Renters Insurance in Cincinnati, What Is It?

Simply put renters insurance provides coverage to protect your personal property. Please note one company definition:

We cover personal property owned or used by an insured person anywhere in the world. This includes items not permanently attached to or otherwise forming a part of the realty. When personal property is located at an insured person’s residence, other than the residence premises, coverage is limited to 10% of the Coverage C – Personal Property coverage limit, or $1,000 whichever is greater. This limitation does not apply to personal property in a newly acquired principal residence for the first 30 days after you begin to move property there.

Limitations of Renters Insurance.

You should be aware that the majority of renter’s insurance policies that are available for sale will only cover claims that occur if they are named in the insurance policy. This is better known as a named perils insurance policy. You can click here to read a list of the 16 perils covered by one company offering renters insurance in Cincinnati.

An optional endorsement might be available with some insurance companies in Cincinnati that would provide what is sometimes called “all risk coverage.” This endorsement does not restrict coverage to only 16 possible events. You can call us at 513-662-7000 for details about this.

Like any insurance policy there are also exclusions, limitations of coverage and terms and conditions that are built into the renter’s insurance policy that you need to be aware of.

Are Personal Electronics Covered, Such As My IPhone, IPad, Computers, Plasma/LCD TVS, or Entertainment Systems?

Depending on what event causes the damage to these personal possessions will dictate whether or not coverage will apply for your renters insurance policy.  A new book written by Jack Thomas that will be released later this year will provide real-life coverage scenarios that show how insurance companies reject or deny claims and how you can avoid potentially tens of thousands of dollars of reimbursable insurance claims.

Flood Insurance in Cincinnati

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

Do you want information about flood insurance in Cincinnati? Contact 513-662-7000 to speak with one of our insurance representatives who can help you with flood insurance.

Flood Claims Are Excluded on Your Homeowners Insurance Policy

Unfortunately if your home becomes flooded due to an outside water source entering your premises it’s likely that any resulting damage will be excluded by your homeowner’s insurance policy. The reason why is due to a specific exclusion in the homeowners insurance policy.

Regrettably many people have learned the hard way that a flood is automatically excluded with every homeowner’s insurance company.

Please Note How the Flood Damage Exclusion Is Described:

We do not cover loss resulting directly or indirectly by any of the following under any Section I – Property Protection coverages. Such loss is excluded regardless of any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any sequence to the loss.

  • Water damage, meaning: a. flood, surface water, waves, tidal water or overflow of a body of water. We do not cover spray from any of these, whether or not driven by wind; b. water or water-borne material which backs up through sewers or drains or which overflows or is discharged from a sump, sump pump or related equipment; or c. water or water-borne material below the surface of the ground. This includes water which exerts pressure on or flows, seeps or leaks through any part of a building or other structure, sidewalk, driveway, foundation or swimming pool; caused by or resulting from human or animal forces or any act of nature.

Flood Insurance in OhioFlood Insurance in Cincinnati Is Only Available through FEMA

Flood insurance can be purchased through our agency by calling 513-662-7000, but it is underwritten by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. (FEMA) Certain insurance companies have been authorized by FEMA to administratively issue flood insurance policies.

You should be aware that flood insurance has limitations and exclusions of coverage and will not cover every single incidence of a “flood.” You can download a copy of the standard flood insurance policy issued by FEMA by clicking here:  Flood Insurance Policy

Best Prices on Umbrella Insurance in Cincinnati

Saturday, June 25th, 2011

Do you need an umbrella insurance policy in Cincinnati and you’re looking for the best prices? Call 513-662-7000 and speak with one of the experts with our independent insurance agency. Umbrella insurance quotes are available in all 50 states click here.

Do I Really Need Umbrella Insurance in Cincinnati?

If a serious accident or claim occurs and you do not have umbrella protection you may be in serious financial jeopardy due to the fact that all of your personal assets can be taken from you to satisfy court order judgments that are levied against you.

If you believe that filing bankruptcy will help you if a large judgment is assessed against you, you might want to reevaluate that idea.

The court system will first take away all of your liquid assets to satisfy the judgment! So another words, if you had $500,000 in a mutual fund which amounts to your entire life savings, and a $1 million judgment is assessed against you, they will take your $500,000, every single penny! The court could write off the other $500,000, or set up a garnishment order against your future earnings.

Recent Example Where an Umbrella Insurance Policy Would’ve Come in Handy

A local police officer was severely injured by a person who hit the officer by accident and subsequently fled the scene. Later that person turned themselves in. The police officer sued for his injuries and was awarded $1.9 million. If this person did not have an umbrella insurance policy they would need to pay $1.9 million completely out-of-pocket!
