A homeowner insurance policy may satisfy the bank holding a mortgage, but that doesn't necessarily mean that insurance policy is best for your budget. There are a wide range of possible home insurance discounts, from credits for safety devices, to discounts for higher deductibles, to credits for having more than one policy with the same company.
As common as homeowner insurance policies are, seldom are any two identical. Here are a few typical customizations:
- Replacement cost valuation for your dwelling
- Replacement cost valuation for contents
- Special, or scheduled insurance for valuable items like jewelry, art, electronics, etc.
- Liability limits appropriate to the risk to your assets, income, and personal pursuits
- Insurance for home business activities
Getting the right home insurance at the right price can be time consuming and complex, but it doesn't need to be - not if you hire Abatelli Insurance to be your insurance agent.
- Personal Auto InsuranceYou need to protect yourself should your vehicle be damaged or stolen. Just as important, you need insurance for liability - property damage or injury to others caused by you and other household members as a result of operating a motor vehicle. Other policy features include medical payment reimbursement and reimbursement for injury caused to you by an uninsured or inadequately insured driver. There are many special situations where you may need to customize your policy; examples include installation of custom audio equipment, business use of your auto and teenage and guest drivers, to name a few.
- Antique, Classic and Customized Automobile InsuranceSpecial autos come in all shapes, sizes and model years. We share you dedication to caring for and protecting your special vehicle. Let us help you care for your classic car by providing the policy that is right for it and you.
- Boat InsuranceOne policy includes protection against loss to your boat, motors, trailers and equipment and liability for property damage or physical injury to others caused by you or other boat operators.
- Condo Insurance
One little policy does a lot. A condominium insurance policy reimburses you for damage to your condo, from the walls in, and from a variety of causes. If your condo is totally destroyed or you cannot use it for a period of time, your condo owners policy will also cover that. The insurance extends to your condo's contents and liability for damage to property of others or injury caused to someone by you or a family member. Your policy can be personalized to include greater levels of protection for important property, home office situations, liability for boat ownership and additions and alterations to your residence.
- Dwelling Fire InsuranceDwelling Fire Insurance is designed to insure residences you own or have a financial interest in but do not live in. Common situations calling for this type of insurance coverage include rental homes, homes that are vacant because they are temporarily uninhabitable or are not currently occupied because of a transition caused by a sale or relocation. In these situations insurance protection is needed for the building but typically not for any contents. Liability insurance for the property can sometimes be added or may be handled through alternative approaches.
- Farm and Ranch InsuranceFarm and ranch insurance can be tailored to protect the part-time gentleman farmer to the full scale agribusiness. Plans can include protection for your personal and business assets and legal liability insurance for both personal and farming pursuits. To get a proposal suited to your individual needs, complete our Farm Quote Request form or use the contact link below. And of course, you can always call or stop by to learn more.
- Flood InsuranceEven if your home or business is located away from water or is covered by a homeowner or business insurance policy, you may still need Flood Insurance. Groundwater flooding can cause damage to buildings on higher ground many miles from a body of water and over 20 percent of flood insurance claims originate from areas that are not considered to be high flood-risk. Homeowner and business insurance policies generally exclude flood and related losses because of the catastrophic nature of floods. Affordable flood insurance protection is available and is often an important component of a sound insurance program.
- Home BusinessMore and more people are working from home or starting home-based businesses. A standard homeowner policy affords limited protection for property and liability risks arising from home business pursuits. We have a range of options and can pick the one that's right for your business no matter how small, new or established.
- Identity TheftAbduction of your personal information can result in financial loss ranging from a thief draining your bank accounts to new debt from fraudulently opened credit accounts. Protect yourself before you become a victim by taking necessary precautions and insuring potential loss.
- Motorcycle Insurance
Motorcycles have a higher rate of fatal accidents than automobiles. United States Department of Transportation data for 2005 from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System show that for passenger cars, 18.62 fatal crashes occur per 100,000 registered vehicles. For motorcycles this figure is higher at 75.19 per 100,000 registered vehicles, four times higher than for cars. Source.
Motorcycle insurance covers most types of motorcycles including, cruisers, street sport, touring, high-performance bikes and scooters.
- Personal Umbrella
Personal umbrella insurance - providing liability protection where there may be none
Most of us have liability insurance - it comes as part of our car insurance, home insurance and other standard insurance policies. But those liability limits are specific to particular policy and there may be gaps between those policies. In some cases, liability protection provided by an umbrella insurance policy reaches down into those gaps to provide liability protection where there might not be any.
Lawsuits can easily exceed $300,000
That's the limit of liability protection for most car and homeowner insurance policies. We aren't immune to those kind of legal judgements here in Whitestone or Flushing, NY. A personal umbrella insurance policy is an affordable way to get much greater liability protection - and protection from financially crippling lawsuits - at very affordable rates. Umbrella coverage limits of $1 million or more are available to protect your assets and future earnings.

- Renters Insurance
One little policy does a lot. A renters policy covers all most all of your personal property in your apartment, and in some cases, out of your rental unit. The insurance extends to your home's contents and liability for damage to property of others or injury caused to someone by you or a family member. Your policy can be personalized to include greater levels of protection for important property, home office situations, liability for boat ownership.
- Scheduled Personal PropertyMany of us have possessions that are not adequately protected by a standard homeowner policy. Examples include jewelry, antiques, oriental carpets, art work, sports equipment, collectibles and firearms. Scheduling important possessions gives you adequate levels of protection, coverage against broader causes of loss and no deductible.
- Trip Cancellation InsuranceBusiness and personal trips can be cancelled (or delayed, which can be just as bad) for a variety of reasons: airline cancellations or delays, medical emergencies, evacuation, or an illness or death in the family. The costs of trip cancellation can be significant including forfeited deposits and penalties for cancelled hotel and travel reservations. Trip cancellation should be a consideration before undertaking any excursion.
- Wedding InsuranceWedding costs today quickly climb into the tens of thousands of dollars. Unforeseen events resulting in the postponement or cancellation of a wedding, and last minute replacement of service providers can leave you with $10,000 or $20,000 in expenses and no wedding memories to show for it. Wedding Insurance gives you the peace of mind of knowing that, if wedding plans go awry, your wedding investment can stay protected.

- Commercial Umbrella Insurance Commercial Umbrella Insurance is sometimes used interchangeably with Excess Liability Insurance. The two are really different; an umbrella insurance policy will 'reach down' to provide coverage in gaps between other business insurance policies while a true excess insurance policy is intended to provide extra limits of insurance on top of coverage provided by other business insurance policies that are in place.
- Contractors Bonds (Contractors Surety Bonds)There are several types of Surety Bonds for contractors: Bid Bonds, Performance Bonds, Payment Bonds, License Bonds and Supply Bonds are a few. In general, surety bonds assure a project owner that they can rely on contractor performance, ability to make payments to certain other parties (sub-contractors, e.g.), good faith bid submissions and so on. The issuer of sureties, usually an insurance company subsidiary, investigates the abilities of a contractor and, in the event of a valid claim, will make reimbursement for non-performance according to the terms of the surety.

- Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)This kind of insurance provides insurance against liability for, as the name implies, employment practices. Protection, which will vary from policy to policy, covers a broad range of claims or lawsuits that might be brought by current or former employees or employment candidates.

When a client or customer believes you have not conducted yourself according the standards of your profession or that you have been negligent in some way you can be sued.

Traditional work comp policies base premium down payments and installments on an estimate using old payroll data. At the end of the year, a time consuming audit will determine if an additional premium payment or a refund are due. Pay As You Go Work Comp does away with all the uncertainty, minimizes down payment... and does away with the year end audit. Pay As You Go Work Comp improves your business cash flow and saves you time.
