WHAT WE DO

Let us share with you some thoughts reviews and testimonials from our valued customers.

AUTO INSURANCE

Auto Insurance isn't just a good thing to have to protect you financially in the case of an accident - in many states it's required. All of the Insurance companies we represent provide a wide range of auto Insurance products at a fair price. Your price gets even better if you qualify for any of our available discounts. When applying for auto Insurance, you're usually asked whether you want collision and/or comprehensive coverage, how high you want your deductible to be, what liability limits you want, and whether you want any types of optional coverage. We can help you understand what these terms mean and how much coverage is right for you.

  • Standard and Preferred auto Insurance
  • High Risk auto Insurance
  • Classic autos / High Valued autos
  • Special program for Mature/Elderly Drivers
  • Discounts that are available
  • Recreational vehicles / Boats

Coverage options:

Collision and comprehensive (other than collision) coverages

Collision and Comprehensive (other than collision) coverages pay for damage to your automobile. You can purchase either or both of these coverages for each vehicle you own. If you have an auto loan you may be required to purchase both.

Collision coverage insures you against damage to your vehicle caused during an accident. Comprehensive (other than collision) coverage insures you against all other physical damage to your car caused by such events as fire, theft, flood, and vandalism.

Liability coverage

Liability coverage pays for injuries you cause to other people and damage you cause to other people's property when you are at fault in an automobile accident.

Medical Payments coverage

Medical Payments coverage pays medical expenses (up to a specified dollar limit) for you and passengers of your car who are injured in an automobile accident, no matter who is at fault. If you and your passengers have health Insurance, you may not need this coverage.

Personal Injury Protection

Some states require Personal Injury Protection, which is also known as No-Fault coverage. This coverage pays for things like medical and rehabilitative expenses, replacement services, and funeral expenses. It also pays for loss of income if you are injured in an auto accident and are unable to work.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage pays if you are injured by a person who is completely uninsured or doesn't have enough liability Insurance to cover your injuries. It also covers you if you are in an accident with a hit-and-run driver.

Optional coverage

Optional or special coverage includes extras such as towing, rental reimbursement, and roadside assistance. None of these coverages are required

How much do I need?

Choosing the appropriate level of auto Insurance coverage depends on a number of factors, including assets you must protect (liability coverage), value of your vehicle (collision and comprehensive), the amount of money you can afford to pay out-of-pocket (deductibles), and your tolerance for risk.

Liability insurance protects the assets of a business when it is sued for something it is liable for by causing an injury or property damage. Covered general liability claims can include bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and advertising injury (damage from slander or false advertising). The insurance company can cover compensatory and general damages as well. Punitive damages aren't covered because they're considered to be punishment for intentional acts.

HOME INSURANCE

For most people, their home is their greatest financial asset. Properly protecting that asset is a top priority. The insurance industry, especially concerning home coverage, can be very confusing and purchasing the right coverage can be a daunting task for the average homeowner. Policies can be very complex and most people don’t have the time or energy to research all the choices in order to make a fully informed decision. This is why it’s so important to employ the services of a professional who is intimately familiar with the nuances of the process and can navigate the almost endless possibilities to provide coverage that caters directly to your needs and desires. DeLaney Insurance not only offers this service but seeks to help you understand your own needs in order to determine what coverage is best for you.

My home is worth $300,000. How much coverage do I need?

It depends. You need to base your coverage on the replacement cost of the home, not the actual market value. My job is to help you establish the replacement cost. Need to know the market value? Ask your realtor, or click here if you don't have one.

Do I need flood insurance?

If you own your home and have a mortgage, your mortgage company only requires you to carry flood if you're in the "100 Year Flood Plain", however there is nothing more damaging to a building than water. According FEMA, 25% off all flood insurance claims come from areas of minimal flood risk. Floods and flash floods happen in all 50 states. For these reasons, we recommend everyone, including renters, to carry flood insurance. For more information, go to floodsmart.gov

My wife lost her diamond ring. Is it covered in my home insurance policy?

It depends. All home owner policies have "special limits" on certain classes of personal property. If the ring, or similar item, has a high value it is unlikely that the full value will be covered. The best way to insure that your high value articles are covered, is to provide adequate proof of value and insure them separately before a loss occurs. At Delaney Insurance we strive to identify all of your personal property limits to make sure your assets are covered.

I rent an apartment. Do I need insurance?

Absolutely, a for a couple of reasons. For example, if a fire were to start in your apartment you could be held responsible for all the damages, not just your own. Having your own insurance guarantees that all your belongings will be replaced in case of theft, burglary, and most natural disasters. Renters insurance is very inexpensive. Lets modify this just a bit. Last sentence to: If you have your auto insurance with us you may qualify for a multi-line discount and the discount savings, in some cases, saves you more than the cost of the Renter's Insurance Policy!

LIFE INSURANCE

The folks at DeLaney Insurance know why you work. They also have the expertise to provide your family with the financial security they need in your absence. They have extensive experience in creating policies that will provide maximum benefits at a time when your family needs it most.

Do I need life insurance?

Probably. If you have dependents or a spouse it is very likely that they would need additional capital to replace your income in the event of a premature death, sickness or injury in order to meet basic living expenses and to maintain the current standard of living. This can be a complicated discussion that many people prefer to avoid or delay, sometimes until it is too late. We have experience helping to guide individuals and families through the details and options, and can offer great rates on coverage from many top-rated companies. Often we get questions about life insurance or disability insurance coverage from folks after they’ve had an incident which makes finding coverage more difficult, more costly, and in some cases impossible.

We have experience helping to guide you through the details and options and have helped hundreds of clients gain peace of mind with life and disability insurance coverage. It is best to set this coverage up when you are young and healthy, so please reach out to us today and we’ll be happy to help.
