Owning a car can be costly over the course of a year. Few of us would be game to sit down and add it up! The purchase price of your vehicle is quickly forgotten about but the cost of gas and basic services goes on and can add up to a hefty amount over the year. When you include the insurance coverage in your calculations you might begin to wonder whether you can afford to run a vehicle at all. To reduce your costs you really need to tack it from every angle. Shop around for quotes when repairing or servicing your vehicle and make a mental note of the gas stations that seem to regularly offer cheaper gas. Shopping around for auto insurance is also a good idea but it's equally important to compare the level of coverage you will receive and ensure the policy is suitable for your circumstances.
Shopping around has never been easier thanks to the Internet. When it comes to auto insurance, we can provide you with an online quote and product information so you can compare us to our competitors. Our policies range from minimum liability to comprehensive. Our customer service assistants can even help you to decide on a level of coverage that will be cost effective and tailored to your circumstances - so you won't pay for more insurance than you need.

Insurance is supposed to make people feel warm and fuzzy about the future, right? Insurance provides that peace of mind we all need if something happens to yourself or someone in your family, as insurance will kick in and make things better. If you’re in an accident and your family car is out of commission, auto coverage will help you get it up and running. If your youngest child suffers chronically from an infectious disease paralyzing his ability to live normally, health insurance will ease the financial burden of doctor’s visits. And if you are to unexpectedly pass away, leaving behind a mountain of debt and a family in need of monetary support, life insurance will be there to help relieve their pain.
The economic meltdown that the US is currently dealing with is a threat to the peace of mind insurance offers us. Folks are now beginning to question the stability of the insurance companies and whether or not they are more interested in helping or hurting us. Also, if you do need to file a claim, will the insurance company actually pay it, like they should.
Elliott Insurance Group is dedicated to providing its clients with top insurance coverage. We will provide you with products that are affordable and reliable. We will develop a person, trusting relationship with you so you can feel comfortable knowing you are receiving the highest quality experience. Contact us today!
A crummy economy, high gas prices, and routine automotive maintenance make owning a car difficult. Many folks are pinching pennies and looking for ways to save because of our country’s current financial depression. There are three major life-changers that may lend a helping hand to your quest for money-savings. Elliott Insurance Group has mentioned how you can save money with these three big life-changers.
Getting married. You might think that marriage is only a money spender. Well in most instances it is; the wedding itself, buying a home, starting a family, etc. But don’t neglect your auto insurance after you tie the knot. You and your spouse will probably be eligible for discounts on your insurance policy. Because you and your spouse will most likely put your cars on one policy, the insurance carrier may offer you a significant discount.
Getting divorced. Divorce is never a fun time for anybody. Whether it’s an amicable split or a disagreeable, divorce is an unfortunate event. And to make matters worse, your auto insurance is probably going to rise. But the good news is it’s a perfect time to evaluate your insurance rates and find an agency that will provide you with an even better rate. There are a lot of insurers out there. Take advantage of it. Shop around.
Retirement. Most retirees do not have the same needs as they once did and are spending a lot less time in the car and on the road. Also, many retirees decide to downsize to one vehicle because having multiple cars is just not necessary. Notify your insurance carrier when you retire and they can help you lessen your Connecticut auto insurance costs.
If you have any life changes that will affect your auto insurance rates, contact Elliott Insurance Group today. We will provide you with a policy that is affordable and reliable.
Ever since I got my driver’s license, I have had a fear of the senior citizens on the road; the small in stature, slower moving white-haired folks who go about their business, not bothering anybody. Many people, and I am guilty of this as well, assume that they are off in their own little world oblivious to the goings-on around them. But in actuality, it’s not the seniors of the world that we have to fear. In fact they give us little to sneer at when it comes to their driving skills. We should, however, be worried about the younger drivers and the reckless habits they often practice, specifically young males.
Young drivers are plagued by an attitude of invincibility. This, frankly, is scary. The accidents and related death statistics are frightening and need to be addressed as soon as possible. Teenagers, unfortunately, are overly confident behind the wheel and drive recklessly as a result. What they don’t know is that driving skills are acquired through age and experience (as many things are). Older drivers do have limitations that inhibit their abilities to drive safely, however, they are more aware and mature in dealing with these limitations.
Elliott Insurance encourages young drivers and parents with teenagers, to do everything possible to avoid accidents and auto insurance claims. Most accidents caused by young drivers are avoidable by simply following the rules of the road, of which they are aware. So when you’re hitting the road, be more aware of the new drivers instead of the old ones.

homeowners insurance is the financial protection of your home structure and your possessions in it from natural disasters. A homeowners policy generally covers your home and the liability and legal responsibility you assume when an injury occurs on your property.
Are there different types of coverage offered?
Yes. Insuring a home is different than insuring a condo or a rented property. Also, coverage varies completely by how much you want to buy. For example, some policies offer fire protection of your home under the homeowners insurance policy while many do not. Some disasters are covered, some aren’t. The type of homeowners coverage you want will be up to you.
Can you own a home without purchasing home insurance?
Yes. It’s not like buying a car, but it is not recommended. If you use a lender, which most do, they will require you to have a homeowners plan. If you don’t, you are chancing your biggest asset to life’s disasters.
What factors affect home insurance policies?
Age of house, type of construction, location, location, location. If you are far from a fire hydrant or a fire department, your home will be more expensive to insure. If you are in a tornado alley, a windstorm or hurricane zone, or surrounded by flammable brush, your home will cost more to insure.
How can you save on homeowners insurance?
Raise deductibles
Combine policies, such as home and auto with same insurer
Make your home disaster resistant
Make your home safer with alarm systems and motion detectors
Seek discounts you qualify for
Maintain a good credit score

If you’re like me, visiting a doctor is not a pleasant experience, no matter how benign your reason for going. We all fear bad news from our doctors about our health or any unexpected issues that may be present within our bodies. Nobody wants to hear news that you have an infectious disease or a malignant tumor.
All too often, working people, with a health insurance plan, receive the horrible news that they are sick. They fear for their lives and hope that their health insurance policies will cover them throughout their recovery process. But unfortunately, many Health Insurance Plans do not cover all types of medical procedures and treatments. For example, if you are a cancer victim relying on your health policy to cover you in your recovery, it may not include radiation treatments or another necessary aspect of cancer survival. It is vital that you research and analyze the products you purchase to make sure you have the coverage you need.
Elliott Insurance Group is here to help you choose a health policy that you can feel comfortable with. We will guide you through the process of finding you comprehensive health policies at prices that will not break your bank account. Do not let an insurance plan fail you in the event of a health crisis.

Every business is vulnerable to employment liability. Today, people sue at the drop of a hat, and they'll take any excuse they can. People get offended at things that aren't even happening and want to be compensated for it. Or what if something really does happen? You certainly can't control everything your employees do or say. What if your hiring manager discriminates against someone and that person files a claim? Either way - whether there is a real incident or not - protecting yourself with employment practices liability is vital to your business and could save you thousands.
Most of the time, people file claims for discrimination against race, gender, disability, pregnancy, and age, as well as sexual harassment. A few things that could cause an angry employee to sue:
A woman who has taken a pregnancy leave returns to her job, only to find that her position has been given away or is no longer needed.
A middle-aged employee is terminated after 25 years of service when his position is taken over by a computer.
A female employee is up for a promotion along with a male. The male gets the promotion, causing the female to file a claim for gender discrimination.
An employee is fired for poor performance, but files a claim because they believe they were fired due to an illness.
A would-be employee is not hired and files a claim because they believe they were discriminated against because of their race.
Don't risk losing thousands. As said before, people will take an opportunity to sue. For more information on employment practices liability, contact us today! We're Elliott Insurance, an independent agency based in Plantsville, Connecticut.
Many companies these days are realizing how imperative it is to have additional business coverage for mistakes made by their staff. Everyone has heard of Directors & Officers insurance and Errors & Omissions insurance. But what exactly is the difference between the two types of insurance?
• Directors & Officers. This type of insurance covers negligent acts, omissions, or untrue statements committed by directors and officers which result in lawsuits. It reimburses the company when it indemnifies its directors and officers.
• Errors & Omissions. E&O protects people who give advice, make educated recommendations, design solutions, or represent the needs of others for a profit. It protects these people when they make a mistake or neglect to do something they should have done.
Insurance carriers often offer to include both of these in a BOP (business owners policy). It’s very important to your company to decide if you need protection against human error – which will happen eventually. Everyone makes mistakes; only some are much more serious than others.
With Directors & Officers Insurance, you’re protecting a huge chunk of your company. To find out more about Directors and Officers insurance, contact us today. We’re Elliott Insurance, an independent agency based in Plantsville, Connecticut.
