FOMO helped me do the right thing for my clients

4/20/2022

I am an early adopter of technology but for over a decade I couldn’t be convinced that my clients needed another app on their smartphones to reach their agents. I tried to keep an open mind however, I just didn’t find the top reasons for an app compelling. ​

“UNINTERRUPT” MY BUSINESS INTERRUPTION

2/20/2022

Female businesswoman looking at the window
Hey business owner. You’re running a business; your concern is finally going but suddenly it gets interrupted by an event. An unexpected event like smoke rising up into your clothing store renders all the clothes unsellable at least not unless you foot the ridiculous dry cleaning bill which forces you to change the price tags from new to used. Fire may have started at a business close by but we all know smoke rises.

As much of the United States convulses in response to the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in the custody of Minneapolis police officers, it’s some comfort to know that property damage caused by rioting, civil commotion and vandalism are covered under standard insurance policies, says Loretta Worters, vice president, media relations for the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.).
​

Here is an overview of the different kinds of policies and coverage that may be involved in any claims. Insured that don’t have the right kind of coverage now can use this information to discuss options with an insurance agent or broker.

After hurricane Florence floods recede, the journey to restoration begins.

Rethink “Water Back” Up on Your Policy

2/6/2017

Picture
​Insurance! Its that thing you wish you had when the unexpected happens by way of loss or damage to your personal property. Policies are typically designed to cover many things while at the same time specific language in the policy excludes coverage for other things. Policies are typically summarized with words, including terminologies that need to be defined in the definition section and of course specific numbers.

Workers Compensation Not Just For Employees.

8/9/2015

Picture
​So one of your employees is taking out the garbage. He/she has done this countless times. Pulls the bags up the basement access, up the sidewalk access and onto the street, except that last friday on the way up, the basement access door suddenly slams on his/her right hand and just like that, you have an employee injury on your hands. Your employee suffers three broken fingers (middle, ring and pinky). Sounds like fiction? Think again. I do this everyday.

And Its Your 150th Birthday…Congratulations!

​According to the Bible account, in the book of Genesis, Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, besides Cain and Abel, lived till age 912.  I can’t seem to wrap my mind around living through multiple centuries. 912 looks more like a house number to me than the age of a living breathing human being, but maybe we are not too far off today. Consider Aubrey de Grey, a molecular biologist who has proposed that all we need do is tackle the physical deterioration among other things and we may live till age 1000, a scientific journey that he is personally on. Now imagine that birthday cake!

​If you live in the city or listen to the news you will hear and read scores of headlines about rent stabilized apartments and the impending rent increases with the expiration of the existing law. The homes of many New Yorkers hangs in the balance and the seriousness has been stressed by both the Governor Cuomo and the City’s Mayor De Blassio who’s exact words were “a failure to renew the rent regulations would be an “end to New York City as we have known it.”
