Straub Insurance Services

If you’ve ever loaned your car to a friend or borrowed someone else’s vehicle, you may have wondered what happens if an accident occurs. Would the vehicle owner’s insurance apply — or would the driver’s policy take over?

In most situations, auto insurance follows the vehicle first, not the driver. That means the car's policy is usually the primary source of coverage in the event of an accident. However, that’s not always the case. Swipe for some key details about when the vehicle owner’s policy kicks in and when the driver’s policy is used.

If you’re ever unsure how your coverage applies, want to double-check your policy, or layer on additional auto coverages, we’re always happy to take a look with you. Feel free to give our team a call. We are here to be a resource for you.

As we get closer to boating season, our team has been having more conversations with clients who are either getting their boats back in the water or are taking a fresh look at their overall liability protection on the water.

This is a good time of year to revisit boat insurance, especially since more people are getting out and enjoying the water. Swipe for an overview of common boating accidents, liability, and how boat insurance can help.

If it’s been a while since you last reviewed your policy, or if you want to get set up with your own dedicated boat policy, we are happy to help. Feel free to reach out, and we can start the conversation.

Cue the fireworks, fire up the grill, and get ready for what might be the most ambitious birthday cake of all time. 🎂

America turns 250 this year, which means 250 candles on the cake … so someone should probably alert the fire department.

However you’re celebrating the Fourth of July, we hope it’s filled with great food, good company, and a sky full of fireworks.

Our office will be closed on Saturday, July 4th, in observance of the holiday. We’ll be back and ready to help on Monday. Wishing you a safe and happy Fourth!
