Bill Sparks 2023William M. Sparks   1945 - 2023

My father, William (Bill) Sparks, passed away sadly but comfortably  Sunday morning, surrounded by his family. He was a kind and loving man with a heart of gold.  There are so many who loved him and will feel this loss –  in the business world and far beyond.  He would say thank you to all of his small-business customer for their support, and he would wish everyone peace and happiness. I have run the William M. Sparks Insurance Agency for many years now, and I will continue to run it just as my father did and as he would want me to do.  On behalf of my family, I thank you all for your kind words, well wishes and support at this time.   --- Danielle Sparks

Boat Insurance covers theft, damage, related losses and others’ claims

Your boat is an important investment – even more important when you add accessories, equipment and a trailer.   Here at the William M. Sparks Insurance Agency, Inc. in Timonium, Maryland, we can help you sort through the options and arrive at the best boat insurance coverage for your needs.

The type of boat insurance coverage you require depends upon the size, type and value of your boat and the water in which you use it.

 Is Boat Insurance Needed for Small Boats?

Typically, small boats such as small sailboats, canoes and small power boats, may be covered under a renters, condo or homeowners policy.

 What Does Boat Insurance Cover?

Larger, faster boats require a separate insurance policy and coverages usually include the following:

  • Physical damage or loss – covers permanently attached equipment, machinery, furnishings and fittings as well as the hull.  In the event of a physical loss or damage, reimbursement depends upon which of the following types of policies you have chosen.
  • Agreed Amount Value – reimburses the previously agreed-upon (full or partial) value of your vessel.
  • Actual Cash Value – reimburses replacement cost at the time of the loss, less depreciation.
  • Property damage – covers damage to someone else’s property.
  • Bodily injury – covers injuries caused to someone else.
  • Medical payments – covers injuries to you and/or your passengers.
  • Theft of your boat or its covered elements.
  • Guest passenger liability – covers legal expenses of someone using the boat with your permission.

Liability limits, deductibles, additional coverages and discounts can vary to meet your needs.

Why not sit down with one of our capable agents who is experienced in boat insurance; and with their help, you can learn about available discounts and coverage choices to create just the right policy for your needs.  Just contact us today to discuss how we can help or get a free quote.

 Auto Insurance for Your Car, Truck, SUV in MD, VA, PA

If you are like most folks, your car is essential to your daily life. You take care of it and take care to avoid damage.  But accidents happen, and you need to know you and your car, truck or SUV are protected from loss. 

Here at the William M. Sparks Insurance Agency in Timonium, Maryland, we have helped thousands of auto insurance policy holders. Whether you are a resident in Maryland (MD), Virginia (VA) or Pennsylvania (PA), we know the guidelines so we can help you plan your coverage and avoid costly mistakes down the road.

Auto insurance is your protection from the financial loss incurred because of an automobile accident.  Your car insurance policy will define exactly how your insurance company will handle your losses when you submit a claim.

Generally, auto insurance includes several types of coverage:

  • Bodily injury liability coverage pays for injuries someone else suffers in an auto accident if you are at fault.
  • Medical Payments or Personal Injury Protection provides reimbursement for medical treatment suffered by you and/or your passengers during an accident.
  • Property damage liability covers damage you caused to someone else’s property.
  • Collision coverage pays for damages to your own vehicle in case of an upset or collision with another car or object.  
  • Comprehensive insurance covers your loss when you experience fire, theft, glass breakage, or damage to your vehicle from something other than collision.
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage reimburses for your injuries in case of an accident involving a person without auto insurance, with lower limits that yours which are insufficient to cover your damages, or with a hit-and-run driver.  

Liability limits, deductibles, additional coverages and discounts can vary to meet your needs.

Optional Coverages to consider:

  • Rental Car Reimbursement
  • Emergency Towing
  • Loan Security Protection

So why not take a moment to get a no-obligation review of your current policy or request an auto insurance quote.  Our experienced agents are waiting to hear from you.

Personal Catastrophe Liability (Umbrella) Insurance Coverage for MD, VA, PA

What happens if the settlement following an accident far exceeds your insurance coverage?  Although high six-figure awards are still uncommon except in corporate lawsuits, they can happen. Personal catastrophe liability coverage (umbrella insurance coverage) is your answer.  Here at the William M. Sparks Insurance Agency in Timonium, Maryland (Baltimore County), we want to be sure you have that extra protection and avoid such devastating loss.

An umbrella insurance policy offers personal catastrophe liability (umbrella) insurance coverage that extends your financial protection beyond your homeowners, renters, condo and auto insurance coverages. 

The amount of additional coverage is most commonly one million dollars, and some insurance companies offer higher amounts. 

Personal catastrophe liability coverage protects you, your covered family members and your household pets against damages to another person or their property or belongings, whether on your premises or anywhere in the world.

Although claims that exceed what a home or auto policy can provide are still uncommon, a single loss of this type can alter your future.  With an umbrella liability insurance policy, your risk is in the severity of a claim, not the frequency. 

This is a relatively inexpensive type of coverage, so why take the risk?  The experienced representatives at the William M. Sparks Insurance Agency, here in Timonium, MD, can take care of the details.  So contact us to get the protection you need today.
