  • When I called the staff at Paul T. Murphy Insurance, they explained how auto reform would allow me to increase coverage and save money at the same time. I moved my home and umbrella insurance to my current auto carrier and saved over $350. In July 2008 when my auto insurance renews with Safety Insurance, I will save another $300 just for having my auto and home insurance with the same company. The staff at Paul T Murphy Insurance Agency really understands the new Massachusetts reform and how to pass savings and additional coverage to their clients.

  • After many years of doing business with the Paul T. Murphy Insurance Agency, I am thrilled to learn of this relationship with Northrup to service the Lynnfield area. I have trusted both my personal and business policies with Paul and have never received less than the best of service. I like the face that they service as professionals but treat you like a friend. Recently during a complicated Workers Comp claim, Paul showed up to walk me through what I thought would be a mess of paperwork and confusion – the personalized service I receive spoke volumes. I have never gotten service like that from anyone else. I also like the fact that they are always ready to save me money without ever compromising my coverage.

  • One of the best business and personal decisions I ever made was to collaborate with Paul Murphy Insurance Company for our families insurance needs. Starting with our business policies, then eventually all of our personal policies, we have slowly transitioned all to be managed by PMI. Many companies loosely tout that they treat you as one of the family; PMI proves it in their actions. We are glad we are part of their family.

Do People Who Plow Their Own Driveways Need Snow Plow Insurance?

Whether individuals need a commercial snow plow insurance policy for personal plowing activities normally depends on at least two criteria.

First, some plow owners may need a commercial policy because their truck is registered as a commercial vehicle. Even if a truck is used for personal driving, a commercial snow plow policy may be necessary if the registration reads “commercial.”

Second, whether plow owners are paid often influences what type of insurance is needed. Those who plow their own, friends’ and family members’ driveways without receiving compensation ma only need a robust personal policy. Anyone who is paid -- even if by friends or family members -- for plowing has ventured beyond the scope of most personal policies and likely needs a commercial snow plow policy.

What Coverages Are Included in Snow Plow Insurance Policies?

Since plowing businesses can frequently adjust their policies’ coverages, the exact coverages included in these policies often vary slightly. There are, however, many coverages that policies commonly make available as standard or optional protections. A few are:

Every coverage should be selected with care, but commercial auto coverage deserves special attention. Plowing businesses typically own expensive vehicles, and drivers are frequently out in difficult driving conditions. In most cases, the commercial auto coverage selected should provide plenty of protection for plowing vehicles and potential accidents.

An insurance agent who’s familiar with the needs of snow plow businesses can help make sure the appropriate commercial auto coverage protections are in place when purchasing a policy.
