American Insure-All® can provide your auto insurance in Mountlake Terrace. Auto insurance has been around almost as long as there have been automobiles. It evolved, believe it or not, from marine insurance – merchants creating a pool of money to protect investors from loss in the case of a ship going down. The practice originated in China, and spread across the Mediterranean. The first insurance company to handle marine insurance was Lloyd’s of London, in the 1700s.
Liability insurance for a vehicle was a new concept. The first policy was issued to Dr. Truman J. Martin, for $11.25. Dr. Martin drove his vehicle to visit his patients. The policy would cover from $5,000 to $10,000 in damages if Dr. Martin ran into anything. The policy was issued by Travelers Insurance Company of Hartford, Connecticut. The first state to require automobile owners to carry liability insurance was Massachusetts, in 1925. Today, nearly every state in the United States requires automobile owners to have some sort of insurance. The exceptions are Virginia and New Hampshire. Virginia requires payment of an uninsured motorist fee, while New Hampshire requires that motorists provide proof that they can pay for any liabilities they incur. Insurance requirements do vary from state to state, but as a general rule of thumb, if you are insured in one state your coverage extends to any location to which you drive your vehicle.

When our previous insurance provider decided to make a change in our career we were a little anxious. We had become accustomed to being on a first-name basis and getting quick responses to our requests. Little did we know at the time we had nothing to worry about as American Insure-All has more than met our previous expectations. Don and his team have been quick to respond to our needs and provide us with the peace of mind that we were looking for in a provider.
