Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any additional questions, please email info@bollinsure.com or get a review of all your insurance needs.
What types of personal insurance do most people need?
Most individuals and families carry a combination of personal insurance policies such as auto insurance, homeowners insurance, renters insurance, and personal umbrella coverage. The exact mix depends on your assets, lifestyle, and risk exposure.
What is liability coverage in personal insurance?
Liability coverage helps protect you financially if you are found responsible for causing injury to another person or damage to their property. This coverage is commonly included in auto insurance, homeowners insurance, and renters insurance policies.
Why do insurance companies require certain limits before issuing an umbrella policy?
Umbrella policies sit above underlying policies such as auto and homeowners insurance. Insurance companies typically require minimum liability limits on those policies to ensure there is adequate primary coverage before the umbrella applies.
What is the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?
Replacement cost generally refers to the cost to repair or replace damaged property without deducting depreciation. Actual cash value typically factors in depreciation, which can result in lower claim payments.
What does homeowners insurance typically cover?
Homeowners insurance generally helps protect your home, personal belongings, and liability if someone is injured on your property. Coverage may also apply to certain additional living expenses if the home becomes temporarily uninhabitable due to a covered loss.
What is a personal umbrella policy and what does it cover?
A personal umbrella policy provides additional liability protection above the limits of your home and auto policies. It can help protect your assets if a large claim or lawsuit exceeds the limits of your underlying insurance coverage.
What factors affect the cost of auto insurance?
Auto insurance premiums are influenced by factors such as driving history, location, vehicle type, coverage limits, deductibles, and claims history. Insurance companies also evaluate broader market factors such as accident trends and repair costs.
How often should I review my personal insurance coverage?
It is generally a good idea to review your personal insurance program annually or whenever significant life changes occur, such as purchasing a home, buying a vehicle, starting a business, or acquiring valuable assets.
Do renters need insurance even if they don’t own the property?
Yes. Renters insurance helps protect personal belongings and provides liability protection if someone is injured in your rental unit. The landlord’s policy typically covers the building itself, but not the renter’s personal property.
How much liability insurance should I carry?
The appropriate amount of liability insurance depends on your personal situation, including assets, income, property ownership, and overall financial exposure. Many people choose limits that help protect their assets from potential lawsuits.
Why do home insurance rates increase even if I haven’t filed a claim?
Insurance pricing can change due to market-wide factors such as inflation, increased rebuilding costs, weather events, litigation trends, and changes in the insurance market. These factors can impact premiums even if an individual policyholder has not filed a claim.
Can personal insurance policies cover business activities at home?
Some personal policies may exclude or limit coverage for business activities conducted from a residence. If you operate a business from home, it is important to review your policies to ensure appropriate coverage is in place.
