For most people, a life insurance purchase is made to cover final expenses. However, life insurance is an important part of a financial plan to help protect and support your loved ones. Life insurance provides the monetary resources to replace a spouse’s income, pay off debts and estate taxes, and ensure your child’s college education in the event of a personal loss. Shafer Insurance Agency can help you determine not only the appropriate amount of life insurance you need, but also the type of coverage that will be best for you and your family.
Health Insurance
No law directly requires employers to provide health care coverage to their employees. However, the Affordable Care Act imposes penalties on larger employers that fail to provide health insurance.

Your brewery is home to valuable equipment, ingredients, and finished products. Commercial Property Insurance can protect your brewery’s physical assets, including the building, brewing equipment, fermenters, and kegs, from perils like fire, theft, vandalism or natural disasters.
Workers Compensation Insurance
Part of any good insurance plan includes having a workers compensation policy in place, and in most states, it is required by law. When an injury occurs, you want to take care of your employees and get them back to work as quickly as possible. Whether it’s providing you with a safety program, drug-free workplace training or strengthening your return-to-work program, our experienced team can develop a tailored plan that is appropriate for your sized business.
Commercial Liability Insurance
Just like an umbrella provides protection from the rain, a commercial umbrella insurance policy provides you extra protection in addition to your primary liability policies (such as general liability or business auto insurance). Without this extra coverage, you would have to pay out of pocket to cover items such as medical bills, legal costs, legal judgments, and property damages that exceed the limit of your primary liability policies. Umbrella policies are sold in increments of one million dollars and can be increased as far as your budget allows.
Given today’s legal climate, it is important to consider a Personal Liability Umbrella to help protect your assets and future earnings from a financially devastating lawsuit. An umbrella policy can provide an extra layer of coverage in addition to your auto, home and boat policy. In some circumstances, it can provide some coverage the underlying policy doesn’t even provide.
Travel Insurance
Identity Theft Insurance
In today’s digital age, our personal information is more vulnerable than ever before. With the increasing prevalence of online transactions, social media usage, and data breaches, the risk of identity theft has become a genuine concern for individuals and businesses alike. Identity theft can lead to financial losses, damaged credit, and emotional distress. Thankfully, there’s a powerful tool available to help safeguard against this modern menace – Identity Theft Insurance, also know as Personal Cyber Coverage.
Pet Insurance
Over the past decade, veterinary care costs have soared significantly. Modern medicine and advanced treatment options for pets have led to better outcomes, but these come at a cost. Routine check-ups, vaccinations, unexpected illnesses, accidents, and emergency surgeries can strain your finances if you are unprepared. Pet insurance provides a safety net, ensuring you can make decisions based on your pet’s health needs rather than financial constraints.
You most likely do not have flood coverage since the majority of policies specifically exclude this coverage. Sometimes it can be purchased back by an endorsement, so you’ll need to check with your carrier or agent. If the property is in a high risk flood zone, you’ll need to purchase a separate policy backed by FEMA and written through the National Flood Insurance Plan.
