Recently, I read about a car accident where a driver damaged nine vehicles and sent several people to the hospital. The news is full of such stories. Just like you…they never really thought it would happen to them.

No one can predict when or how severe an accident might be, so there isn’t a simple answer to the question…How much protection is “enough?”

With accidents, we often think about property damage first. Still, it’s liability for bodily injury that presents the greatest threat to your financial future, given the possibility of a judgment that could be hundreds of thousands of dollars or even in the millions. Unfortunately, many people don’t have enough protection.

We don’t want to see you in such a situation without protection, so we recommend purchasing the highest amount of bodily injury coverage you can afford. Our professionals are committed to providing you with the best insurance value by looking for discount opportunities and maximizing your coverage based on your budget.

I’m confident that a mega-insurance company (and some others) aren’t as concerned as we are about you having the proper protection. We’re your neighbor, which makes it personal. If you haven’t Contacted Us recently to review your coverage, please call us about protection options. Never risk a lot for a little!

Ice Dams: A Winter Challenge for Homeowners

Read our blog post, Ice Dams: A Winter Challenge for Homeowners for some great tips on preventing ice dams and what to do in the case of ice dams on your roof. Ice dams are more than just an inconvenience—they can cause significant damage to your home. While prevention is the best strategy, ice dams can still form despite your efforts, so having a response plan is crucial. Ice dams occur when attic air warms to above freezing, causing snow on the roof to melt. As the water runs down the roof and reaches the colder edges, it refreezes, creating an ice dam. These dams block water from draining off the roof, causing it to pool and seep under shingles, into the attic, or along exterior walls.
