I know... At this point, you may be thinking:
But trust me: making the effort to be an informed insurance consumer is important. I see the results of coverage gaps, and underinsurance every day, in my work as a public insurance adjuster.

Yes, your insurance policy is a contract. Treat it like one!
Would you agree that it's probably a good idea to read, and review a contract, before you sign it? Well, many people have never read their Homeowners, Commercial, or Businessowners policies, and those are all contracts. Today, is a great day to start that habit!
Have you ever read your entire policy?
- Yes! I read my entire policy every year.
- Sort of, I do review the summary packet and dec. page.
- No. It's challenging to understand; didn't know to read it.
