Insurance FAQs
The most common questions South Shore families and businesses ask about auto, home, and business insurance — answered in plain language. If you're not sure what a term means, what a policy covers, or what Massachusetts requires, the FAQ is a practical place to start.
Not Sure Where to Start? Our Team Can Point You in the Right Direction.
If you've landed here because something just happened and you're not sure what to do next, call us directly. We answer the phone during business hours — no automated tree, no extended hold — and we can tell you exactly what step comes first for your situation.
If you're doing research before a purchase or reviewing your current coverage, a free insurance review is a practical next step. We look at what you have, what it actually covers, and whether there are better options available across our carriers.
Where can I find the Massachusetts crash report form?
The Massachusetts crash report (operator's report) is available through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. Our claims assistance page walks through when it's required and how to complete it. Our team can also help you file it directly — call us after an accident and we'll guide you through the process.
How do I file an insurance claim in Massachusetts?
The process depends on the type of claim and your carrier, but the first step is always to contact your agency. We assist Hanson Insurance Agency clients through every stage of a claim — from the initial report through carrier communication and resolution. Visit our claims assistance page or call us directly after an incident.
Does Hanson Insurance Agency offer RMV services in their office?
Yes. We offer on-site RMV services at our Hanson office at 632 County Road. Visit our RMV services page to see which registry transactions we can process without a separate trip to the registry.
What does commercial insurance for a South Shore independent agency cover?
As an independent agency and Trusted Choice member, we access multiple commercial carriers to build coverage packages across general liability, workers comp, commercial auto, commercial property, professional liability, garage liability, and BOP. Coverage is structured around your business type, your industry requirements, and your actual exposure — not a one-size commercial package.
Your Business Deserves a Coverage Review, Not Just a Renewal
South Shore businesses have trusted Hanson Insurance Agency with their commercial coverage since 1979. If your business has grown, taken on new work, added vehicles, or simply renewed the same policy for the last several years without anyone reviewing it, a free business insurance review is the right next step.
