  • Mortgage or Rent
  • Utility Bills
  • Car Loan
  • Student Loan
  • Groceries
  • Doctor Bills
  • Or Other Monthly Expenses

Is it even possible to submit a 5 million star review of sales agent, Mr. Joseph Boyle with Fearnow Insurance Inc ? Mr. Boyle is a highly skilled professional and even more remarkable has exceptional interpersonal qualities: very congenial and displays highly caring empathy.In my own case, I recently received a renewal policy correspondence from my former insurance provider indicating that I would be paying over three times as much for car insurance because I purchased a new all electric vehicle. After an in office consultation with Mr. Boyle, he was able to search for a bundled alternative that ended up saving me a considerably large sum of money.If you are considering changes in your insurance coverages, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Joseph Boyle with Fearnow Insurance Inc. You will be very happy with the results.

Kayla Peel worked diligently on my issue. She has gone above and beyond with my claim making sure I was always in the know as to what the next steps were on getting my insurance paperwork corrected. Kayla was super pleasant to engage with whether it be by phone, text or email. She was kind, polite and very understanding. She definitely is very detailed oriented and seems to be a great asset to Fernow insurance. She made sure I was well taken care of. If I could give more than 5 stars I would have given her 100 more ⭐️.

I've been a customer of Fearnow for about a year now...I started out with one home insurance policy with Fearnow and now I've transferred over all my policies to them. Joe has been incredible in helping me find the best prices for all my properties. He is very responsive to all my emails and questions and most importantly he is very thorough with everything. He doesn't miss a thing ! I feel confident in knowing that I am in good hand with Joe at Fearnow Ins.

I’ve been a customer of Fearnow for about 3 years now. I’ve trusted them with my home, auto, and life insurance policies.Joe and Matt have worked diligently to find me the best policies that meets my needs and don’t break the bank.Joe, in particular, went the extra mile when it came to my life insurance policy. He was a steadfast advocate for me and my family during the underwriting process and helped me lower my rate by requesting the consideration of a second opinion. If Joe hadn’t stood by my side, I’d have half the coverage for the same price.Therefore, I couldn’t recommend the folks at Fearnow enough. They really do put their customers needs first!

Some employers may offer Disability insurance, but these days many companies are opting out of providing this coverage in order to cut expenses.  If your employer does not offer any Disability options, it is important that you consider getting coverage for yourself.

Disability insurance is available in four categories.  The first two are the most well-known:  Short Term Disability and Long Term Disability.  The other categories include coverage for Mortgage Disability insurance and Individual Credit Disability insurance.

Short Term Disability (STD) Insurance

Short Term Disability is a type of financial benefit that pays a monthly allowance if you become ill or injured, and are unable to work.  Generally, the benefit pays $300 to $3,000 per month, depending on your income and occupation.  Options are available for a one year or three year term of benefits.

Local & Family Owned

Offices serving the local Tampa, FL and Wilson, NC areas for almost 30 years!

Competitive pricing nationally with world-class customer service!

Long Term Disability (LTD) Insurance

Long Term Disability, like Short Term Disability insurance, is a type of financial benefit that pays a monthly allowance should you ever become too ill or injured to work.  Under Long Term Disability insurance, you can select how long you want your “Elimination Period” to be (the length of time you must be disabled before you can start receiving benefits).  You also have the option to choose between a 5 year benefit period or an up-to-age-67 benefit period.  The maximum monthly allowance under Long Term Disability is $500 to $20,000.  This benefit amount is also based on your income and occupation prior to becoming disabled.

Mortgage Disability Insurance

Unlike STD or LTD insurance, Mortgage Disability insurance provides a financial benefit for the sole use of making your mortgage payment. Mortgage Disability insurance benefits begin only when you are totally disabled due to an illness or injury, and the benefit period can last up to 3 years.

Individual Credit Disability Insurance

Aside from being able to make your mortgage or rent payment, another major concern when you are disabled, is making sure you can continue to pay your creditors and not cause any damage to your credit.  Individual Credit Disability insurance helps with that.  Your lenders are provided with a direct payment – so you don’t have to worry about a thing!
