Watson & Knox

Our agency is a 3rd generation family owned business that has faithfully served the CSRA since 1929. We look forward to serving you! Knox, Sr. Tom Harber.

The origin of Watson & Knox, Inc. can be traced back to 1929, when John W. (Bubba) Watson began the insurance agency in Thomson, Ga. In 1931, Mr Watson’s good friend, Robert E. purchased a one-half interest in the agency; thus the name Watson & Knox. Bob, Sr., a local attorney, subsequently purchased Mr. Watson’s interest in the agency and operated it as a sole proprietorship until 1968, at which

time the company was incorporated and ownership transferred to his 4 children. During Bob Sr.’s ownership and up through the late 1970’s, the agency was managed by Mr. In January of 1978, Andy Knox, Sr. began his employment with the agency and has served as its President since Mr. Harber’s retirement in late 1978. The third generation of the Robert E. Knox family began its service when Andy Knox, Jr. joined the company in July of 2005. Since 1978, the agency has grown from 2 employees and representing 2 insurance companies to 14 employees and representing more than 30 different companies. The agency is departmentalized with personnel specifically trained and working in personal lines, commercial lines; and employee benefits. We look forward to continue to serve the Thomson and surrounding area for many more years.

Ever feel like your insurance policy review is based on guesswork?

We recently helped a client review their home and auto coverage—and, at first, nothing really stood out. No clear savings, no obvious changes.

The problem? We didn’t have the full picture.

Once we used our Connected Coverage Review process to pull everything together, things changed quickly:

✔ Found gaps in coverage
✔ Improved overall protection
✔ Added an umbrella policy
✔ Lowered their premium

Same client. Same policies. Just a clearer view.

If you’re not sure you’re getting the full story from your current coverage, this is a great example of what a more complete review can uncover.

ATV & UTV (side-by-side) season is here!

With spring-like temperatures showing up, many people are getting their ATVs and UTVs back out, but here's something many owners don't realize.....homeowners insurance often does not cover accidents involving off-road vehicles.

If you own an ATV or UTV, here are a few things worth checking:

• Do you have liability coverage if someone gets injured?
• Are your upgrades and accessories insured?
• Would your policy cover an accident that happens somewhere other than your property?

We recently created a quick guide explaining what ATV & UTV owners should know about their insurance coverage.

Take a look here: https://www.watsonandknox.com/news-and-insights/do-you-know-if-your-atv-or-utv

And.......if you’re not sure what your current policy covers, our team is happy to review it with you.
