FLOOD

Fact or Fiction:
storm
Floods don't strike twice . . . or do they?

Your Homeowner's Policy Isn't Enough

Losses due to flooding are not covered under most homeowners policies. You can, however, protect your home and its contents through the NFIP, if your community is participating in the program.

Flood insurance is available on almost any enclosed building and its contents. This includes homes, condominiums, mobile homes on foundations, businesses and farms. The contents of a rental unit are also insurable.

Flood Insurance pays claims whether or not the government declares a disaster. Don't wait until disaster strikes. In most cases there is a waiting period before flood insurance coverage takes effect.

We can determine your liability and advise you of the requirements.

We represent companies participating in the National Flood Insurance Program. To find out more about flood insurance, give us an e-mail.

Other coverages we write include but are not
limited to are:

Boats • Jet Skis • Recreational Vehicles
Hurricane and Earthquake Coverage
Flood Insurance
Personal/Executive • Umbrella Coverage

Personal Umbrella Liability

Soaring litigation in our society means you must take extra precaution to protect your family, your assets, your lifestyle.

A Personal Umbrella Liability policy is designed to protect you against soaring legal judgments. And if you are not at fault, the legal fees alone for defense can set you back for life.

This policy adds a million dollars (or more) to your present liability coverage. Your basic policies such as auto, home, boat, etc.; provide liability insurance. But the limit of protection could be inadequate in the event of a large lawsuit.

  • Do you own your home?
  • Do you participate in sport activities, like golf?
  • Do you entertain or host parties?
  • Do you drive an automobile?
  • Do you own a boat or snowmobile?
  • Do you own a pet?

Any yes answer to these questions means you could be the target of a lawsuit which could cost you millions of dollars. Don't risk losing everything you own.

Ask us about a personal umbrella policy to provide the extra protection needed to prevent the loss of your lifestyle.

Many other optional coverages are available. Schedule an appointment today to speak with a Schachte and Gosnell Insurance agent to find out which policy is right for you. (Some coverages not available in all states.)
