower premiums, while a history of claims can increase costs.
- Type of Vehicle:
- The make and model of your car can impact your premium. Vehicles with high safety ratings or low theft rates often qualify for lower rates.
- Credit History:
- In many states, insurers consider your credit score when determining premiums. A better credit score can lead to lower rates.
- Claims History:
- If you have a history of filing claims, insurers may view you as a higher risk, resulting in higher premiums.
- Discounts:
- Many insurers offer discounts for various reasons, such as bundling multiple policies, maintaining a good driving record, or having safety features in your vehicle.
- Market Conditions:
- Economic factors and changes in the insurance market can also influence premium rates.
Understanding these factors can help you make informed decisions about your coverage and find ways to potentially lower your premiums. If you have specific questions about your situation, feel free to reach out to us for personalized assistance.
How does the claims process work?
The claims process typically follows these general steps:
- Report the incident to us as soon as possible.
- Provide necessary details about the event and any damages.
- A claims adjuster is assigned to assess the situation.
- The adjuster will investigate and evaluate the claim.
- Once approved, the payment repairs are arranged.
While this outlines the basic process, each claim is unique and may require additional steps.

How often should I review my coverage?
It’s generally recommended to review your insurance coverage at least once a year. However, there are certain situations when you should review your policies more frequently:
- Annual review: Set aside time each year to go over your policies and ensure they still meet your needs.
- Major life events: Review your coverage when you experience significant changes such as:
- Getting married or divorced
- Having a child
- Buying a new home or car
- Starting a business
- Significant changes in income
- Policy renewals: Use renewal periods as an opportunity to reassess your coverage needs.
- Changes in assets: If you’ve acquired valuable items or made home improvements, review your coverage to ensure adequate protection.
- New laws or regulations: Stay informed about changes that might affect your insurance requirements.
Regular reviews help ensure you have the right amount of coverage as your life circumstances change. If you’re unsure about your coverage needs, don’t hesitate to contact us for a personalized assessment. We’re here to help you stay properly protected.
