Wiki Says
The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc., is one of the oldest continuous
businesses in the United States, still operating within its original
industry. It was the original name of a property-liability insurance
firm born in 1852. It remained a publicly-traded company under that
name until the early 1990s, when it changed its name to Allmerica
Property & Casualty Companies.
In 1996, it spun off Allmerica Financial Corporation as a property and
casualty insurance and financial services holding company, which then
bought out the original firm and grew to become one of the 500 largest
publicly-traded companies of the United States. In 2005, Allmerica
Financial Corporation reverted its name back to Hanover.
Hanover Car Says
Hanover goes beyond ordinary liability coverage, providing a broad range of options:
Liability insurance covers property damages and bodily injury to others, up to the policy limits.
Medical Payments Coverage, for reasonable medical
expenses incurred from an auto accident, including injuries caused by
uninsured or hit-and-run drivers.
Collision coverage, for auto damage caused by a collision with another vehicle or object.
In addition to collision coverage, the comprehensive
option pays for actual cash value of new cars stolen within six months
of purchase.
Optional “Other-Than-Collision” coverage in the event
of a collision loss. Depending upon the car’s value and other factors,
it may be wise to add fire, theft, vandalism, or other non-collision
coverage.
Optional Towing, for when the vehicle is disabled by an accident.
