Illinois requires minimum liability coverage of $25,000/$50,000/$20,000. However, for Manhattan residents who travel both local roads and regional highways, we recommend higher limits ($100,000/$300,000/$100,000) to protect your family’s assets. According to the Insurance Information Institute, average auto liability claims now exceed $20,000—making state minimums insufficient protection in serious accidents.
Manhattan’s rural roads present unique accident risks including narrow lanes, blind curves, agricultural vehicles, and seasonal weather hazards. Collision coverage pays for vehicle repairs regardless of fault—essential protection when accidents occur on gravel roads or during icy winter conditions that affect Manhattan’s local routes.
Manhattan’s agricultural community and rural setting create specific comprehensive coverage needs:
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that rural areas experience higher rates of animal collisions. Comprehensive coverage with manageable deductibles ($250-500) ensures you’re not facing thousands in out-of-pocket repair costs after striking wildlife.
Even in close-knit communities like Manhattan, approximately 12% of drivers lack proper insurance. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage protects you and your family when at-fault drivers can’t pay for damages. This coverage is particularly valuable for Manhattan residents who travel to larger cities for work or shopping, where uninsured driver rates are statistically higher.
Medical payments coverage (MedPay) and personal injury protection (PIP) provide immediate funds for medical treatment after accidents, regardless of who’s at fault. For Manhattan families, this no-fault coverage ensures quick access to healthcare without waiting for liability determination—important when the nearest hospital may require travel time.
Manhattan’s small-town atmosphere and agricultural roots make it a special community. We understand the values that matter here—family, reliability, and personal service. Our agents provide the same neighborly approach Manhattan residents expect, with the professional expertise and carrier access of a well-established agency.
Manhattan’s agricultural heritage means regular interaction with tractors, combines, and farm equipment on local roads. While these slow-moving vehicles are a normal part of rural life, they create unique driving hazards. We discuss these risks and ensure your liability and collision coverage accounts for potential farm equipment incidents.
Manhattan families typically own multiple vehicles. Multi-car discounts save 10-25% when you insure all family vehicles with one carrier. We compare rates across all our partner carriers to find the best multi-vehicle package for your household.
Most Manhattan residents are homeowners with properties that may include outbuildings, workshops, or small agricultural operations. Bundling homeowners (or farm) insurance with auto insurance typically saves 15-30% on both policies while providing coordinated coverage that eliminates gaps.
Manhattan’s strong school system produces many high-achieving students. Teen drivers with B averages or better qualify for good student discounts of 10-25%, significantly reducing the cost of adding young drivers to your policy.

If you are new to Hicks Insurance, you probably have some questions. Let's help you get some answers.
If you cause an accident, be prepared to pay your deductible. After you’ve done that, your insurance company should pay the remaining costs, including damages or medical expenses you caused to other parties involved.
Your business insurance needs are as unique as your business itself. While all businesses need certain types of coverage—general liability, business property, and workers’ compensation, for example—your other needs hinge on your type of business. If, for example, you use vehicles in your line of work, you need business auto insurance. Similarly, businesses that manufacture a product should consider product liability insurance. Talk to your agent to determine your exact needs.
