Personal Insurance
Your home is one of the largest, if not the largest financial investments you’ll make in your lifetime. Having the right homeowners policy in place can ensure you recover from financial loss should the unexpected occur.
Homeowners insurance protects more than just your property; it also covers the people in it and your personal belongings. Wallace & Turner can help you determine the value of your home, personal property, unique or expensive items and personal liability to find the right Ohio homeowners coverage for your situation.
Homeowners coverage includes incidents related to the following:
Weather: storms, fire, wind, hail, lightning, freezing, weight of ice, snow or sleet
Non-weather: theft, vandalism, riots, aircraft and vehicles
Sudden/accidental: water from plumbing, tearing/bulging of heating or cooling systems and artificially generated electrical currents
We are also available to discuss policy options for your vacation/secondary home and property in other states. Reach out to our friendly and knowledgeable team today.
Your townhome or condo association policy can be difficult to understand, and what is actually covered can vary greatly. Wallace & Turner is available to review and assess the policy to help you make an informed decision about obtaining personal condo insurance.
A unit-owner’s policy will insure personal property and any parts of your unit that aren’t covered by the association, including possessions, repairs to the interior of the unit and potential liability claims brought against you. Contact our agents to discuss affordable coverage for:
Personal property: loss due to theft, fire, and certain forms of weather damage
Liability claims: accidental injuries to others
Alterations and improvements: appliances, fixtures, and interior modifications

Jewelry & collectible insurance provides coverage for a range of unique property that requires specialized valuation, such as fine art, jewelry, collectibles, furs, animals and other expensive valuables. An inland marine policy will provide comprehensive coverage because it follows the property anywhere. Characteristics of property covered under an inland marine policy include:
Property of high value
Property that is mobile/portable
Property not covered under a homeowners policy, particularly if it is moved out of the country
Inland marine insurance is flexible and often ideal for people who have valuable family heirlooms, jewelry, collectors’ items and similar possessions. Talk with a Wallace & Turner agent to find inland marine insurance that’s right for you.
Head out onto the water knowing you, your passengers and your boat are protected. Wallace & Turner offers coverage for speedboats, fishing boats, sailboats, pontoons, your Jet Ski®, WaveRunner® or other personal watercraft.
Our boat and watercraft insurance policies provide specialized coverage against most risks of owning and operating your boat, including protection against liability lawsuits and medical payments, whether on the water or land.

Earthquake coverage is required to cover losses for your property — your homeowners or renter’s insurance will not reimburse for damages, and government disaster-relief programs are extremely limited. Wallace & Turner can add this coverage to your homeowners policy to cover:
Damage to your home
Living expenses if your home is unlivable following an earthquake
Personal property if your possessions are damaged
With the right combination of coverage, you can secure the financial resources to get back on your feet after an earthquake and even replace your home and possessions if necessary. Talk to Wallace & Turner to make sure you’re fully covered.
Floods are the most common natural disaster in the United States. Just one inch of flood water can cause $25,000 in damage to your home and belongings. Don’t let yourself be caught off guard — water damage from a flood is not covered in a homeowners or renter’s policy. Flood insurance must be purchased as a separate policy to protect against damage caused by heavy rains, hurricanes, snow and flash floods.
Wallace & Turner’s standard flood policy will insure the following:
Structural damage
Furnace, water heater, and air conditioner
Flood debris cleanup
Flooring such as carpeting and tile
Flood insurance can also protect contents in your home, such as furniture, collectibles, clothing, jewelry and artwork.
Our independent insurance agents are ready to help you select the right flood insurance policy for your situation. Call today.
If you’re conducting business out of your home, it’s critical to have business insurance as an investment in your company. Your homeowners or renter’s policy will provide little, if any, coverage should you need to file a claim.
If any of the following apply to your business, call Wallace & Turner to discuss your flexible coverage options:
Customers or clients come to my home.
I maintain inventory or supplies in my home.
I would lose income if I had to close my business because of damage to my home.
I have employees working in my home.
I maintain client or employee records on my computer.
Fraud and identity theft continue to rise as vital information is more easily accessed online and through technology. Trying to restore your credit and finances can take a tremendous amount of time. Luckily, you can insure your identity to make sure you never become a victim.
While there’s no foolproof method to prevent identity theft, Wallace & Turner can put the tools in place to make the recovery process faster while saving you money with less aggravation should someone steal your identity. We can help you recover costs for the following:
Refiling applications for loans or other credit instruments
Credit reports from credit bureaus
Notarizing affidavits
Fees charged by an approved attorney for necessary legal actions
Fees from financial institutions
Replacing documents, including driver’s license, passport and Social Security card
Contact us to learn more about how identity theft insurance can keep you protected.
If you’re heading out for a vacation and renting a vehicle, your existing auto or homeowners policy may not fully cover you. Purchasing temporary RV or travel insurance can cover you for the following:
Non-auto related incidents: such as a cooking fire or tree limb falling and causing damage
Vehicles with more than four wheels: a motorhome with more than four wheels would not be covered under your auto policy, and supplemental rental insurance is recommended
Liability: injuries to visitors to your motorhome and other liability issues
Travel insurance can help to reimburse for costs related to your vacation if an emergency situation, such as weather, sickness or an injury, occurs. Wallace & Turner can determine what “emergency medical benefits” you may need to be purchased for covering:
Deductibles
Coverage limits
Pre-existing conditions
Trip interruption coverage
If you’re traveling or operating a non-standard vehicle, don’t overlook this essential coverage. Keep on moving with RV and travel insurance from Wallace & Turner.
If you’re planning a special event, such as a wedding, housewarming or retirement party, having an event liability policy in place will protect you against property damage or injury during the celebration. Should the event need to be canceled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, this coverage can help recover nonrefundable deposits and other financial investments you’ve made.
Many venues and vendors will have their own liability insurance, so be sure to check in advance what will be covered or not to ensure your own policy will help fill any gaps.
Specialty insurance keeps you covered during life’s most important moments. Don’t let an accident or unfortunate circumstance put you at risk. Contact Wallace & Turner for help finding the perfect specialty insurance policy.
