Insurance in Springfield: the local picture

Folks around Springfield know we've got a good thing going with our low cost of living and affordable housing, but as your local agent, I'm always reminding clients about the unique risks we face right here in Robertson County. We're directly in the path of some serious weather, and anyone who's lived through a Middle Tennessee spring knows that hail and tornadoes, like that EF-2 that’s impacted the Springfield vicinity, are real threats. That means robust homeowners and commercial property policies aren't just a good idea—they're essential. We’ve got to make sure our coverage, especially for wind and hail, is solid, because standard policies won't always cut it after a major storm.

Then there's the water. With Sulphur Fork Creek nearby and properties marked by First Street Foundation for flood exposure, flood insurance is a non-negotiable for many, whether you're living in one of our charming historic homes in the Springfield Historic Preservation District or a newer build. It's easy to overlook until it's too late, but a standard policy simply doesn't cover flood damage. For our businesses, from TriStar NorthCrest Medical Center to the big operations like Kroger Manufacturing, Owens Corning, and the Electrolux Home Products Plant, property insurance is critical, but so are things like business interruption coverage. If a major weather event or other unforeseen issue takes them offline, that coverage keeps our local economy stable.

Our local economy is supported by these key employers and institutions like Robertson County Schools and TCAT Springfield Campus. While we’re focused on economic development, the recent job market decrease reminds us that every business, regardless of size, needs comprehensive liability and workers' compensation coverage to protect their operations and their people. Even with affordable rent, protecting what you have in Springfield, from your home to your livelihood, means being smart about insurance, especially against the elements we know all too well.
