It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David Gordon, President of Gordon Companies.

David had an incredible 60-year career in the insurance industry, which he began at the age of 18 when he received his insurance agent license. In December 1968, he founded Gordon Companies, which remains a family-run business based in New York City.

David worked alongside his wife, Vice President Goldie Gordon, and their son, Aaron Gordon, who also serves as Vice President.

Close client relationships were essential to David, and he would always take the opportunity to speak to clients directly.

David's legacy lives on through the Gordon Companies, and his dedication to putting clients first will continue to be at the forefront of the agency's values.

Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Gordon Companies has joined the Armadillo family as one of their first agents!

Coinsurance and copays are both important terms for understanding the costs of health insurance.

A copay is a set rate you pay for prescriptions, doctor visits, and other types of care.

Coinsurance is the percentage of costs you pay after you've met your deductible.

Employment practices liability insurance (or EPLI) covers the risk of having to payout such claims. EPLI policies often cover the business itself, as well as individuals like company directors.

Employment practices and liability insurance policies are usually written to cover cases that come out of unintentional actions (or failures to act) rather than deliberate acts of discrimination or other wrongful practice.

I encourage you to take some time out of your day to make sure that your winter checklist for your home has been completed because any bit of risk management can go a long way.

Today I announced on my personal page, Aaron Gordon, that my new motto for the year would be "Growth Only Comes in Failure."

As a business, this doesn't necessarily mean you have to fail in order to grow. But it means we have to enter the area/zone of failure to give ourselves the opportunity to fail so that we can grow the most!

In 2022 we will still put our client's needs first and be willing and ready to help you at the time of a loss. Thank you, and Happy New Year!

Actual Cash Value is today's term to know! Actual Cash Value is the amount equal to the replacement cost minus the depreciation of damaged property at the time of loss.

You've probably heard of the term replacement cost value, but do you know what it means?

The replacement cost value is the cost it takes to replace after a loss with comparable material and quality used for the same purpose.

We love to see our clients happy! We put our clients' needs first no matter what. Day or night we'll make our best efforts to be there for you!

Umbrella insurance has an unusual name, but it’s a simple concept–it’s an extra liability policy for added peace of mind.

You would usually get umbrella insurance when your main insurance policy has liability coverage limits that are too low for your needs. Umbrella insurance will only pay when your main policy has already paid out in full, and it will only pay out the remainder of your costs.

Talk with us about adding a cost-effective umbrella insurance policy to your account. It’s easy and provides the additional protection needed to protect you and your family.

When you rent or lease, your landlord’s insurance usually only protects the building itself — not your personal belongings.

Your vacation property is an amazing getaway from the daily grind, but it comes with unique risks.

The general principles of vacation home insurance are the same as homeowners insurance. However, there are two differences. One is that a vacation home is more likely to be unattended for extended periods, increasing the risk of burglary as well as both the risk of and potential damage from fires or flooding.

On the other hand, coverage limits will often be lower at a seasonal or secondary home, simply because you likely keep fewer and less valuable possessions in a vacation property, particularly when it is unattended.

These two factors make it worth taking the time to find a vacation home insurance policy that provides you with the specific coverage you need at a fair price. We’ll help guide the way.

Environmental concerns continue to be a leading societal and business risk issue, sometimes posing serious unexpected challenges.

Key Man Life insurance can keep your business afloat in the event of the death of any employee who is an integral asset to the company’s survival.

Where ordinary life insurance compensates a person’s financial dependents for loss of income, key man life insurance is all about the costs a business faces when the person dies. It’s best suited for staff who are so vital to the company’s operations that it could struggle to survive without them.

If you think this might be a good fit for your business, let us know. We can walk you through your options.

If the insurance company pays for repairs after a collision, classic car insurance will often guarantee to pay for necessary and authentic parts that might be excluded or exceed coverage limits with an ordinary car insurance policy.

One note of caution, however: many classic car insurance policies only apply to limited usage, whether that’s a specified (low) annual mileage, or only covering trips to exhibitions and parades rather than everyday driving.

Be sure to connect with us to discuss the details of classic car insurance, collector car insurance, or antique car insurance. We can help to find the right policy for you!
