AUTO, HOME, FLOOD AND UMBRELLA

Page 2: AUTO, HOME, FLOOD AND UMBRELLA Protection for More Than Your Car

Like most people, when you hear the wordinsurance, thoughts of protecting your carand your home probably spring to mind. Afterall, your car represents freedom, fun andyour personal sense of style, while your homeis that special place where you can just “be.”

Sure, protecting your home and possessionsare important, but insurance represents somuch more. It’s easy to forget that yourinsurance protects not only your possessions,but also your financial well-being. Anyonecan sue you for a number of reasons. A relatively minor collision with a commutervan or bus could involve half a dozen differentlawsuits. An icy front step could leave a visitor to your home with a broken leg andleave you facing a large judgment. Withoutadequate protection, your entire life savingscould be at risk.

With so much at stake, it makes sense tochoose one company for all your insuranceneeds and protect your financial freedom.One company that protects your valuables

Pricing That Reflects YouWhen it comes to determining your auto premiums, The Hartford will look at you –your age, driving history, marital status, location, etc. So how much you pay for autoinsurance will be a reflection of you – notyour spouse, your teenage daughter or anyother drivers in your household. And eachyear, we will take a fresh look at you, your driv-ing habits and other factors to make sure weare providing you with the best price possible– now and throughout your driving lifetime.

Disappearing Collision Deductible*

To reward good drivers for their loyalty, The Hartford offers qualified customers a$150 reduction in their collision deductibleafter insuring with us for three years. Ifyou’re one of these drivers, you continue toreceive $50 off for every additional year thatyou – and all drivers listed on the policy –maintain clean driving records.

Page 9: AUTO, HOME, FLOOD AND UMBRELLA Protection for More Than Your Car

Personal umbrella coverage can help youmount a powerful defense against the financialburden of personal litigation. For example,what would you do if you were in a car accidentand were sued for $1 million? Or a neighborwere injured in your swimming pool andsued you to recover medical expenses?Unfortunately, anyone can be sued, and million dollar judgments have become all toocommon. Even if the court decides in yourfavor, you may still have to pay legal fees and court costs.

The Hartford’s personal umbrella providesup to $5 million dollars of additional liabilitycoverage* to help protect your assets. What’smore, our personal umbrella plan will extendthe same coverage to your spouse, as well as toother relatives living in your home (within thelimits and exclusions described in the policy).
