The holidays have
officially arrived! And for many of us
that means shopping, gifting, decorating, partying, and traveling. And a whole lot of it!
Insurance agents
are always on the look out for things that might put our clients at risk. That’s why I wanted to share a few quick
reminders this month to make sure you avoid any potential claim
situations.
1. Be careful with a live Christmas
tree. Real trees are beautiful but can
be hazardous. Water your tree daily and
turn the lights off at night and when you won’t be home to avoid a house fire.
2. Don’t leave gifts in your car! A lot of people don’t realize that items in
their car are NOT covered by auto insurance.
While property off premises is covered by home and renters insurance, it
is typically subject to a much higher deductible. If you must leave anything in the car, put it
in the trunk and lock the doors.
3. Traveling out of town? Don’t make it too obvious! Leave lights on in the house, stop your mail,
and leave your number with a trustworthy neighbor who will keep an eye on your
home.
4. Make sure to keep an updated insurance
card in your car when you travel. Not
only is it good to have if you get pulled over, but all the information you
need is in one place if you were to have a claim.
5. Have a billing or claims emergency and can't and need to contact your company? No problem. We've listed all of our companies on our Facebook page, just click here Our Companies
6. Received some special jewelry for
Christmas? Make sure to call us! We’ll review all of your options to make sure
it is properly covered and protected.
And most
important? Have a safe and joy-filled
holiday!
Merry Christmas
from all of us at van den Heuvel & Fountain!
