Combining Home & Auto Insurance | Bogle Agency Insurance

For the most part, combining home & auto insurance with Bogle saves you money. Who doesn’t want to save money? The reality is that bundling insurance products can be a great idea. However, having knowledge of your policy matters. Not all products are created equal and understanding the differences between products is important. Advice from an experienced Bergen County insurance agent can help ensure that you save money on your auto and homeowners Policy.

Bundling Insurance Policies Can Cost More Than It Saves?

Bundling auto and home insurance policies offers an opportunity to save money, except for when it doesn’t. Your NJ insurance agent understands this caveat and will recommend bundling when it makes sense for you, your family, or your business. There are times when bundling can become more expensive and separate policies with separate companies becomes the better choice. However, these are all factors that an insurance agent can piece together to save you the most money on your policies!

Combining Home & Auto insurance? Make Sure Coverage Meets Your Needs

When it comes to insurance for home and auto, coverage matters. Oftentimes price and coverage are not necessarily complimentary. In other words, a low price might mean less coverage or inadequate coverage. The cost savings for bundling your NJ home and auto insurance policies should not reduce the quality of your coverage. Working with an insurance agent can make sure that your newly bundled policies not only save you money but also provides you with the right amount of coverage for your needs.

Health Insurance Shopping Tips

Posted by B3X2lG9n0X3 on

Shopping For NJ Health Insurance

What to Consider When Shopping for An NJ Health Insurance Policy

 

When shopping for an NJ health insurance policy there are a few things to consider that will make your search smoother and more productive! The goal is to acquire coverage that not only covers you where needed but also save you the most money! Your Lyndhurst NJ insurance agent at Bogle Agency Insurance will be an invaluable resource to help you locate the right plan for you and your family or for your business.

 

Questions You Should Ask To Find The Right New Jersey Health Insurance Plan

 

  • When should I look for a new health insurance plan?

Preferably before your current plan expires. The open enrollment period is the time to evaluate your options. And, it is important to not wait until this open enrollment period is up. The more time you have to research and see what’s out there the more options you will have. Waiting until the last minute can leave you with fewer options. That being said, many people get stuck between jobs or finding themselves without coverage at the last minute.

 

  • Will I be able to keep my current doctor(s)?

If the doctor or medical group that you use matters to you then you should make sure you can continue your routine. Every health insurance plan is different and covers different physicians. Make sure the one you choose has your families physicians on the list of approved doctors!

 

  • I already have health insurance, so I don’t need to look at new plans, right?

Insurance plans change over time and being aware of your options is critical to ensuring that you have solid coverage and the best bang for your buck! You may assume you will stay with your current plan and as it comes time to renew parts of that policy change. Making sure you have the coverage you need is important and surveying the competition helps ensure this.

 

  • Will I be fined for not having health Insurance? Do I have to shop in the Affordable Care Marketplace?

You do not have to get your New Jersey health insurance through the government exchange. However, you do need insurance that meets the standard set by the Affordable Care Act. While portions of the Affordable Care Act have been repealed, the tax fine is still a factor to consider in 2018. This means you will face fines if you do not have health insurance, up to 2.5% of your income!

IIABA Best Practices Award Bogle Agency Insurance
Bogle Agency Insurance, Commercial, Personal, Health & Life insurance products

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.

Personal Umbrella Insurance Starts Where Primary Leaves Off

Personal Umbrella Insurance Starts Where Primary Leaves Off | Bogle
Bogle Agency Insurance, your NJ insurance experts

Personal umbrella insurance starts where your primary insurance leaves off. Insurance products are often limited, including homeowners insurance, auto insurance, and health insurance to name a few. While these products offer the coverage you need, Umbrella insurance can help you cover the unexpected. It is available to step in when your insurance doesn’t cover the full amount of a settlement.  Your Lyndhurst NJ insurance agent is here to evaluate your individual needs and ensure a policy is drafted to deliver the coverage you require.

How Does Personal Umbrella Insurance Work?

Umbrella Insurance is exactly what it sounds like. It is a policy that covers you above your other policies. By having Umbrella Insurance, you are ensuring that, in the event of an unexpected lawsuit, you are covered completely. For instance, if an unfortunate event occurs at your home and results in your family being sued $2 million, but your homeowner’s insurance only covers up to $1 Million you’d be left to cover the difference. This could result in losing your home, cars and much more. However, If you’re covered by Personal Umbrella insurance, the policy would step in and cover that additional $1 Million, leaving you and your family safe from financial disaster.

What Does Personal Umbrella Insurance Cover?

A New Jersey umbrella insurance policy provides additional coverage on top of your homeowner’s policy, your auto policy, or your boat insurance policy. This is extremely helpful should you be sued for amounts above the limit provided by your general policies. Umbrella insurance, however, is not a requirement. But, it is certainly recommended for anyone with significant assets or savings.

In addition to extra coverage for your primary insurance policies, umbrella insurance will cover liabilities incurred by activities in which you partake outside of what your general liability insurance covers. This can include coaching, volunteering, playing sports, and even serving on the board of a non-profit.  Umbrella insurance covers the unforeseen and offers peace of mind in unusual circumstances.

NJ Business/Commercial Insurance, Types of Coverage Needed

Posted by B3X2lG9n0X3 on

NJ Commercial Insurance | Types of Insurance Coverage Needed For Businesses

Nj commercial insurance
Bogle Agency Insurance, coverage for your home and business

NJ commercial insurance requires different types of coverage to ensure success and to cover your assets. Types of business insurance coverage include Workers Comp, Employer Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI), General Liability, Business Automobile, and Commercial Umbrella. Of course, different sized organizations need different sized policies and coverage. Choosing the right insurance policies for your business should be a number one priority!

Understanding What Your Business Needs Is Essential

It is helpful for NJ business owners to understand the different types of commercial coverage needed. Below is a basic rundown of the different policies that may be needed for your business.

  • Workers Compensation Insurance covers an employee when he/she is injured on the job. This policy also protects an employer from being sued by the injured employee. Even companies with low risk of injury are required to hold NJ workers comp insurance. And there is a reason for that, even low-risk positions could result in unexpected injury, so it is best
  • Employer Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) is coverage for the employer. There is a lot of risks involved with employing people and EPLI keeps a business covered. Of course, understanding policies and procedures as well as having excellent record keeping can help lower costs for EPLI.
  • General Liability Insurance covers a business for the unexpected, whether its a slip and fall on the premises or property damage incurred. Liability insurance protects not only assets, but also the company itself from potential lawsuits or even having to pay out damages.
  • Business Automobile Insurance covers your vehicles and your employees driving the vehicles. This is essential coverage for any business that owns vehicles of any type. Traditional vehicle insurance does not typically cover vehicles used in a business setting or manner. So, it is important to make sure your vehicle is covered for commercial use!
  • Commercial Umbrella policies cover additional liabilities resulting from lawsuits or other damage. This is an extra layer of insurance designed to protect a company’s assets in the event of an unexpected situation that regular insurance may not cover. Commercial umbrella insurance is a great way to avoid the stress of wondering if your regular business insurance is enough coverage.

Because each business is different, commercial insurance policies are not one size fits all. In addition to the commercial insurance policies listed above, there are other policies you may desire, such as cyber insurance.  The size of your company, the type of business you are running, as well as your property and equipment owned all contribute to the type of business insurance you need. Your Lyndhurst NJ insurance agent at Bogle Agency Insurance will be extremely helpful in ensuring that your company’s insurance needs are met and your assets are covered
