It is important to understand the amount of money you would get in the event your bike was destroyed. There are typically 3 different options

Actual Cash Value: Pays you the amount  your motorcycle was worth minus any depreciation 

Stated Amount: This would be the amount you would have chosen when you purchased the policy 

 Agreed to value: This is the option most classic motorcycle owners would choose and it is the amount agreed to by you and the insurance company when you purchased the policy.

As any motorcycle rider will tell you the coast of the equipment such as helmets, gloves, and boots can quickly add up. A motorcycle policy will help replace those items in the event that they are damaged. 

In the event an accident occurs within a certain amount of distance from our home, that forces you to stay at a hotel and eat out, your policy may cover part of these expenses. This is typically an extra coverage that will need to be added on to the basic coverage so be sure to ask your agent at Hinman & Associates Insurance whether your policy has the coverage. 

Another coverage option is lay-up coverage. If you do not use the bike during the winter months you can choose a lay-up policy that covers you for theft and other types of claims that could arise as a result of having your bike in storage for the winter months. It is important to remember that if you have this coverage, you should not ride your motorcycle during the winter because if there is an accident you will not be covered.

Before you understand why you may or may not need an umbrella policy it is important that you understand what an umbrella policy is. Think about an umbrella then consider what it does, it protects you from the elements. An umbrella policy does the same thing for your assets, it adds an additional layer of liability protection above and beyond your homeowners or auto insurance policy.  The friendly agents at Hinman & Associates Insurance Reno, NV would be happy to discuss this important coverage with you.

Another name for an umbrella policy is excess liability insurance and it some ways it makes the purpose a lot clearer. In today’s world where suing seems to have become a national pastime, it kicks in when your homeowners or auto insurance limits have been reached. Typically umbrella policies give between one and five million dollars in excess coverage.

If you own a home, have savings or other assets, having an umbrella policy can protect these assets for you. You may not think that you have large enough assets to require this type of coverage but if you own a home of any size and would not like to lose that home to a lawsuit, then it is important to consider getting this coverage.

With a lawsuit, it is not only what you actually own today that is in danger but also what you may earn or own in the future. Owning some things make you more vulnerable to legal liability such as a swimming pool, trampoline or a dog. If you coach children’s sports, are a landlord or even are a volunteer for a non-profit, you can be sued for something you said, wrote or did. Why take a chance with your hard earned assets?

As a grandparent, you want to give your loved ones everything they need to live up to their fullest potential. The right insurance strategy plays an important role in providing the things your family needs to thrive. Here are several reasons why sponsoring a whole life insurance policy from Hinman & Associates Insurance is an intelligent financial decision that grandparents can make for their grandchildren in the Reno, NV area.

• Guarantee their education. A whole life policy accrues cash value over time. If you start a policy when your granddaughter is 8, it’s possible that she’ll have plenty of money for college when she turns 18. The best part is that she won’t have to sell or close her life insurance policy to get the cash.
• Help them build a secure future. It’s more difficult for youngsters to get a start in life these days. Housing prices, education loans, and skyrocketing costs of living continue to push young people away from their economic dreams. The money in their whole life fund could help your grandchild avoid years of struggle.
• Protect their parents from unforeseen circumstances. When a child passes away, grieving parents have plenty of stress on their shoulders. With a life insurance policy, they’ll at least be provided with enough funds to take care of final expenses.
• Preserve their right to buy. As they grow older, children can develop diseases and habits that make it hard for them to qualify for high-quality policies. Buy them a policy early in their lives so they’ll never have to worry about being disqualified for premium policies.

Hinman & Associates Insurance provides life insurance policies for adults and children of all ages. Contact our representatives in the Reno, NV area for more information on life insurance.
