Basic Truths To Consider When Buying Insurance
These Truths Apply To Personal And Business Insurance
One of the most important things to consider when considering your personal or business insurance is, “What is the purpose, or goal, of having insurance in the first place?” If you want insurance to cover every broken window, theft of a lawn mower, or $500 medical bill, then you will pay more for the coverage.

In other words, losses that will affect your long term--not ruin your day.
