- KSKarina SantosSep 4, 20255.0So grateful for this team. I'm a wedding photographer and insurance is my top 1 priority in my business. I'm also always in need of COI for work and the team has always been so efficient and fast even for last minute requests. I could not recommend them enough!
- SSStephen L (Steve)Sep 10, 20245.0Audrey stopped by our offices today - great marketer!
- FAFunki AdventuresOct 29, 20205.0We had a sudden flood in our home due to a leaking hot water cylinder. JP was on vacation when I called him, but he still took the time to help get a flood mitigation team into the house immediately, then followed up with a call later to ensure all was underway. Insurance agents/brokers don't always have the best reputation, however JP Hayes is very different from the stereotype. He works hard for his customers and we now have first-hand experience that when help is needed, he gets involved and doesn't just push all the difficult stuff over to the insurance admin people - he keeps his eye on everything (not all brokers/agents will do this). Additionally, he when it comes to coverage, he does not try to sell the flashiest, highest cost product. Instead, he is careful to match what we need, to what is provided. Highly recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions About JP Hayes Insurance Agency
What does homeowners insurance typically cover?
Homeowners insurance generally provides coverage for damage to your residence and personal possessions resulting from incidents such as fires, burglaries, severe weather, and acts of vandalism. Additionally, it often includes liability protection in case someone sustains an injury while on your property.
What is the difference between an HMO and a PPO plan?
An HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan typically restricts you to a specific network of healthcare providers and requires referrals for specialist visits. In contrast, a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan offers greater flexibility in choosing healthcare providers and usually doesn't require referrals for specialist consultations.
What does personal health insurance typically cover?
Personal health insurance plans generally cover a range of medical services including physician visits, hospital stays, preventive care, prescription medications, and emergency services. However, the specific coverage details can vary significantly between different plans, so it's crucial to carefully review your policy terms.
Does homeowners insurance cover my home-based business?
Standard homeowners insurance policies typically do not provide coverage for business-related equipment or liability associated with home-based businesses. To ensure proper protection, you may need to add an endorsement to your existing policy or purchase a separate business insurance policy.
Do I need workers' compensation insurance if I only have a few employees?
Workers' compensation insurance is generally required for businesses regardless of the number of employees. While regulations vary by state, most jurisdictions mandate coverage even for companies with just one employee. This insurance protects both employers and employees by covering work-related injuries or illnesses, including medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages.
What type of coverage do I need as a business owner?
As a business owner, essential insurance coverages typically include general liability, commercial property, and workers' compensation if you have employees. Depending on your industry, professional liability insurance may also be necessary. Many small businesses find a Business Owners Policy (BOP) beneficial as it combines key coverages at a competitive rate. We recommend scheduling a complimentary risk assessment with our agency to develop a tailored protection plan for your specific business needs.
What types of commercial insurance does your agency offer?
Our agency provides a comprehensive range of commercial insurance solutions to address diverse business needs. Our offerings include general liability insurance, Business Owners Policies (BOP), commercial auto insurance, workers' compensation insurance, commercial life insurance, and group health insurance. We are equipped to address various aspects of business protection through our extensive portfolio of insurance products.
