1 California Auto, Home, Flood and Umbrella YOUR STYLE. YOUR COVERAGE. Protection for What Matters Most

2 WHATEVER YOUR STYLE, OUR COVERAGE FITS. Your car. Your home. Your prized possessions. They represent so much more than mere shelter or transportation. Whether brick and mortar or steel and glass, your assets are a reflection of your hard work, security and freedom and your personal style. And whatever your style, The Hartford has the coverage to fit your unique insurance needs and budget. When you think about the things that insurance can help with, isn t it amazing how quickly a small event can lead to big consequences? For example, a minor collision with a commuter bus turns into half a dozen lawsuits. An icy front step results in a broken leg, and suddenly you re facing a large judgment. In today s litigious environment, any mishap, no matter how small, can lead to a lawsuit. Without adequate protection, your entire life savings could be at risk. With so much at stake, it just makes sense to have one trusted provider, one guardian for your property as well as your financial freedom. Make The Hartford your choice for homeowners, auto, umbrella and flood coverage. We invite you to put our products, service and experience to the test and enjoy multiple discounts. The Hartford is with you every step of the way through all the stages of your life. AUTO Coverage to protect your vehicle, as well as your assets.

At The Hartford, we know it's more than just a car to you. And this program is more than just car insurance. It's about making certain that your protection and the service behind it keeps your life uninterrupted. Our goal is to eliminate any inconvenience, any hassles, so you can get back to the things in life that matter most. HOME No two homes, or homeowners, are exactly alike. That s why The Hartford offers two, innovative and customizable packages that can be added to the basic home policy to meet your coverage needs, budget and lifestyle. While The Hartford can t prevent a fire or theft at your home, we can provide the coverage to help you recover afterwards and keep your life uninterrupted. We offer a choice of two homeowners packages that are designed to stretch your insurance dollar and provide added security: Advantage This package is ideal for customers who want added value and extra protection, above their base policy, for certain coverages, such as: Replacement Cost Contents Coverage Replacement protection for your personal property.

It expands coverage limits by up to 10% when environmentally friendly materials or processes are used to make repairs or upgrade to more energy efficient or environmentally friendly systems and appliances after a covered loss. Equipment Protection Advantage. Sometimes, the things you need most in your home from appliances to heating and cooling systems suddenly break.

With flood protection from The Hartford, the following damages are covered: Structural elements, including walls, floors, equipment and fixtures Contents such as furniture, appliances, carpeting, and wall and floor coverings Personal items such as clothing, audio equipment and televisions UMBRELLA Often called peace-of-mind protection, umbrella coverage takes over where your basic auto and homeowners policies leave off. What if you were in a car accident and were sued for $1 million? Or a neighbor was injured in your swimming pool and sued to recover medical expenses? Unfortunately, anyone can be hit with a lawsuit, and million-dollar judgments have become commonplace. Even if the court were to decide in your favor, you might still owe legal fees and court costs.
