Denver Insurance Agency

The Badger Approach

Gather Information

No two clients are the same when it comes to insurance, so in order to make sure all of your risks are fully covered, we’ll ask you for some basic information about your specific situation. This allows us to fine-tune your insurance quotes, ensuring that you’re getting the coverage you need.

Shop & Compare

Unlike the big name insurers Allstate, State Farm, or Geico, who can only sell their own policies, our insurance agency is truly independent and represents many carriers. This allows us to compare your insurance against dozens of providers on your behalf to see who offers the best deal based on your needs. You don’t have to do anything… No negotiating, no dealing with telemarketers.

Find The Best Insurance For You

Once we’ve found the best possible combination of coverage and price based on your specific situation, we’ll send you the quote and provide a summary of the coverages, riders, and pricing so that you understand exactly where you’re spending your hard earned money. Let us go to work for you!

Kevin Volz

Agency Principal

Kevin Volz is always friendly and personable. He replies way too often on the weekends and after hours and I feel bad about sending him messages then because I know he will reply! He’s treated my friends and family really well when I have referred them and he stays on top of our policies and makes sure we are getting the best price we can. Top notch agency and broker, we’ve been with him for several years now and I have nothing but positive things to say!

Danielle K.

We were unhappy with our existing insurance agent and our neighbor recommended Kevin Volz at Badger Insurance Advisors. Kevin came to our home and spent a considerable amount of time visiting with us and helping us determine the levels of coverage that were right for our situation. We were and still are very pleased with his knowledge, availability and responsiveness when we have questions and would highly recommend him to others.

Better Insurance

Decisions Begin Here

Like most other goods and services, insurance is not immune to the pressure of inflation. When determining insurance premiums, insurance companies look at many factors including industry trends, number of claims and costs to repair vehicles and homes. Specifically, home building materials and auto repair have increased, chip shortages have pressured supply chains and pricing on new vehicles, and a labor shortage persists. Let’s not forget natural disasters and our litigious culture! Add these ingredients together, and you have a recipe for higher prices better known as “Insurance Inflation”. Digging a little deeper… Since the pandemic, driving behavior has become riskier. I remember the lockdown days when no one was on the road. We were driving less, fewer incidents were being reported, and insurers were even providing rebates for limited driving activity. Those days are now long past…I know I’m getting older and becoming the “get off my lawn guy”, but driving behavior truly seems more aggressive. "People picked up some risky habits," says Sean Kevelighan, CEO of the Insurance Information Institute . "And we haven't seen those risky habits go away, even though we have more people on the road." According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , the number of fatal auto accidents jumped sharply in late 2020 and early 2021. Auto insurance costs jumped more than 19% during the year ending in August, while overall inflation was 3.7%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics . (see image above) Gathering my Google thoughts recently lead me to this local headline: “ Coloradans report dramatic spikes in home insurance premiums heading into 2024 .” A March 2023 study conducted by the state’s Division of Insurance found that between January 2019 and October 2022, the average homeowner premium was up nearly 52%. My automated response these days to insurance customers about homeowners rates has been “we’re seeing 30-60% increases for everyone statewide”. The problem is even worse in other states like California/Florida/Louisiana where insurers have decided to no longer offer coverage in many cases. My dad lives in Florida, he recently asked “What am I supposed to do? My rate just doubled!” Other than moving to another low-risk state, there are not many clear-cut answers. Higher insurance rates may be here to stay…what can I do about it? -Ask your insurer about discounts for which you may qualify. -Claim frequency will also lead to rate increases. Before filing that next claim, ask yourself “is this worth filing? Will the claim payout be well beyond my deductible? -Explore payment options like automatic EFT payments or paying for the year in full. -Increase your deductible. -Consider a bundle of insurance coverages with one company. -Maintain a good driving record along with healthy credit (insurance companies use their own scoring model) and participate in a safe driving app offered by most insurers. -Reduce liability and coverage limits. If your net worth is minimal and you don’t have high take home pay, there is a strong argument not to have $500,000+ of liability coverage. Attorneys most likely will not come after you if you have no money. -One of the biggest ways to save is by buying an older car or a new model with a high safety rating. Do your homework, research insurance costs before purchasing your next vehicle. -Shop around, not every 6 months, but at least every other year! If you’ve been with the same company for a long time, another company will probably give you a decent offer for loyalty. -Ask about the mileage your insurer has on file. If you no longer drive as much as you used to, companies often will lower your rates based on limited mileage.

Were you aware??? -Floods are the number one disaster in the United States. -More than 20% of all flood insurance claims come from areas in low to moderate-risk flood zones. -Just one inch of water can cause large financial losses. -Almost everyone lives or works near a flood zone. -Standard home and business insurance policies typically do not cover flood insurance. As an insurance agent primarily serving Colorado, flood insurance is a topic not discussed very often. General reasoning is that we live in an arid climate with relatively low annual precipitation…why spend money on something that has a low probability of occurrence? Well, tell that to the residents of Louisville, Colorado or other mountain towns that have been devastated by wildfires, statistically low occurrence probability events. This brings us to May 2023! Historically, May is the wettest month in Colorado with an average precipitation of 2.5 inches. As of May 17, 2023, Denver International Airport recorded 4.7 inches, almost double the average, and officially cracks the top 10 wettest May’s ever. If you’re curious, the wettest May in Colorado happened in 1876, over 8.5 inches…crazy by comparison! Since May 17 th , I’ve spent a majority of my days on the phone with customers discussing coverages and limitations of homeowners policies, and of course a fair amount of time speaking with claims departments. I thought I’d take a moment to clarify flood insurance… Do I need flood insurance? Just because you haven't experienced a flood in the past, doesn't mean you won't in the future. The reality is a flood can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Common flood causes include rainfall, river-flow, topography, and changes to the landscape due to building and development. Here is a link to help you understand flood risk in your area: https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home Is flood insurance mandatory? Often, homes and businesses in high-risk flood zones are required to have home or business flood insurance coverage. Don’t wait until it’s too late… Typically, there's a 30-day waiting period after a flood insurance policy is purchased before it becomes effective. Understanding that floods are one of the top natural disasters in the country, it is encouraged that you review your flood insurance options. What is not covered by flood insurance? Like most insurance policies, there are usually specific coverage exclusions and limitations. Examples of uncovered or excluded losses: -Damage caused by moisture, mildew, or mold that could have been avoided by the property owner. -Additional living expenses such as temporary housing. -Most self-propelled vehicles such as cars, including their parts (auto insurance with comprehensive coverage will cover flood damage to vehicles). -Property and belongings outside of a building such as trees, plants, shrubs, wells, septic systems, walks, decks, patios, fences, seawalls, hot tubs, and swimming pools. -Financial losses such as business interruption or loss of use of insured property. What does flood insurance cover? The NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) offers two types of flood insurance — building and contents — each with a separate deductible. A deductible is the amount of a claim you’re responsible for paying. Building coverage ($250,000 limit) Building coverage is insurance for the structure of your home (akin to dwelling coverage on a homeowners policy). This pays for flood damage to things like: Electrical and plumbing systems, water heaters, furnaces, foundation walls, built-in appliances, cabinets, permanently installed carpets, detached garages, fuel and well water tanks, solar energy equipment, and window blinds. Contents coverage ($100,000 limit) Similar to personal property coverage on a homeowners or renters policy, contents coverage pays for damage to your “stuff”. Typically, this includes clothing, furniture, electronics, curtains, and appliances. The NFIP covers your belongings on an “actual cash value” basis. This means that if you file a flood insurance claim, your payout will reflect what your belongings were worth at the time of the flood, not a “replacement cost”. Is there flood insurance with limits beyond what the NFIP offers? Yes, broader coverage and higher limits are available via private flood insurance policies.

Whether it's baseball, a legal precedent, or insurance claims..."3 strikes" are not good!
By Kevin Volz February 19, 2023
It’s an issue of concern to an increasing number of homeowners each year. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, residential solar energy has experienced an average yearly growth rate of 68% over the last decade. Before taxes, an installed rooftop solar energy system can cost anywhere between $15,000 and $25,000, according to the Center for Sustainable Energy. I recently received a bid for my new home in the Painted Prairie neighborhood of Aurora, Colorado, and the number was pushing $40,000…crazy! Paying to replace a damaged system could be a big financial burden for many homeowners. Being able to insure that investment against damage from a storm or other event could be key in whether you choose to add solar panels to your home. Solar panel insurance coverage is included in most homeowners insurance policies. However, you may need to increase the amount of coverage on your home to account for the cost of the system which can then raise your premium. Solar systems and rooftop panels are considered a permanent attachment to your property, like a patio or a security system. If the panels are separate from your home's primary structure—mounted on the ground or on a detached carport, for instance—they are usually included in coverage for "other structures." If you lease your solar panels instead of buying them, ask the solar company how insuring them works. Many companies will insure the panels themselves. However, some companies may want you to add them to your homeowners insurance, or have you purchase solar panel insurance that they sell. Solar panel systems can be an excellent investment, reducing your electricity bill while increasing the value of your home. Protecting that investment with the proper homeowners insurance can help ensure you’re covered if the unexpected happens.
