Some people believe that their landlord’s insurance policy provides protection for the renter, however, this isn’t the case. A landlord’s policy is designed to protect the owner of the building against damages and loss of income from circumstances that render the property unrentable. If you want peace of mind that your jewelry and collectible items are safe in the event of a fire or burglary, you need renter’s insurance.

In general, renter’s insurance in Georgia may cover personal property, liability, medical payments, and loss of use. Personal property coverage helps you replace your furniture, appliances, and clothes. Usually, Georgia renter’s insurance uses replacement cost coverage, which means that even if your furniture had lost much of its value before it was destroyed, you’ll get enough money so that you can replace the item with a similar quality product at retail cost. Liability coverage comes into play if someone claims that negligence on your part caused property damage or bodily harm. Regardless of whether this claim is true or false, liability coverage protects you financially. And in Georgia, the insurance company has the duty to defend, meaning that your insurance company pays out of its pocket to investigate a claim and for your legal defense, if needed. Medical payments coverage comes in handy when someone suffers a small injury in your home. For example, your guest may get cut while helping you wash dishes, and in this hypothetical situation, your medical payments coverage would pay for the injury without requiring a liability claim. Loss of use coverage comes in handy when you’re going through a situation where you aren’t able to use your home. If you’re getting asbestos removed from your home and you’re forced to live in a hotel and use a rental car, this coverage would help pay for those expenses.

Renters often underestimate the value of their possessions, and they believe that their landlord’s insurance will cover the costs of any damages they experience. It can be very expensive to replace damaged possessions, and the landlord’s insurance usually does not provide coverage for renters. The rental agreement generally stipulates this. Whether you live in Woodstock, GA or any of the nearby communities, the agents of Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. are available to help you learn about the protections you can get as a renter. The peace of mind that renters insurance provides justifies the nominal cost.

Renters could experience property damage from problems beyond their control. For example, if water leaks from another renter’s unit and causes a lot of damage, that renter may not have coverage to protect you. The renter would need insurance if a water pipe bursts within the their unit. A  washing machine hose could rupture, or a sink could overflow causing damage to the renter’s unit and other units in the building. If fire or a natural disaster causes damage to the renters property, the landlord’s insurance will not cover that damage either. A few natural disaster coverage provisions are considered optional coverage, and our office can discuss these.

Personal liability protection is another important reason for having renter’s insurance. If a visitor suffers an injury in the renter’s unit, then the renter can be held responsible for the injury. The renter could face a big medical bill for the visitor’s injuries. Renter’s insurance will protect against a lawsuit filed by the visitor.

If you own a classic car, it is important to get the right coverage to protect your investment. One of the key elements to obtaining the right coverage is to have your car appraised by a certified professional vehicle appraiser. Having this critical information is not only necessary for coverage through most companies, but it ensures that you have the proper coverage.

The Appraisal Process

You will want to find a reputable and knowledgeable appraiser that your insurance company will recognize when writing your policy. You can get a referral from a fellow car enthusiast or you may even get a recommendation from individuals in the automotive repair and sales field. You can even find them in your area by searching the internet. Upon receiving your appraisal, you then present it to your insurance company and insure your vehicle for the appropriate amount. Having this documentation available becomes key during the claims process.

Accident Claims

In most cases, accidents involving classic cars are the fault of the other driver, but there is an issue that you will probably run into during the claim. The other party’s insurance company will contest with a diminished value claim. Having your appraisal will help cement your claim and get the money you deserve during the claims process. Without a certified appraisal, you will not get enough to repair or replace the car adequately. If you make any additions or adjustments to your vehicle, you should have the car appraised accordingly and let your insurance company know immediately. Keep a record of all receipts and communications regarding the vehicle as advised by Georgia Office of Insurance Safety.

Having a classic car with the appropriate insurance requires you to have a certified appraisal that backs your insurance coverage in case of an accident. Protect your investment by keeping your appraisal updated and always inform your insurance company of any changes. If you are looking for high quality classic car insurance coverage in Woodstock, GA, Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. can help you get the coverage you need.

Boat owners know they need insurance to protect their boat and its passengers when it is out on the water. However, not all boat owners are aware of all the risks that come from a hurricane. Hurricanes not only can destroy boats that are docked, they can move a boat to destroy other property as well. It is important to make sure you have adequate coverage for the special risks caused by hurricanes.

When your boat is moored to a pier or dock and hurricane winds or a high tide comes up, suddenly the risk of damage can be very high.  You do not have to only worry about your boat in such weather, you also have to worry about what happens if your boat breaks free and causes property damage when it is suddenly let loose in an out of control condition.

Boat owners are responsible for property damages caused when a boat breaks free from its moorings and careens out of control. This is why it is important to make sure you have adequate insurance coverage. If a boat comes free from its moorings and floats inland to crash through the window pane glass of a beautiful home, destroying the living room; the boat owner has liability for the damages.

It is always a good idea for boat owners to consider all of the risks about what might happen in a major storm and have as much protection with boat insurance as possible to cover all the contingencies.

The old adage "Better to be safe than sorry," applies to boat insurance as well. This means having adequate coverage for boat insurance considers all the possible things that can go wrong and covers as much as possible. This is the wise way to deal with this issue.

Contact your agent at Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. in Woodstock, GA for boat insurance right now, before hurricane season starts.

Anxious. Excited. Overwhelmed. All of these are emotions we might feel as we prepare to move. When we find out we are going to move we may have anxiety over what’s to come. Not knowing what will happen once we move can be hard to deal with. It can also be exciting as we anticipate about our future in a new place. As we get ready to leave our old familiar settings our to-do lists get longer and longer and we get overwhelmed. We may remember about that renters insurance policy at the last minute and wonder if it will still be valid once we move or what to do. Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. wants to help by providing some information so you can cross this task off of your list.

Will My Policy Still be Valid if I Move?

The same rules apply whether you are moving to a new home in Woodstock, GA or somewhere in the state. A lot of times your policy can travel with you if you stay within the state, but it may not if you move out of state or abroad. Every policy is different so it is best to check with your carrier. 

What Should I Do If I am Going to Move?

When you find out you are moving you should notify your insurance company and give them your new address. When you call about your renters insurance, make sure to get confirmation of the change. If they don’t tell you how it will come make sure to ask.  Before you hang up ask for a reference number and the name of the representative you talked to. Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. wants you to be well prepared as you get ready to move to a new place in Woodstock, GA or somewhere else.

Your Business Is Unique
