Life Insurance Policies

Tatum insurance understands your loved ones depend on you financially. That’s why our life insurance coverage is a must since it replaces your income when you’re deceased. This is important for parents with young children or adults whose partners they depended on pass away. At Tatum Insurance, we have a life insurance policy to support your household when you can’t.

Life insurance policies available in Texas include:

  • Term Life: It protects you against death for a specific period. Usually from 10 to 30 years. Once the term ends, you can renew the policy until age 95.
  • Universal Life: This is permanent life insurance it doesn’t have a specific end date. It accumulates cash value annually which provides financial support much later.
  • Whole Life: This is also permanent insurance with a cash value accumulation feature. It can assist with settling debts, supplement a term life policy, or provide supplemental income for your loved ones.

Renters Insurance Policies

Your landlord has probably insured the building you live in. There’s a common misconception that the property’s coverage extends to your personal belongings when the unexpected happens. This is not correct; you are responsible for your belongings in the rented house if a loss occurs. Not the property owner. Many landlords require renters insurance in Texas as a condition of your lease.

A typical renters insurance policy has the following coverage:

  • Personal Property Coverage: Compensates you to repair or replace your stuff up to your policy’s limit.
  • Personal Liability: Provides coverage against lawsuits when someone is injured in your home up to your policy’s limit.
  • Loss of Use: Pays for reasonable additional living cost above your regular expenses when your house is temporarily uninhabitable due to a covered event.

Business Insurance Policies

From day one of starting a business, you are exposed to certain risks, which is why you need business insurance. One catastrophic event or lawsuit is enough to wipe out a small start-up even before it gets off the ground.

In Texas, it’s not mandatory for small businesses to have workers compensation coverage. However, your company is still responsible for injuries sustained by employees while working. Texas law allows someone injured at work up to two years to file a lawsuit. You could be still at risk of a lawsuit long after an injury happens.
Our experienced team of experts at Tatum insurance will advise you accordingly, and find the best business insurance coverage to protect your organization. We will provide information and advice about the following policies:

  • Business Owner’s policy (BOP)
  • Workers Compensation
  • General Liability
  • Cyber Liability

Motorcycle Insurance Policies

Texas has the highest number of motorcycle owners than any other state, and having motorcycle insurance is required. A motorcycle insurance policy protects you, and your motorbike from injuries and accidents that may occur while riding. In Texas, there’s a special law for motorcycle riders called the Texas helmet law. It requires riders and passengers of motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds of all ages to wear an approved safety helmet while riding. However, there are exceptions to this law.
At Tatum, we will explain these exceptions in simple terms until you understand how insurers handle policies based on motorcycle helmet use. We will also help you to find the best coverage for your bike and how much it costs.
