Spring Hill Insurance

Bauknight Insurance has been in business for a long time on the West Coast of Florida. Initially my father started an agency in St. Petersburg Florida, sold it and moved to Weeki Wachee, Florida in 1980. He opened a small office in Hudson and I joined his agency around 1983, fresh from college with a baby on the way. Soon I opened my own agency in Spring Hill, serving all of Hernando and Citrus County with low rates for auto and homeowner insurance, and major companies through the years such as Mercury, Progressive, GMAC, Southern Guaranty, Hartford, A Geico subsidiary called Southern Heritage, AIG Insurance, and many others.

13 years ago my father retired and I bought his agency from him and he lived out his remaining years thankfully not seeing the collapse of the Insurance market on the West Coast of Florida. During multi-decades of being in business in Pasco and Hernando counties, we have seen our clients through floods, tornadoes, the terrible no-name storm, multiple hurricanes, fires, and every conceivable loss imaginable. We have acted in times of tragedy as adjusters, measuring roofs and writing checks to clients on the spot when we were able. We have also endured the sinkhole epidemic and watched as tens of thousands of clients in this region of Florida have been non-renewed due to the poor market conditions in Florida and the unique problems of this area.

This blog will attempt to provide information, news, and commentary about being an Insurance Consumer in this region of Florida and about issues that effect you and effect your agent. We welcome not just our thousands of clients but all insurance consumers to folow our blog and comment when they feel compelled.

I hope these posts are informative and helpful. I am not an apologist for the Insurance Industry, nor am I here to criticize everything the Insurance Companies do. We have all had it pretty hard in Florida, from the Insurance Consumer to the agent to the Insurance Companies.

As for Bauknight Insurance, we specialize in providing property and Casualty Insurance for everyone regardless of claim history, or in the case of Auto Insurance, regardless of Driving record, claim history and credit score. We want to help everyone we can and we desire the ones we can't to leave knowing we tried our best.

You can reach us by visiting our website at http://www.bauknightinsurance.com/ or by calling us at 352-686-0612. The next time your renewal comes up, give us a try.

  1. I don't think there are many sinkholes where I live in Hernando Beach.

  2. There have been some, and certainly the aquifer and Karst system extends not only to the coast but even offshore. There are springs boiling water ofshore of both counties under discussion. However, the majority of the claims in Hernando County have been up on the sand ridge we call Spring Hill. If you look in the article I posted called about Sinkholes there is a map of where the claims are concentrated. Thanks for the comment.

  3. This post is well written and informative. I don't comment often, but it doesn't cost me anything to say it when its true.
