Avoid Unnecessary Home Insurance Claims

Preventing common home insurance claim events.

If you are like most homeowners, then you want to save as much as possible when it comes to your home insurance.  The best way to keep your insurance costs down is by avoiding claims.  Here are some of the most common home insurance claims and what you can do to avoid them.

  • Theft and Vandalism

Many homeowners are forced to file insurance claims after their home is broken into or vandalized.  To prevent your home and belongings from being damaged or stolen, you should install a security system to deter criminals.  Installing bright outdoor lighting and surveillance cameras is another way to keep criminals away.  Finally, make sure you close and secure all points of entry, so burglars and vandals do not have an easy way to get into your home.

  • Roof Leak and Collapse

If your roof begins to leak or collapses completely, then this will be a pricey insurance claim.  To prevent this claim event, you should keep up with basic roof maintenance, such a routine gutter cleaning and shingle replacement.  You should also be sure to remove dead limbs and trim overgrown branches on the trees that overhang your home’s roof.  This will prevent your trees from causing roof damage during a windy or stormy day.

  • Fire

Home fires are one of the most common and devastating damage events that a homeowner can face.  In homes, cooking equipment is the leading cause of fire.  However, fires can also break out due to faulty lighting fixtures, malfunctioning appliances, overheated electronics, and so on.  Smoke detectors are one of the best fire prevention tools, and homeowners are advised to have a working detector installed in every room and floor of the home.  You should also keep a fire extinguisher on every floor of your home and, most importantly, in your kitchen.  This ensures that you can quickly put out a fire before it spreads.

This is how you can prevent these common claim events.  Do you have questions about your homeowners insurance?  If so, then contact the experts at James Page Insurance.  We are ready to assist you with all your home coverage needs today.

How to Determine the Right Amount of Auto Insurance Coverage for You

What to think about when setting your car insurance coverage limits.

With all the auto insurance options out there, setting your car coverage limits can be challenging.  Because many drivers get overwhelmed by the process, they settle for their state’s insurance minimums.  Unfortunately, state minimums will do very little to protect you in an accident.  To ensure that you are securing an adequate amount of coverage, here are some of the things to consider.

Car insurance is designed to protect your finances in the event of an accident, particularly when you are found at fault.  However, carrying insufficient auto insurance defeats the whole purpose of the coverage.  While you might have enough coverage to be considered legal, state minimums, which are tied to bodily injury and property damage of others, are rarely enough to address the full cost of an auto accident.  Once your car coverage runs out, it will be up to you to cover remaining expenses out-of-pocket.  If you do not have enough money saved, then assets such as your home, retirement account, personal property and so on, are at risk. Rather than leaving yourself vulnerable to this threat, it’s much smarter and safer to secure adequate auto insurance coverage from the start.

Unfortunately, there is no universal standard for the amount of auto insurance coverage you should purchase.  Every driver has their own risk factors and needs, which affects the amount of coverage they need to carry.  The best way to determine your ideal coverage amount is by using a car insurance calculator tool or speaking with a trusted insurance professional.  By factoring in your risks, assets, and budget, you can find the right coverage to meet your needs.

This is why it’s so important to have the right amount of car insurance coverage.  Are you looking for further assistance with your auto insurance?  If so, then contact the experts at James Page Insurance.  We are ready to assist you with all your car coverage needs today.
