Earthquake Insurance Provided By Our Agency

While you can't predict earthquakes, you can be prepared, which can make all the difference. Earthquake coverage is essential for protecting your finances in case your home, condo, or rental unit is damaged. Since standard homeowners, condo, or renters policies typically do not cover earthquake damage, it is crucial to secure coverage even if you don't reside in California or Hawaii.

Dwelling Coverage

Risk Factors

An earthquake can damage your home and the internal structure of your home. You must pay for repairs from your pocket if you don't have coverage.

Solution

This coverage accounts for the rebuild or repair cost of the home and other structures on the property in the event of earthquake damages.

Personal Property Coverage

Risk Factors

An earthquake can cause damage to your interior furniture & fixtures, and you are bound to pay for their replacement.

Solution

If your personal property, like furniture, electronics, or other valuables, is damaged in an earthquake, you are covered up to certain limits.

Additional Living Expenses Coverage

Risk Factors

While your house is under repair, you need another place to stay, like a hotel. If you don’t have enough coverage, you need to pay the accommodation expenses yourself.

Solution

This coverage pays additional living expense costs needed if you are required to live elsewhere temporarily due to earthquake damage to your home.

Cherished Salvage Coverage

Risk Factors

Your classic vehicle is totaled by a problem that’s covered by the policy (like a car accident or flood) and damages your vehicle.

Solution

With this coverage, you’ll have the right to keep the salvaged car and still get a pay-out from the car insurance company (minus your deductible).

Automotive tools coverage Coverage

Risk Factors

You take your classic car to the service station and they ask you to replace some damaged spare parts with the new ones.

Solution

This covers spare parts and personal tools used to maintain or restore your classic car. Some auto insurance companies might cover spare parts even if they are not intended for the vehicle on the policy.

What is Earthquake Insurance?

Earthquake insurance provides coverage for your home, personal belongings, and additional living costs in the event of an earthquake that forces you to relocate. Most ordinary insurance policies for renters and homeowners do not include earthquake coverage. Yet, you can add it as an endorsement to an existing homeowners policy or purchase it as a standalone policy.

What is Covered Under Earthquake Insurance?


Standard homeowners insurance policies generally don't cover earthquake or flood damage. That's why individuals purchase separate earthquake or flood insurance if they live in areas prone to such disasters. Earthquake insurance covers:

Damage to the home or any structures on the property caused by an earthquake

Earthquake-related damage to personal property

Additional living expenses if earthquake damage makes your home temporarily uninhabitable

Why is Earthquake Insurance Important?


Earthquake insurance is essential if you live in a high-risk area. While standard homeowners insurance does not include earthquake coverage, it must be purchased separately. States near fault lines, such as California, Alaska, and Oklahoma, are more susceptible to earthquakes. If you live near a fault line or in a high-risk area, it is wise to consider earthquake insurance.

We often don't anticipate the unthinkable until it happens. Insurance aims to prepare for unexpected events and reduce the financial impact of losses. There is no exception with earthquake insurance. Your homeowners' insurance coverage may be enhanced by an earthquake endorsement, which will shield you against catastrophic or modest losses brought on by an earthquake. For peace of mind, having earthquake insurance is crucial if you reside in a high- or moderate-risk area or close to an active fault line.

Already have Earthquake Insurance? Switching is easy

It might be time to switch insurers whenever the service that your existing insurer provides doesn’t meet your needs. For example, if you have a poor claims experience or an unexplained rate increase, it might be time to consider other options

If you cancel a previous policy before a new policy is effective, you could run into some serious financial problems.
