You might be wondering, So, what exactly will this blog be about? Don’t worry we won’t bore you with lengthy descriptions of insurance coverage and contract language. There are plenty of other places where you can get that information if you want it. Insurance isn’t a hot topic for most people, but everyone wants to be covered if something happens.

This blog will highlight interesting and helpful information about how insurance connects with your life…whether it’s personal, business, or both. We want to simplify insurance and offer honest guidance to help you make better auto, home, business, and life insurance decisions. We’ll share insights on protection issues, provide updates, and dispel common misconceptions. Our goal is to keep it fresh and relevant.

What separates us from other insurance providers is our knowledgeable, committed, and caring team. Hopefully, you’ll get a better sense of the people that make up Murphy Insurance Agency as you read posts sharing ideas and opinions from different members of our staff. To mix it up, we may even have guest bloggers from time to time.

We often say here at the agency that “for us, business is always personal.” It’s about having conversations and creating relationships. Your comments and opinions are important to us, and we hope you’ll share them. Protect your privacy, and don’t share detailed personal information on our blog.  Also, remember that our blog isn’t intended to offer specific advice about your insurance needs.

We’re excited about this new endeavor and look forward to connecting with you and providing a different view of Murphy Insurance.

So…stay tuned.

From contractors and manufacturers to auto shops, property owners, and agricultural businesses, many industries face hidden pollution exposures. Without this protection, a single spill, leak, or contamination event could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
