Renters Insurance

When you rent, it’s the personal touches you add that turn your place into a home.

Of course, those personal touches can sometimes be very costly to replace or fix if something were to happen to them.

Unlike many insurance companies, we offer coverage that will pay the full cost to repair or replace your personal belongings after a covered loss, without deduction for depreciation.

Umbrella Insurance

An accident can happen in a second, but the financial consequences can be lifelong.

If you are found liable for injuries or death resulting from an accident at your home or involving one of your vehicles, the impact to your family’s way of life could be devastating.

Referred to by other companies as an umbrella policy, a Personal Excess Liability Policy (PELP) can help bridge the gap between the basic liability coverage in:

  • any auto
  • home
  • boat
  • motorcycle
  • RV policies
  • a large lawsuit settlement

 Metlife Flood Insurance  Metlife Boat Insurance  Metlife Motorcycle Insurance

Flood Insurance

You don’t have to be located near water to be affected by a flood.
  • A flash flood caused by a large volume of rain in a short period of time can strike anywhere without warning.
  • And just a few inches of floodwater could cause thousands of dollars in damage.
  • Most homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage.

Metlife Flood insurance is part of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Boat Insurance

Before you head out onto the water with your powerboat, sailboat, jets or other watercraft, be sure you have the coverage you need to preserve your way of life if the unexpected happens.

You’ll find our boat insurance rates are affordable, and we offer discounts like our safety, diesel engine, and multi-policy discounts that could create significant savings for you.

Motorcycle Insurance

The relationship between a motorcycle owner and his or her bike is a special one.

We understand how important your bike is to you, so we want to help you protect it with motorcycle insurance that lets you ride with confidence knowing you’re protected by coverage with many valuable features.

Metlife RV Insurance Metlife Pet Insurance Metlife Small Business Insurance

RV Insurance

  • Do you enjoy vacationing in a motorhome?
  • Is your favorite “toy” an ATV or snowmobile?
  • Maybe you like spending your weekends and holidays on a motorcycle, dirt bike or scooter.

Recreational vehicles like these can be a lot of fun, but they come with some risks, too, like accidents, damages or theft. If you own an RV, please contact me for a no-obligation recreational vehicle insurance quote.

Pet Insurance

 

Whether you’re a cat owner, dog owner, or “pet parent,” you want the best pet health care possible.

Protecting your dog’s health or cat’s health can be difficult with high animal health care costs.

Pet insurance removes the financial burden of expensive diagnosis and treatment of your dog’s or cat’s illnesses and injuries off of your shoulders.

Small Business Insurance

As a small business owner, you’ve got a lot on your mind.

Everything from sales and growth to the welfare of your employees.

Insurance protection should not be on your list of concerns.

We can help remove that worry with MetLife Auto & Home Link℠ business insurance.

Link is dependable and hassle-free insurance that provides small businesses with big business protection.

The Texas Commercial Auto Filing Form MCS-90 is an endorsement that must be attached to Liability insurance and Cargo Liability insurance policies if you are required to have a federal filing in the State of Texas. The MCS-90 endorsement guarantees the minimum required protection for members of the public who are involved in accidents that you are legally responsible for.

The MCS-90 is not filed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The BMC-91 or BMC-91X filing is submitted to the FMCSA as certification that the MCS-90 endorsement has been issued.

Unified Carrier Registration Filings, the UCR (Uniform Carrier Registration) Plan replaced the SSR (Single State Registration System) September 2007. It simplified the payment of multiple state fees by allowing private motor carriers and for-hires, brokers, leasing companies and freight forwarders to submit their financial responsibility information and a registration fee to a single state.

Under the UCR Plan, motor carriers conducting interstate operations must be registered in a base state. Your base state is the state in which the largest number of your vehicles operate during the year.

If your base state is one of the participating states, you must register in that state. Exempt and private  who were not required to register under the SSR must register in a base state under the UCR Plan.

The registration fee paid to your base state will be shared between all the states in which you operate.

The UCR Plan does not affect a state’s regulation of intrastate trucking within that state, including its motor carrier financial responsibility laws for intrastate trucking.

Texas does participate in the UCR Plan.  If you are based in another state, states that participate in the UCR Plan can change over time. Call 1-888-806-9598 for help determining if your base state participates in the UCR Plan and to learn more about state truck filings.

If you need insurance with an MCS-90 filing, please contact our office at 512-339-2901 for more information, a quote or to purchase on insurance policy with the state filing.  We are local Texas Progressive agents, but also offer a variety of coverages with other preferred carriers, including business auto insurance, general liability insurance, cargo insurance, general business insurance and more.

Employment Practices Liability Insurance

What Is Employment Practices Liability Insurance, or EPLI?

Legislation  such as the Family Medical Leave Act and the Americans With Disabilities Act,  plus a growing number of job-related lawsuits and claims, have created the need  for business owners to consider a type of insurance known as employment  practices liability insurance, or EPLI. An EPLI policy offers insurance  protection against claims and lawsuits that are brought against a business, its  officers or directors, or its employees and managers. These policies generally  cover charges in the following areas:

  • Gender, age and other types of discrimination
  • Sexual harassment
  • Wrongful termination or discipline
  • Negligent compensation, promotion or hiring       decisions
  • Breach of contract for employment
  • Emotional distress or mental anguish
  • Invasion of privacy
  • Libel or slander
  • Employee benefits mismanagement

While some  directors’ and officers’ insurance policies contain employment practices  liability insurance coverage, such coverage can be limited to directors and  officers, and may have greater exclusions than a standalone EPLI policy.

How does employment practices  liability insurance protect your business?

All companies,  regardless of size, should look to their personnel policies as the first line  of defense against both the number and severity of employment-related claims.  EPLI coverage is another valuable tool in a comprehensive risk-management  arsenal.

EPLI policies  are written on a claims-made basis. This simply means that covered claims must  be reported to the insurance company while the policy is in effect, or within  an extended period specifically described in the policy. In addition, the event  leading to the claim must have occurred either on or after a specific date –  typically the date when the EPLI policy commenced. Some insurers offer extended  retroactive dates or full protection for earlier claims, but you should be sure  you understand these terms.

The cost of  EPLI coverage will vary based on the type, size and risk profile of your  business. The insurance company may also want to see your written personnel  policies to help them determine the risk and cost of your EPLI policy.

Following are  additional factors that affect the value and cost of EPLI coverage. It is  important to review these exclusions and coverage limitations when evaluating  your policy:

  • You can generally purchase EPLI coverage with limits ranging from  $1 million to $25 million.
  • Most employment practices liability insurance policies include a  deductible. In addition, the cost of legal defense is typically included in the  aggregate insurance limits, along with the costs of judgments and settlements.

Some EPLI policies contain exclusions that limit  coverage during events such as a major work force reduction, acquisition or  merger. Generally, criminal conduct is not covered by EPLI.

This is an ever increasing risk and exposure for business owners.

Call Austin Insurance Group today for a free insurance quote.  Our Hartford Business Owners Policies automatically include this coverage at $10,000, and you can get up to $1,000,000 limit.  Does your policy have it?
