Riskado helps you understand an insurance question and find a local insurance agency to talk to. We are an independent information site and directory, not an insurer, agency or broker, and we do not sell insurance or give quotes.
From arriesgado, risky. We help you cover the risk.
Start with whatever brought you here. If you have a question about a policy, a term or a claim, go to the insurance guides. If you want to talk to someone nearby, go straight to the agency directory. If you run an agency, the agency page covers listings and marketing.
A good insurance guide starts with the question you actually have, such as what a term on your policy means, what to ask before you sign, or what to do after a loss. Our insurance guides are written around those questions, one topic at a time.
When a detail depends on your policy, the guide turns it into a question for your agency or insurer, because only the policy itself can say what is covered. That keeps the answer you take away tied to your own paperwork.
Your homeowners dwelling limit follows the cost to rebuild, not market value. See how the 80 percent rule, other limits, lenders and exclusions shape it.
Start with what the law, your lease, contracts or lender require, then look at general liability, property, professional liability and a BOP. See what can wait.
An independent agent can sell for several insurers, a captive agent for one. See who each represents, how each is paid, and what to ask before you choose.
Replacement cost pays to repair or replace without subtracting depreciation; actual cash value subtracts it. See worked examples, plus roof and car rules.
Your state sets the legal floor, a lender can require more and your own assets shape the rest. See what limits like 25/50/25 mean and what to ask an agent.
Choosing an agency
An agency can be a good place to ask the questions a guide raises, since an agent can look at your actual situation. Before you call, write down what you want to understand: which coverage you are asking about, what the policy would need to cover, and what you want explained in more detail.
Confirm licensing, coverage availability and policy details directly with the agency or your state insurance department. Every listing in the directory is informational, and a listing is not an endorsement. Sponsored placements are labeled "Sponsored," so you can always tell them apart from ordinary listings.
For agencies
If you own or manage an agency, the directory gives you a place to show up when someone nearby is looking for an agent. You can verify and claim your listing, review the directory plans and look at marketing services built for agencies, including web design, search engine optimization, online reputation and video marketing.
Everything for agency owners lives on the for agencies page. If you want to see how your agency appears today, search for it in the directory first, then claim the listing from there.

All state guidesInsurance rules are set state by state, so a question about required coverage, claims timelines or consumer protections often has a different answer depending on where you live. Our state insurance guides give each state its own tile and its own set of answers.
Choose your state to read guides written for it. If your state has a local agency directory, you can go there from the state's guide.
Type your town or ZIP code and see agencies listed near you, with their contact details. The agency directory lets you start with a place you know and work toward a conversation with someone who can look at your policy.
Each listing shows how to reach the agency, so you can call, email or visit to ask your questions. Directory results are informational, and sponsored placements carry the "Sponsored" label.
Enter your town or ZIP code in the agency directory to see agencies nearby. Open a listing for contact details, then call or write to ask what coverage the agency can help with.
Your state insurance department keeps a license lookup for agents and companies. Search the agent's name there before you share personal details or sign anything.
Start with your policy and the claims number on it, then contact your agent or insurer to ask what steps and deadlines apply to your claim. Our insurance guides cover claims topics to help you prepare your questions.
Yes. Agency owners can verify an existing listing, claim it and review the available directory plans on the for agencies page. If you need help with a listing, send a note through the contact page.
