Most homeowners or drivers have some form of homeowners and auto insurance; however, their coverage might not be enough to protect them in the event of a major claim.

When a serious accident or unexpected lawsuit exceeds what your existing policies can cover, the gap between what you owe and what your insurance pays becomes very real, very fast. That’s where umbrella liability coverage comes in.

Umbrella liability insurance covers costs that would otherwise come straight out of your pocket. With relatively low annual costs, this comprehensive coverage can be one of the most affordable ways to fully protect what you love.

So, if you’re curious about whether umbrella insurance makes sense for your situation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to help you run the numbers and see what makes sense.

A little fall maintenance can go a long way toward helping reduce the risk of common homeowners insurance claims.

Our quick checklist:
• Clean gutters and downspouts
• Inspect the roof for damaged or missing shingles
• Seal gaps around doors, windows, and exterior openings
• Have heating equipment serviced
• Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
• Make sure everyone knows where the main water shutoff is located

These steps cannot prevent every loss, but they can help you spot issues before they become larger problems.

If it has been a while since you reviewed your homeowners coverage, Edward McCarthy Insurance Agency is here to help.

If you have ever wondered what would actually happen to your payout after a covered loss, the answer often comes down to one question: Does your policy use replacement cost value or actual cash value?

These two coverage types work very differently, and understanding them can save you from a costly surprise when you file a claim. Swipe through for a clear breakdown of each.

If you’ve ever loaned your car to a friend or borrowed someone else’s vehicle, you may have wondered what happens if an accident occurs. Would the vehicle owner’s insurance apply — or would the driver’s policy take over?

In most situations, auto insurance follows the vehicle first, not the driver. That means the car's policy is usually the primary source of coverage in the event of an accident. However, that’s not always the case. Swipe for some key details about when the vehicle owner’s policy kicks in and when the driver’s policy is used.

If you’re ever unsure how your coverage applies, want to double-check your policy, or layer on additional auto coverages, we’re always happy to take a look with you. Feel free to give our team a call. We are here to be a resource for you.

As we get closer to boating season, our team has been having more conversations with clients who are either getting their boats back in the water or are taking a fresh look at their overall liability protection on the water.

This is a good time of year to revisit boat insurance, especially since more people are getting out and enjoying the water. Swipe for an overview of common boating accidents, liability, and how boat insurance can help.

If it’s been a while since you last reviewed your policy, or if you want to get set up with your own dedicated boat policy, we are happy to help. Feel free to reach out, and we can start the conversation.
