Why You Need Good Liability Coverage On Your Homeowner's Insurance

/ Matt Elwood - Allstate Insurance/

Warm weather has arrived and everyone is beginning their yard work. Mowing, planting
flowers, and digging those vegetable gardens. There is a lot of work to be done.

So let's say that you dig a large hole in the front yard so you can plant a new tree. You
walk away for a moment and while you're gone the kid next door runs through the yard,
falls in the hole, and breaks his ankle.

Unfortunately, you could be held responsible. But not to worry, your homeowner's
liability insurance is made for these kind of situations. It will pay if someone is injured
on your property. It's the coverage that protects you if the dog bites your child's friend
(as long as it's not a restricted breed) or if your cousin falls down your front steps.

If you have a large number of assets, then you'll want higher liability coverage. If the
injury exceeds your liability coverage amount, then you could be sued for the difference.
Work with your agent local Allstate agent Matt Elwood to determine the amount of coverage that you are comfortable carrying.

No one can protect themselves by just being careful alone. There are too many
possible scenarios that you could never foresee. But with the right insurance coverage,
you'll never have to worry.

Call your Port Angeles agent Matt Elwood at 360-452-9200 to schedule a no obligation consultation and homeowner's insurance quote.

Car Insurance For New Port Angeles Graduates

/ Matt Elwood - Allstate Insurance/

So you just graduated and are ready to go out on your own. You've figured out your
rent and have your own car but now you need insurance. Where to begin?

Here's what you need to know…

First, you must have liability insurance. It's required by the state of Washington. If you're in an at fault accident, you could be held legal repsponsible for injuries and property damage done to other people so that is why you must have liability insurance. The Washington State minimums for liability is $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident and $10,000 property damage liability.

If you want your car to be covered, then you'll need comprehensive and collision. This is
sometimes called "full coverage". It costs a little bit more but protects your vehicle, subject to your deductible. You'll be required to have this if you are paying off a car loan.

Car Insurance policies are typically for six months. You can pay in full or
make monthly installment payments. You can take advantage of discounts by setting up automatic payments.

You always want to make sure your insurance is paid on time. If not, you run the risk of
not being covered if you have an accident and receiving a no-insurance ticket (which
can get very expensive!)

If you are afraid you won't be able to pay on time, call us and let us review your policy
and discuss your options.

How can you lower your insurance cost? Having a good credit score, not getting into an
accident, and having regular insurance reviews will keep your cost manageable. Let
our agency work with you to create an affordable plan that will protect you while also
giving you the most bang for your buck.

Give us a call at 360-452-9200 to get started today!

Port Angeles Summer Insurance Tips

/ Matt Elwood - Allstate Insurance/

Summer is on its way!  Before we know it there will be Memorial Day barbecues and weekends at all of the great lakes here on the Olympic Peninsula.

That's why now is a great time to review extra insurance coverage on all of your summer toys.  Read below for things to consider and review with your insurance agent before the big items come out of winter storage.

RV

Your motor home or travel trailer needs insurance coverage, especially if you'll be driving or pulling it this year.  Even if you don't have a loan on your RV, you will want it covered for theft or damage.  Whether they are parked on a lake lot for the season or driving cross country, we offer several RV policies to fit your needs.  Just call us for a quote.

Boat

The same thing goes for your boats and jet skis.  You've made a big investment and it's important to protect them.  Not only should you worry about damage to your boat, but also make sure you have the proper amount of liability coverage.  Don’t forget your life jackets!  

Motorcycle

Ready to hit the 101 for a long drive?  Remember to brush up on your safety skills and always wear a helmet.  Don’t forget to make sure your motorcycle has liability coverage just like your vehicle!  We can help you determine what coverage you need.  

Swimming Pool

If you own a pool, then you need extra liability coverage including a Personal Umbrella Policy.  Why?  Because there is a lot more risk of someone being injured when you have a pool.  Don’t skimp on your coverage and make sure you have the pool area secured and safe.  

Summer is a lot more fun when you know that your high price recreational items are properly insured and protected.  Take 15 minutes to call us for a quote or to review your current coverage.  Call 360-452-9200 today!

/ Matt Elwood - Allstate Insurance/

Building your dream home in Port Angeles? Make sure you have the right type of insurance. Homeowners insurance provides coverage for your home, while course of construction insurance provides protection for your home as it is in the process of being built.

Certain policies may also cover theft of building materials and premises liability during the building process. Before you begin your build, be sure to check with your agent to see what is covered and if there any policy exclusions.

Once your project is complete, be sure to let your insurance agent know so they can covert the policy to a traditional homeowners policy
