We are the Personal Lines Department because we understand that your valuable possessions are very personal and unique to you. Your insurance coverage should be too, and that’s what we provide, a personal insurance program. Our programs start with listening, to assure we understand your specific needs. With a broad range of insurance carriers available to us, we can design a comprehensive program efficiently customized to your situation.
You've just moved all your valuable possessions into your new rental home or apartment. Time to settle down and enjoy your new home. Not quite. Don't get too comfortable until you've covered your property from loss and protected yourself from liability claims. Your landlord's insurance doesn't cover you and your personal property. We can cover you with renters insurance and we can help you even more with affordable options when you combine renters insurance with an auto policy.
Risk and uncertainty is an inherent part of life. Health and life insurance is there to help us manage whatever life brings. Our wide range of available plans can provide individuals and families access to affordable, quality health care coverage and financial protection. It doesn't have to be complicated. We work hard to stay ahead of the fast-changing health and life insurance market and can put our knowledge to work for you in securing the right plan at the right cost. One of the most dynamic changes in health care regulation has been the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We have the knowledge and tools to help you understand if and how this new law could help you. Give us a call to start turning some of life's uncertainties into peace of mind.
Health Insurance
If you are an individual, family or sole proprietor and do not have access to employer-sponsored health insurance, the Schwendeman Agency can help. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), qualified individuals are able to obtain health insurance through public Exchanges (also known as Health Insurance Marketplaces). Within the Exchange, consumers can price and compare available private health insurance plans to determine what plans, if any, meet their needs. Eligible individuals may also qualify for premium tax credits or subsidies to help offset the cost of insurance when enrolling in an Exchange plan. We offer individual and family health insurance through leading carriers in the Ohio and West Virginia markets. And, we know how to assess the wide range of options to assure you get the plan that best fits your specific needs.
Disability Insurance
We believe the first step in finding a solution is to identify and understand the problem or challenge. We start with a discovery process to help clients articulate a goal and insightfully understand the challenges and opportunities in achieving it. Whether it is planning for business retirement, business key person life and disability insurance, succession for the business, or individual financial and estate planning, our team at the Schwendeman Agency has the knowledge and experience to help guide you through the process. Often we are the ones "quarterbacking" the planning with various other key advisors, such as CPA's and attorneys working to build plans that are comprehensive and customized.
Long Term Care
While the population over 80 will be the fastest growing segment of the population for the next 40 years, life expectancy is going up. More and more people are living longer and entering an age when they may need care. Combine this demographic trend with the increasing cost of care and you can see why long-term care insurance is an important consideration.
You don't have to look far at most any company's advertising to see or hear that "the company's most important assets are our people." And nothing else could be truer. Protecting the people so critical to your business should be a fundamental part of any business insurance plan. We have a broad range of plans that can help you protect your most important assets.
Workers Compensation Insurance
Workers compensation provides payments to injured workers, without regard to fault in the accident, for time lost from work, medical rehabilitation, and death benefits. It protects you, the employer, as well as the financial well-being of your employee. Licensed in multiple states across the country, the Schwendeman Agency can help you not only in securing coverage but also in implementing safety and loss control programs and procedures.
Professional Liability Insurance
Error or omission claims can be devastating to businesses. The cost to defend allegations alone can be substantial and occurs regardless of the judgment. Whether your business is for-profit or not-for-profit, we can assure you’re covered.
The big question about retirement is, will I have enough income to maintain my lifestyle through retirement. Everyone has a different risk tolerance, time horizon and specific goals. Variable annuities may be an important part of your portfolio. With a range of options available, representatives at the Schwendeman Agency can help match your specific situation.
Liability Insurance
In today's world you could quickly find yourself responsible for very extensive damage claims or involved in very expensive litigation. A serious auto accident with expensive medical bills, an accident on your property, a vacation incident, or an event that you can't imagine. An umbrella policy provides additional coverage when claims over injuries or property damage exceed the liability limits on your home or auto policies. It is an added layer of protection for your assets and your peace of mind. And, it is surprisingly affordable.
Flood insurance has recently been a topic of much discussion, if not confusion. With changes to the National Flood Insurance Program, many property owners are finding themselves in a difficult position. Let us help you navigate through these changes to secure coverage appropriate for your situation.
