Buying insurance in Lubbock is quite a shock for many who move here from other parts of the country.  They can’t believe that home insurance can cost so much.  When I moved to Lubbock over 30 years ago, the cost of my home insurance doubled while the amount of coverage decreased 25%. Lubbock area deductibles also are normally 1% of the value of your home.  […]

My first year in the insurance business was notable for a number of reasons but this claim has been among the strangest that I have ever experienced.  It seems that our customer was taking a shotgun out of his pickup truck and dropped the gun.  Either while attempting to catch the gun or upon the gun’s collision with the pavement, the shotgun discharged shooting pellets […]

Low deductibles are great when the claim occurs but rarely are they the best long term decision. O.K.  Let’s start this discussion with a trip to Las Vegas.  Odds are, if you are reading this, you don’t live in Vegas so a trip is within the sphere of imagination for you.   See this decision is all about odds.

So I was at the Lubbock, Texas Parade of Homes last week and saw a friend that said he wanted to call me about his home and auto insurance.  He called me that following Monday and a couple of days later, Hettler Insurance wrote his auto insurance policy.  I didn’t know what he was paying through his long time agent, but I did know that […]

Most auto insurance buyers understand that Uninsured Motorists coverage covers them when they are hit by someone who doesn’t have insurance and the buyer wasn’t at fault in the accident.  But Uninsured Motorists Coverage has some interesting twists that may provide coverage just when you need it.

So you’re tired of hearing the commercials that brag that you could save “16% or more on your car insurance” or that the average driver that switched saves $350 per year by switching to….”  It’s hard to figure out the methods to buy auto insurance but let me go through the options. 

Over and over again for the past 30 years, I have heard the complaint that the amount of coverage on my home on my homeowner’s insurance policy is way more than the home’s market value.  Sometimes you insure even a newly constructed home for more than what you just paid!   A seemingly excess amount of coverage is a valid concern because it seems a bit unethical to insure your home for […]

A Lubbock business owner called last week to switch both his business and personal policies to Hettler Insurance from a one company agent. We were able to save him over $600 per year utilizing three of our carriers.
