Using cast iron cookware can be used inside, and out on the BBQ, but too many pieces can be less that kind with regards to the gas economy. All that is left to pack is food, clothing, recreational equipment and portable entertainment.  Two items often forgotten until needed are a sewing kit and hand-crank radio.

Long term living would tack on other items such as an iron and ironing board, and bringing along pets is another list.  

The most essential for RV living is to have proper insurance coverage, and Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. can help you there.

People purchase boats for different reasons. Some buy a boat to go fishing and others buy boats for recreational purposes. Whatever the reason, boats are expensive. The best thing that you can do when you purchase a boat is to purchase boat insurance as well. There are several reasons that a boat insurance policy is necessary.

Boat Protection

If your boat is stolen, if it is involved in an accident, or if its contents are damaged, your boat insurance will cover it. A boat is a very expensive investment, therefore, you will need insurance just in case something happens.

Insurance is Required in Some Areas

There are certain areas on the water where you would be required to have boat insurance. Many waterways require you to have boat insurance to pass through and many marinas require that you have insurance to keep your boat there or launch your boat from one of their docks.

Winter Months are Dangerous

Many people who keep their boats at a marina for the winter believe that there is no need to carry insurance during these months. This is not the case. Winter is the time when the most fires, thefts, and floods occur on boats. Also, most of the claims that are filed for vandalism are done so in the summer. It is important to keep your boat protected all year long.

Not All Boater Have Insurance

It is important to have boat insurance because many boaters don’t. If another boat collides with yours and they don’t have insurance, you will want to have your own insurance to cover the damage.

Avoid a Lawsuit

If you cause a boat accident and you don’t have insurance, you could be looking at a very expensive lawsuit. Between the damage to the other boat and any injuries to your passengers and the passengers on the other boat, you could end up owing a great deal of money if you aren’t insured.

There are all sorts of places you can go by motorcycle and it can be exciting to plan. You can choose to stay within the state of Georgia or go anywhere else in the country. In order to plan your road trip, there are a few things to consider.

Are you driving the whole time?

You don’t have to drive the entire time, so this is something to consider. They make various tow packages so you can drive to your destination and then jump onto your motorcycle. If you are concerned with a long distance trip or don’t want to put a lot of miles onto the bike, this may be a consideration.

Find a group.

There may be a local motorcycle group where you plan on going, whether it’s a national park, the Grand Canyon, or New England. Get in touch with them to see what advice they can give you. It may be a way to make new friends and have some people to ride with.

Get your bike serviced.

Allow time for your bike to go into the garage for servicing before you take off on your road trip. This can ensure your oil is changed and your filter is cleaned. Listen to the mechanic in terms of their recommendations to prepare for your trip.

Map it all out.

Don’t start your trip until you have mapped out everywhere you are going. Identify the roads you will take, the gas stations that are along the way, and where you plan on stopping each night. This will ensure you don’t run into problems once on your way, especially if you lose cell signal at any point, which could happen.

Imagine this: you are driving your commercial vehicle to your next project location, when suddenly the inclement weather becomes too intense. You lose control of your vehicle, sliding into the car in the lane next to you. No matter who is considered at fault, you are then expected to present your proof of auto insurance to the other driver. If your commercial vehicle does not have insurance, the situation becomes much more complicated.

Commercial Auto Insurance in California

In California, all commercial vehicles are required to have insurance, and the driver must be able to present proof of financial responsibility for accidents they are liable for. For passenger vehicles, a certain amount of liability insurance is required based on how many passengers the auto can hold. Overall, this type of insurance is much like personal auto insurance except that it is much more specialized.

The Consequences

One of the most likely consequences for uninsured vehicles in Georgiais a suspended registration. The Department of Motor Vehicles will be notified that your insurance policy has been cancelled or does not exist. If no replacement is submitted within 45 days or a driver has provided false evidence of insurance, vehicle registration is cancelled. Driving with suspended registration can result in citations, fines, and possibly vehicle impound.

If a driver of a company vehicle is involved in a collision, the company or driver may be held personally liable for all damages incurred. Driving without insurance is financially very risky.

Obtaining Commercial Auto Insurance

Finding the right commercial auto insurance can be as simple as visiting the website of the agency you want to work with. In Georgia, insurance rates for commercial vehicles are based on the type of vehicle and its weight. If you have questions about commercial auto insurance, speaking with a licensed insurance broker at  Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. may be helpful.

 

Though earthquakes in Georgia are relatively rare, they do occur.  Even without distinct active faults, the Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences cites that about 15 percent of the earthquakes that occur happen in areas like Georgia.  Homeowners face significant damage to their property during an earthquake.  The northwest, central and west central counties of Georgia are considered to be areas of greatest risk. 

Before disaster strikes, homeowners can protect their home and property with earthquake insurance.  Insurance can’t prevent the disaster from happening but it can help significantly with the recovery process.  The key is to discuss whether earthquake insurance is right for your situation.  Your agent at Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. serving Woodstock, GA can talk with you about the variety of options that are available.   In addition to reviewing insurance options, homeowners should take the time to inventory and photograph their property and belongings.  This can save time and ensure proper documentation should the unthinkable occur. 

If your home is damaged during an earthquake, be sure to file a claim quickly with the necessary documentation and photographs.  Some policies will provide additional living expenses for policy holders whose home is significantly damaged and deemed uninhabitable. Your agent will discuss what the earthquake policy covers and what levels of coverage are appropriate for your circumstances.

When it comes to insurance coverage there are certain factors that make updating your policy necessary. That being said, many people are not sure what factors make updating necessary and when or how they should update their policy. Here are some tips to help you determine if you need to update your policy or if your current coverage is sufficient.

Age and marital status are both big indicators that your policy may need to change. When you reach te age of 25 most companies will offer a discount because you are no longer considered a high risk customer. Likewise, marriage also makes you less of a risk. Having children, buying a home, or updating or changing cars may also indicate a need to change coverage.

Another factor that may indicate that you need to update coverage are any claims that are made on the policy. If you had more claims than anticipated you may need more coverage, less claims may indicate that you can have lesser coverage.

In most cases, it is helpful to have an insurance agent on hand to talk you through the changes that may affect what kind of coverage you need, what policy you need, and what changes are being made to your policy. As a rule of thumb, reassessing your coverage every year is a great way to stay on top of coverage and to make sure you are going to have the right coverage each and every time.

Your insurance is important and having the right coverage, the most current information, and knowing what you need to know about your policy can make a huge difference. Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. wants to help you get the coverage you need. Call today to update or change your current policy.
