Questions
When do I need workers compensation insurance?
New York State law requires workers compensation insurance for businesses with employees to cover work-related injuries or illnesses.
What is replacement cost versus actual cash value?
Replacement cost covers new-for-old repairs without depreciation, while actual cash value accounts for depreciation. We recommend replacement cost coverage for better protection.
Do I need flood insurance?
Flood insurance is required for properties in designated flood zones and often mandated by mortgage lenders for high-risk areas.
What is renters insurance?
Renters insurance covers personal property and liability for apartment, condo, or townhome tenants. It's not legally required but recommended for financial protection.
Am I covered if someone else drives my car?
Coverage depends on the situation: liability covers damage from at-fault drivers, collision covers your vehicle repairs, and comprehensive covers hit-and-run incidents.
Will my business be audited?
Businesses may face insurance audits if premiums are based on sales, receipts, or payroll to verify exposure calculations and ensure accurate premium determination.

I switched to the Sentz-Carlson Agency in the last year. They did a full review of the coverage I had and showed me where I was overpaying and where I could save money. I pay less now and actually have better coverage than I did with my previous insurer. Im very happy with the Sentz-Carlson Agency!
