Loudoun Insurance – Do not float your Boat – Until You know you're protected
Here is an article of great summer and timely information on insurance boat from South Riding / insurance agent in Loudoun over Allstate, Khalid Umerani … probably not relevant to our fleet, "" pathetic canoes and rowboats, but certainly applicable to all residents of Northern Virginia to keep your "real" boats on Annapolis, Solomon Island / PAX River, Ocean City and more locally, near Alexandria, Occoquan or Lake Anna.
Americans like to drink the water, providing a sense of freedom and a sense of adventure (and perhaps a crab or two!). However, navigation can have a dark side. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, there were 5,191 Boating accidents reported in 2007 and Fairfax County and Loudoun, boat owners are not immune. However, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. The Coast Guard believes that more 80 percent of all traffic accidents are not reported.
Given the level of accident risk, then it would expect the owners of the boat looking for a way to protect yourself, but that does not seem to be the case. A study by Progressive Insurance found that 29 percent of U.S. boat owners not boat has a separate policy. That's probably why boat owners assume that their work is covered by its policy of staff or their own homes. This is a mistake that can cost a great time.
The standard auto policy cover the liability of the ship towing the option to add coverage physical damage. The boat itself, however, is not covered for liability or damages.
Some policies offer cover to owner injury the boats, but only for smaller vessels. A typical homeowner's policy in / Chantilly South Riding areas contains a limit of 1,500 special property dollars to ship that does not begin with the dollar equivalent of most ships (except, perhaps, some aging canoes, kayaks or sunfish!). Besides addition, claims covered particular ship are also very restricted.
There are also liability coverage for boats in under more homeowners policies, but again, only applies to small craft. The only exception is a boat with outboard motor. This means that any type of boat you own that is powered by an outboard or the inner edge is excluded from liability coverage under the policy owner.
Because the owners of most boats are aware of how big the loss of property and liability, are set not have adequate insurance, the Office of Institutional Risk Management (Irmi) has created a list loss scenarios that demonstrate the need for coverage of owners of specialized vessels:
· Collide your cruise with a boat whose driver failed to yield right of way, causing extensive damage to his ship. The boat owner has no insurance coverage.
• A fishing boat guys you just bought is stolen from his house.
His ship · 27 meters length is damaged by a major hailstorm while docked at the marina.
• The sport fishing boat is struck by lightning, disabling your electrical system.
Ski · his friend, the son of the water behind his boat and fell into the lake, injuring himself due to excessive speed of the boat.
• You neglect to cancel because of another vessel to avoid a collision.
• Your outboard motor explodes, seriously injuring his neighbor.
