Personal Insurance Solutions Starts with LMBF

Personal lines insurance is any insurance coverage that protects the individual, not an organization or a business, from losses that come of loss of property or damages to property, as well as death and injury. Personal insurance is important for families and individuals who do not have the finances or do not wish to front the bill of a loss on their own. For many personal insurance products, coverage is necessary to do certain things - like drive a car or mortgage a house.

Personal Lines Insurance: Frequently Asked Questions

A: Personal insurance protects your personal assets and your family from financial loss. Whether that loss is due to an accident on the road or a several hundred-thousand dollar lawsuit, personal insurance can be the difference between going back to living life as per usual and having to pick up the pieces following a devastating loss.

A: In many cases, personal insurance is highly recommended even if it isn’t mandatory. Products like car insurance, however, are required by provincial law. Life insurance, as an example, is only necessary at a certain point in your lifetime - like when you first buy a house or welcome your first baby into the family. It can be confusing. If you have any questions, contact an LMBF personal insurance broker to discuss.

A: Depending on the product, personal insurance can cover a wide variety of exposures. It can cover personal property, your belongings, your liability, additional living expenses, high-value items, the cost of a replacement vehicle, and more. More than anything, it depends on the coverage options you choose. If you are unsure about what coverage options best suit your lifestyle, discuss with an LMBF personal insurance broker.

A: It depends on the provider how quickly your claim will be processed but rest assured - LMBF will do everything we can to ensure you receive your settlement as painlessly as possible. Receiving payment after submitting a claim can also take longer or shorter depending on what method you’re signed up for, i.e if you receive payments via cheque or direct deposit.

A: LMBF’s personal insurance brokers go above and beyond to help serve you better. Whether that’s helping you find a coverage plan best suited to your needs or reassuring you through the process of filing a claim, a broker is an insurance expert that works for you before any one insurance company. They will never pressure you into any purchase and their advice always comes from a place of your best interest.

A: Insurance premiums vary from product to product and from provider to provider. Generally, the more likely you are to make a claim, the higher your insurance premiums will be. As an example, a young male driver who has had multiple speeding tickets in the last three years who drives a high-performance vehicle will likely be seeing much higher average annual insurance costs. To keep your insurance premiums low, consider discussing with your broker. They may give you suggestions on multiple-policy discounts, deductibles, and maintenance tips for reducing your overall costs.
