Do You Need Insurance for a Jet Ski or Personal Watercraft?

No, Ohio doesn’t require boat insurance by law. However, there are many reasons to protect your favorite water toys. For example, you may need proof of financial responsibility to register your equipment. Otherwise, you may end up paying for injuries and damages out of pocket if you cause an accident. At Ken Boldt Insurance Agency II Inc., we offer comprehensive boat/watercraft insurance to residents in and around Green, OH.

Four Reasons To Purchase Boat/Watercraft Insurance

Jet skis are fast and sometimes unpredictable, making them prone to accidents. Without insurance, you could be on the hook for medical bills and property damage after an accident. Here are four reasons you need full coverage before zooming across the local waterways on your personal watercraft. 

First, if you take out a loan to pay for your jet ski or other watercraft, your lender may require proof of insurance as a condition of the loan. Second, boat insurance pays for repairs needed after a collision or storm. Physical damage from lightning, theft, and other covered perils can cost a lot to repair. For the most severe damage, you may also need help salvaging your equipment. Our team can you choose the right policy options to handle the most common dangers to your vessel.

Third, you’ll need liability coverage whether you use your Jet Ski solo or plan to entertain friends on it. This coverage option handles situations where you may accidentally damage someone else’s watercraft or property. It often includes legal fees after an accident. Fourth, medical bills to pay for injuries sustained while on your Jet Ski can add up quickly. Having the right insurance will help cover expenses that exceed your deductible. 

Contact the team at Ken Boldt Insurance Agency II, Inc. to meet with an agent about boat/water insurance. We’re happy to review your current boat insurance policy and make suggestions to enhance your coverage so you can enjoy the serene waterways near Green, OH, with peace of mind. 

Umbrella Insurance: Coverage for Situations Your Standard Policy Doesn’t Handle

Your umbrella insurance coverage can help if you’re ever faced with a lawsuit. Review some scenarios where your umbrella coverage will be useful to you as a business owner.

Lengthy Legal Battles

A lengthy legal battle could put a financial strain on business operations. Being involved in a lawsuit requires proper legal counsel. If you cannot easily front the money to defend yourself in a lawsuit, having umbrella insurance could be beneficial.

Umbrella insurance is designed to provide protection during legal proceedings. An umbrella insurance policy provides extra coverage that your standard business insurance policy doesn’t. Once you have met your limit through your commercial policy, the coverage that the umbrella insurance provides will be activated.

Protection for Legal Responsibilities

You may be ordered to pay legal fees at the end of a court case. An umbrella insurance policy may provide protection that will keep out-of-pocket costs down.

Once you have exhausted the coverage your standard commercial insurance policy provides, the coverage from an umbrella insurance policy will come into play. And you’lll avoid being responsible for paying out large sums of money.
