Services
As a business owner, you need the same kinds of insurance coverages for the car you use in your business as you do for a car used for personal travel -- liability, collision and comprehensive, medical payments (known as personal injury protection in some states) and coverage for uninsured motorists.
What kinds of health insurance are there? There are essentially two kinds of heath insurance: Fee-for-Service and Managed Care. Although these plans differ, they both cover an array of medical, surgical and hospital expenses. Most cover prescription drugs and some also offer dental coverage. These plans generally assume that the medical professional will be paid a fee for each service provided to the patient.
What is auto insurance? Auto insurance protects you against financial loss if you have an accident. It is a contract between you and the insurance company. You agree to pay the premium and the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as defined in your policy. Liability coverage pays for your legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property damage.
Because everyone's needs are not the same, it is best to consult your agent to help assess your needs and find the insurance policy that is right for you. What is Homeowners insurance? Homeowners insurance provides financial protection against disasters. A standard policy insures the home itself and the things you keep in it.
Should you have an emergency during non-business hours, you can call your insurance company directly. Please contact our office directly with questions, or to report a death or disability claim. During business hours, you can reach us by phone 708 597-2800 (option 6), or please feel free to email us.

We were in a troublesome situation with our company policy. I was referred to Jonathan Mayotte. He was able to get us the insurance we wanted at a rate which was within the deal budget. This was amazing news to our team and we'll refer Thornton Powell and Jon's help to any organiation and individual.

Mike Vita is the best!! Such personalized services and you can tell he really cares about his clients. I am incredibly forgetful (I blame Mom brain) and Mike is so great about following up and keeping me/my business on his radar. I feel so well taken care of and I never worry about something bad happening at my business because I know Mike and Thorntonpowell will have my back. Highly recommend!!

We at Cardenas Construction have been serviced by this insurance company since we started the corporation and they have been very good with all of our needs.
As a matter of fact, we recommend many of the subs we work with to get their WC and GL insurance with them.
Keep up the good work and service that you provide!

Working with T&P is like having an extension of my office. They work diligently to get us the best possible deal, with the best possible companies. Anytime we run into difficulties, I give them a call, and they work to get a resolution.

The word that best describes Bill Zerinskas is trustworthy. When I met Bill almost four years ago he worked for another company however from the first time I met him until now as my husband and I have followed Bill to Thornton Powell Financial Services I tell him often, I trust you. In the line of business he is in, I believe that word is extremely important. The trust has been built because Bill is an astute listener, sincerely respects and cares about his clients and makes solid recommendations for the services needed and that Thornton Powell offers.
We think so highly of Bill that we recommended

I have used the services of ThonrtonPowell for about the past 3 years for my auto (motorcycle included) and home insurance. My wife and I unfortunately had to file a claim when our basement was damaged. The entire team at ThorntonPowell made the entire process smooth and very easy on us. We look forward to being life long customers!

This is Kevin Insalato at California Flooring. We started our business in 1993 and our first and only insurance company has been Thornton & Powell. My agent is Mike and my service Rep is Erin Draves. They take great care of my business and my people. Greg Powell does a spectacular job and with John Thornton as a partner, I know our business is in Safe Hands. Thanks T & P for all your help.
