You work hard every day to manage your business and keep it afloat. You protect it to the best of your ability believing that you have your bases covered. Then, nature strikes and you are devastated to find that you were wrong. Too late you discover that you do not have the necessary coverage for natural disasters, and you are stuck wondering what to do now.

Unfortunately, about half of small businesses hit with a natural disaster do not bounce back, leaving a dream to go down the drain. Here at Peter Laczko Insurance Inc., we do not want to see our friends in Woodstock, GA fail, so we want to help you understand commercial insurance and what you can expect it to cover. All businesses are different to some degree: they have different products, services, equipment, property, and more.

Commercial policies are as unique as the businesses they cover. There is really no one-size-fits-all answer, so we will start with some general information. A typical commercial policy covers the owners and employees. It also covers the property from damage due to crime, falling objects, lightning, wind, some storm activity, and fire.

Most basic policies do not cover acts of nature, though a wildfire will likely be covered. Damage caused by floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornados are usually only covered if additional coverage is added to the original policy. 

If you currently have commercial insurance, take a look at your policy to know your exact coverage. For those in the Woodstock, GA area, Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. will be happy to help you understand the current policy coverage you have. If there are any gaps that need to be filled, we will be happy to find the additional coverage you need. Give us a call or stop by our office for your no-obligation quote.

 

Want to have some fun? Watch the vintage comedy movie Caddy Shack and enjoy the hilarious antics of Rodney Dangerfield who has a tricked-out golf bag on wheels that is the envy of all. If Rodney was alive now, he would love the amazing golf carts that are now available.

Customized Golf Carts

Interested in solar-powered battery recharging? That’s a green idea. Want to have a wet bar? No problem. A grill to make hamburgers? That’s easy. How about air-conditioning? Wow, that sounds cool, both in style and in temperature. These things and more are now in fashion when it comes to golf carts.

Golf Cart Insurance

If you are making an investment in such an expensive, customized golf cart, be sure to protect it with adequate insurance. Work with the specialists at Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. serving Woodstock, GA and the nearby communities.

Be sure to discuss with your agent where the golf cart will be stored and whether there is a benefit for installing an anti-theft device on the golf cart. Also, it is a good idea to have replacement cost coverage rather than just insuring the actual value.

With replacement cost coverage, you can get a new golf cart that is the same or similar to replace one that is completely damaged or stolen. In that way, your golf game is not interrupted by needing to pay more money to buy a new golf cart. Without replacement cost coverage, you may only get what the old one was worth if you sold it.

Remember, with golf, it is not so much how well you play as you keep practicing. It certainly does not hurt to always have a cool drink available in your golf cart’s refrigerator when desired.

If you love to drive your ATV all over the scenic hills and valleys of Woodstock, GA, then you probably want to protect the investment you’ve made. ATV insurance covers all-terrain vehicles to give owners peace of mind while they’re covering the ground with other weekend warriors. Whether your ATV has three, four or six wheels, you can find the coverage you need through the knowledgeable agents at Peter Laczko Insurance Inc.

Types of Coverage

Protect your ATV against vandalism, accident or theft as well as uninsured motorists, collisions and other perils.

Uninsured Motorist Insurance

Uninsured motorist insurance safeguards an ATV driver in case of an accident. Medical expenses are usually covered by the driver that caused the accident. However, not all ATV enthusiasts maintain their insurance. If you have uninsured motorists coverage, it will pay for your medical expenses if the at-fault driver has insufficient insurance.

Bodily Injury

Bodily injury and property damage take care of expenses related to an accident you cause. For example, if you inadvertently run through a yield sign on a trail, another rider might be hurt. In this case, your bodily injury insurance would pay for his or her medical expenses. This protects you from large financial losses.

Collision

Collision insurance takes care of expenses related to repairing your ATV in the event of an accident. If you run into a tree or collide with another ATV, your vehicle can be severely damaged. Incidental damage, such as minor scratches, usually isn’t covered nor is normal wear and tear. 

Comprehensive

Comprehensive ATV insurance protects you from many types of damage. This includes fire, vandalism, and flooding.

Your agent at Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. can walk you through ATV and other insurance options. Call today to make an appointment at our Woodstock, GA location.

At Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. serving Woodstock, GA, we’re here to help RV owners get ready for the warm months ahead. Follow these tips to make sure your RV is ready for June, July, and August. 

– Check your tires. Make sure the tread isn’t worn out, and the PSI is not too high or too low. Make sure that you have a good spare stored in your RV.

– Check the appliances inside your RV. If it’s been a few months since you’ve used the commodities inside your vehicle, you’ll want to double check that everything is in working order. It’s easier to make a repair at home than it is once you get to a campsite. 

– Get a maintenance check. Have a mechanic do a quick check under the hood of your RV. Just like you get your car serviced prior to cold weather, it’s a good idea to have your RV looked at before you take off on your summer trip.

At Peter Laczko Insurance Inc., we know that getting out in the great outdoors is a wonderful way to spend with your family. However, there are a few things you need to do to ensure everyone has a safe time. Here are three tips for prepping your Woodstock, GA boat for summer fun.

Tip #1: Have a Professional Check the Motor and Equipment

One of the easiest ways to prep your boat for summer fun is by doing a bit of routine maintenance. If you aren’t familiar with watercraft, have a professional check the motor and equipment to determine if everything is in proper order. Also, check any trailer tires for cracks or leaks, especially if they’ve been sitting in the sun during the off-season.

Tip #2: Pack Life Jackets for Everyone (and Make Sure They Fit Appropriately)

It’s also vital to pack life jackets for everyone who plans to be on board the boat, plus a few extras for any additional guests that might show up. If you are bringing children along for the trip, double check to make sure their old flotation devices still fit appropriately. Doing this is more than just a good idea—it could save a life.

Tip #3: Purchase Adequate Boat Insurance

Another tip is to purchase adequate boat insurance. While there’s no explicit requirement for insuring your watercraft, it is a good idea to at least carry some form of liability coverage. That way if there’s an accident during your day of fun, you can protect yourself against the potential for a costly lawsuit.

With summer vacation on the horizon, campgrounds are being booked with reservations and RVs are being prepared. For many families in and around the Woodstock, GA, RVs and campgrounds will consume their summer vacation. If this sounds like your family vacation, it may be time to contact Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. for RV insurance to protect your family and belonging this summer in the campground. While RV insurance is not required in Georgia, it is highly recommended and a necessary layer of protection for investments. 

Comprehensive Coverage

RV insurance covers your camper while you are both driving down the road and also while you are parked in the campground and using your RV for lodging. A standard auto policy will not cover any damages that occur during lodging use, which is why RV insurance is so essential to families spending their vacations in a campground. Should accidents, theft, or tragedy strike your RV while you are camping, coverage is available for repairs or replacements of personal property within the RV, as well as the RV. 

Cover Your Toys

If you are looking to carry other types of recreational vehicles on your camping vacation such as ATVs, golf carts, or Jet skis, add them to your policy so that they are covered, as well. Like your RV camper, these vehicles are at risk for the same types of damages while lodged in the campground.
