Automobile Insurance in Maricopa

Auto insurance provides financial compensation when unexpected events happen involving your vehicle. The insurance contract will detail key provisions such as the premium, coverage period and maximum coverage limits. 

All Arizona motorists must maintain minimum levels of liability insurance. Drivers that are stopped by law enforcement should have proof of coverage. The two required types are bodily injury coverage and property damage liability. If you are determined to be responsible for an accident, these coverages will compensate others. 

The current minimum requirements in Maricopa are $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident of bodily injury coverage. The minimum requirement for damage to the property of others is $10,000. Insurance companies are required to offer optional uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage to all consumers as well.

Uninsured motorist coverage would pay for damage if you are involved in an accident with a driver who lacks coverage. Another driver in an accident may have coverage that is insufficient to fully cover the cost of injuries or property damage. In this case, your underinsured motorist coverage would pay for the difference. 

Arizona recently implemented some key changes to the minimum levels of liability coverage that will take effect in 2020. The updated minimums for bodily injury will rise to $25,000 and $50,000. The minimum required property damage coverage will be increased to $15,000. 

Collision and Comprehensive Automobile Coverage

Collision and comprehensive coverage are purchased together to pay for the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle regardless of fault. Collision coverage applies when damage occurs from a collision, such as with another motorist. Comprehensive coverage applies when losses are the result of fire, theft, vandalism, or other circumstances. 

Understanding Deductibles

It is important to understand what a deductible is and how it functions. The deductible amount is the initial amount that the policyholder must pay “out of pocket” before their insurance begins paying. Those seeking to lower the cost of their premiums may consider choosing a higher deductible amount. 

Example Scenario

Imagine you struck a pole while parking your car. The cost to repair the vehicle is determined to be $5,000. If you have a $500 deductible on your policy, you will be responsible to pay $500. The insurance company will then pay the remaining $4,500 necessary for the repairs. 

Maricopa Home Insurance 

Those who own a home need to secure insurance in case of monsoon or other storm damage, theft or fire. Certain natural disasters ( floods for example) are typically not included in standard policies and must be purchased separately. 

Coverage for your Maricopa home may be based on the replacement cost, which pays for the repair or replacement of the home. The new or repaired home will be constructed of materials that are of similar quality to the existing structure. Replacement cost coverage does not account for depreciation of the property that may reduce the value. 

Extended Replacement or Guaranteed Cost Coverage

Homeowners that are willing to pay a slightly higher policy premium may choose guaranteed cost coverage. These policies have provisions that guarantee to replace the home without regard for the appraised value of the home. The insurance cost limits are typically extended by an average of roughly 20%. 

The Basic Types of Maricopa Homeowners Insurance

Dwelling coverage covers the structure of the home including the foundation, walls, ceilings, etc. Content coverage may compensate the homeowner for losses that are not structural. This applies to items within the home such as furniture and clothing. Personal liability coverage is used to compensate those who may be injured while on your property, such as from unsafe conditions. 

“Add-On” or Optional Home Insurance Coverage

Most homeowner’s insurance policies will have optional or supplemental forms of coverage that can be added. Common examples we have seen in Maricopa include  flood insurance. Depending on the specific policy provisions, those with unattached structures such as a shed, awning or gazebo may need additional coverage as well. 

 

Business or Commercial Insurance in Maricopa

Commercial Insurance

Businesses typically will purchase general liability insurance coverage. For example, this may apply when someone is injured on business property. The business may have a commercial automobile policy that protects company-owned or employee-operated vehicles. Product liability coverage may be purchased when companies make or distribute products that may have a defect and create an injury or cause property damage. 

Professional Liability Insurance

Professional liability coverage is purchased by those in certain occupations that could be liable for losses resulting from errors or negligence. This form of coverage is often referred to as errors or omissions coverage.

Maricopa Workers Comp Insurance

Workers’ compensation coverage is generally required for all Maricopa businesses. It is used to compensate your employees that are injured or become disabled as a result of a work-related accident. If you have questions on whether you need coverage or have the right amount of coverage, call us for a free review.

Life Insurance

Those with dependent family members should purchase life insurance. This coverage provides “lump sum” coverage to beneficiaries in case the insured party was to die. For example, it may be critical to replace future lost income of a parent who dies leaving behind surviving children. If you are nearby our Maricopa offices, stop by.

Why Choose a local Maricopa Independent Insurance Agency?

An independent insurance agent represents multiple insurance companies, which allows greater flexibility in finding a suitable policy for an insurance customer. Insurance agents that represent a single insurer are commonly referred to as “captive” agents. An independent agent is more likely to find an insurance solution that addresses your specific needs at an affordable cost.
