Bogle Agency Insurance has been awarded the IIABA Best Practices status for the 15th year in a row! This accolade is in keeping with our firm’s mission to provide excellent service while following the best practices laid out by the insurance industry. Garnering the Best Practices Status places Bogle Agency Insurance in an elite group of independent insurance agencies around the United States. “Best Practices” designation comes by participating in the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) Best Practices Study group. This is an annual survey and study of leading independent insurance agencies, documenting the business practices of the “best” agencies. In addition, the results are shared with independent insurance agencies around the nation, urging others to adopt similar practices.

Since 1993, IIABA and Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management consulting firm, have joined forces to study the country’s leading agencies in six revenue categories. The agencies in the study groups are selected every third year through a comprehensive nomination and qualifying process and awarded a “Best Practices Agency” designation. Those agencies included in the study were nominated by either an IIABA affiliated state association or by an insurance company. After the nomination, those designated as a “Best Practices Agency” are then qualified based on operational excellence.

Best Practices is a three-year cycle

The selected Best Practices agencies retain their status during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data to be reviewed each year. This is the third year of the current three-year study cycle. Over 1,500 independent agencies throughout the United States were nominated to take part in the annual study in the first year of this three year cycle, 2016, but only 262 agencies qualified for the honor. To be chosen, the agency had to be among the 35-45 top-performing agencies in one of six revenue categories.

Our company, Bogle Agency Insurance is honored to have received the Best Practices award for 15 consecutive years! Bogle Agency Insurance was founded in 1919 and offers Commercial, Personal, Health and Life insurance products from numerous companies. For further information please contact Philip R.

NJ Insurance, Hurricane Coverage and Claims

NJ Insurance, Hurricane Coverage and Claims

Hurricane Preparedness NJ Bogle Agency Insurance Hurricane Insurance

NJ insurance concerns often relate to hurricane coverage and claims. A hurricane is a weather event that none of us have control over. While many come and go leaving little more than a few branches in the yard and puddles in the driveway others can leave fallen trees and flooding in the basement. Regardless of what may or may not occur it is important to sit down with your Bergen County insurance agent to make sure you have the hurricane coverage you need.

A hurricane means torrential rains, often resulting in flooding; powerful winds that can bring down trees and blow away anything not tied down; and violent waves causing erosion and more. Most people think about hurricane damage occurring to homes. But it is important to realize that damage can occur to businesses as well. It is important that your NJ commercial insurance policy offers the coverage you need to give peace of mind when a hurricane hits.

Post hurricane tips for your business:

  • Make sure you can account for all employees who were at your facility during the storm.  If rescuers are needed call the appropriate emergency response group.
  • Be careful of flooded areas and be aware that the water may contain hazardous materials.
  • Do not drive through bodies of water.  A puddle may look like a puddle but could be far deeper than you realize.
  • Pools of water may have an electric charge so stay clear.
  • Have your building inspected by an engineer.  Wind damage could be more severe than you think.
  • Photograph all damage and make an appointment for an assessor to come out to survey the extent of damage.

Hurricanes are a fact of life when living near the coast. The aftermath can be shocking and costly. Understanding your homeowners insurance or your commercial insurance is essential. Sit down with your New Jersey insurance agent today and learn more about coverage and the claims procedure in the event of a hurricane.
