Fathers Day Fishing







For father’s day I was awakened around 5 am to my wife telling me “come on we have to go.”  I thought “what?”  She said “we have to go, so get dressed”.  So I got dressed and she takes me to my daughter’s house to have breakfast at 6 am, it was an awesome breakfast and all of my kids were there.  There also was a young man there that I mentored who is a friend of my son. After breakfast they gave me a card and said lets go and that they were taking me fishing up on the rim.  It was a great day spent with the kids. We fished in the heat of the day so the fishing wasn’t good, between six of us we caught one fish.  That’s how it goes with fishing, sometimes you catch fish and sometimes you don’t.  But one fact remains; as long as you’re fishing there is always a chance to catch one.

 

My job is to advise people on how much and which insurance they need.  One fact remains with auto insurance, as long as you are on the road, at some point you will be in an accident.  The question isn’t if, but when. When you have an accident what coverages do you want to have.  Are you worried about someone getting an attorney and going after your assets?  Are you worried about getting your car fixed?  Usually the first time clients get into an accident is when they learn what coverages they have or don’t have.  I like to say “know what your coverages are before you get into an accident”.

 

People want to just find the cheapest insurance possible; I understand this because all of us have a budget.  The problem with this approach is that a lot of times we expose ourselves to a great loss.  I encourage you to sit down with your agent to review, learn, and understand your policy and coverages

Why UM/UIM Insurance Coverage Is Important

Image
One of the most overlooked, but probably the most important coverage on your auto insurance is the UM/UIM coverage.   Why is it important?   UM/UIM coverage goes to cover your medical bills, rehabilitation, and loss of work if someone injures you in an auto accident and they don’t have insurance or enough liability insurance to cover your bills.     In AZ it is estimated that 12% of the people driving on the streets don’t have auto insurance according to an  insurancejournal.com report.   That is about the same as the national average.   On top of that there are a lot of people driving around with state minimum coverage or one step above state minimum.   If there is a major accident this coverage isn’t going to cover everything.         Just to give an example this story from azfamily.com is about a teacher whose son was hit in an auto accident.   He has had to stay in the hospital for a while and the medical bills, rehabilitation, and loss of work is going to get very expe

Have You Committed Insurance Fraud?

I’m an honest person so there’s no way that I would commit insurance fraud!!!!  That’s how most of us feel.  I know most people are honest and they wouldn’t think of doing something like insurance fraud.  Insurance fraud cost consumers about $40 billion a year according to FBI statistics .  That cost to every family in the U.S. $400 - $700 a year.  There are two types of fraud.  One is called hard insurance fraud and the other is soft insurance fraud.  Hard insurance fraud is committed by people that scheme against the insurance company for profit.  Some examples of this would be. 1.       Someone that files a theft claim and declare items stolen that weren’t. 2.       Setting fire to a vehicle to get the full payout.  3.       Someone that fakes an injury to be able to not work and get paid. 4.       Agent takes money for a policy but never issues the policy. 5.       Stage an accident to collect medical payments. Soft fraud is more common and people do it wit

Congratulations to the High School Graduates!!!!!   It’s that time of year that every high school is having their graduation ceremonies.   It’s an exciting time that the end of the year and primary schooling is done.   For some it is the beginning of their college years.   Not all kids and parents can afford to pay for the college up front.   Some have to take out student loans to fund their child’s college education.   Below are some thoughts as students prepare themselves this summer to attend college.          Life Insurance   Students for the most part are not in a position of having someone dependent on them.  But it’s a good idea to have some sort of life insurance for the following reasons.  1.       Any student loan that the parent co-signs could be a debt that would have to be paid in case of the death of the student. 2.       Having money for burial expenses in case of the death of the student.  3.       This will
