FAQs

Dan Burghardt Insurance

Have a question about insurance? We have the answer at Dan Burghardt Insurance. Check out these FAQs and contact us today for more information!

  • Who does my agent work for?

    A captive agent or direct writer works for the company they sell. As an independent insurance agency, Dan Burghardt Insurance works for you!

  • Why would I use an independent agent?

    Captive agents and direct writers like State Farm, Allstate, GEICO, and Safe Auto have very limited price, payment, and coverage choices to offer. They sell only one company, at one price, with one or two payment plans. Work with our independent agency when you need a homeowners, car, or business insurance agency. 

  • Do I want to buy from a big national company where I’ll be just a number?

    It’s fine, of course, if you're comfortable with that. However, if you are more comfortable buying locally, Dan Burghardt Insurance is your local agent and has been for over 40 years. Come to use when you need a homeowners or commercial insurance agency!

  • What happens if I don’t carry insurance?

    Driving without auto insurance will result in fines, a suspended license, and the towing of your vehicle if you are caught on the road without the minimum insurance coverage. Louisiana’s insurance law, “No-Pay, No-Play” disqualifies anyone who does not carry mandatory liability from receiving claim payments for bodily injuries and property damages in an automobile accident. By not carrying liability insurance you, in turn, are not covered by anyone else’s insurance. Contact our car insurance agency to learn more.

  • What will I need for proof of insurance?

    Your insurance agency is required to issue you an auto insurance ID Card on each vehicle they insure. You must carry this in your vehicle at all times when the vehicle is driven. Other states require the same and as you travel from state to state, your minimum limits of liability go up with each state requirement at no additional cost.

  • What is home insurance?

    A home insurance policy provides a homeowner with financial protection for damage to or loss of their property and belongings. It also provides financial protection and legal defense to the owner of the home for actions or property conditions that result in injury to someone or damage to another person’s property. The exact terms of coverage depend upon the form of the homeowners policy you purchase, but most home insurance policies cover events like fire, hail, wind, and windstorm damage. Home insurance also provides financial assistance if a homeowner must be temporarily displaced because their home has been damaged by an event covered by the policy. 


    When you are shopping for home insurance, it is important to understand the available policy options. We understand that figuring out what coverage you need while also finding a policy at an affordable price that fits those needs can be frustrating. Unless you are an insurance professional, you shouldn’t try to figure out the maze of insurance terms and policy conditions by yourself.
