Do You Need A Scheduled Article Floater?

Almost all of your personal property is insured under your homeowner's policy; however, most valuables have sublimit that leave might you severely underinsured. We are talking about; jewelry, guns, cameras, silverware, chins, sporting equipment, art, coin collections, wine, and other expensive items. The best way to protect your valuables is through a scheduled articles floater.
​
A scheduled articles floater is either a separate policy or a rider added to your homeowner's policy, depending on your carrier. A scheduled articles floater itemizes valuable items on your homeowner's policy and extends the policy's coverage to the items.
Why You Need The Coverage?
Typically, your homeowner's policy will cover your valuable items anywhere from $500 to $2500 and may include a deductible without any schedule; depending on the insurer. With a scheduled articles floater you can obtain coverage up to the replacement value of the item. Insurers will ask for a bill of sale or appraisal to verify the replacement value.

The primary reason why you should choose to purchase a scheduled articles floater is that it offers additional coverage not provided in your "normal" coverage. Accidental loss or damage is a coverage included under the personal articles floater. A missing stone in an engagement dropped down the drain or lost at the beach, would be typically be covered under a personal articles floater.

Make Halloween Safe for Everyone
In the next few days, we will be watching children scramble from house to house in search of the elusive Halloween treat.  However, keeping our kids safe as they are out Halloween night is always a concern.  A little pre-planning can prevent unfortunate accidents that could turn out to be tragic.  Remember, your homeowner’s insurance will cover you in most cases should someone trip and fall on your premises.
​
Here are some pointers for ensuring your house is a safe place for trick-or-treaters on Oct. 31.
  • Provide healthier treats for trick-or-treaters such as low-calorie treats and drinks. For your guests, offer a variety of fruits and vegetables.
  • Be sure walking areas and stairs are well-lit and free of obstacles that could cause someone to fall.
  • Keep candle-lit jack o'lanterns and luminaries away from doorsteps, walkways, landings, and curtains. Place them on sturdy tables, keep them out of the reach of pets and small children, and never leave them unattended.
  • Remind drivers to watch out for trick-or-treaters and to drive safely.
 
Safety tips for kids
  • Never, ever, go into a house.
  • Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping and falling
  • An adult or an older responsible child should always accompany young children. Even older children should go trick-or-treating with an adult, or with friends.  Never go out alone.
  • Only go to homes with a porch light on.
  • Plan costumes that are bright and reflective.
  • Do not eat homemade food.
  • Examine all candy.  If it has been opened, toss it out.
  • Use a flashlight.
 
 Safety Tips for Motorists
  • Watch for children walking on roadways, medians, and curbs.
  • Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully.
  • Turn your lights on.
  • At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing.

Picture
Many people believe that they have little or no control over their homeowner’s insurance.  Often, people think that premiums are determined by some “secret formula.”  It is true that every company has rates for their homeowner’s premiums, but there are many factors that help make up your homeowner’s premiums.
Factors that help determine your Seattle homeowner’s premiums
  • Location
  • Age of home
  • Age of roof
  • The replacement cost
  • Distance to fire station
Get the best possible homeowner’s premiums
  • Install deadbolt locks.
  • Increase your deductible.
  • Some insurers offer occupational discounts for teachers, police, firefighters, government employees, etc.
  • Install a central station security system.
  • Your agent can help you evaluate the different policies and companies so you can make the choice this is right for you.
  • Ask for other discounts offered by your insurer.
  • Make sure your replacement cost is up to date.
  • Do you have replacement cost or actual cash value (ACV) coverage?  We recommend replacement cost.
  • Do you need loss of use coverage? Most homeowners and renters do.

Motorcycle Insurance And Safety Myths Corrected

Motorcycle Study
​

Motorcycle riders often get an unjustified reputation as being reckless, risk takers, and that they generally disobey traffic laws. This perception is unfounded and there are many statistics that back up the fact that most motorcycle accidents are not the fault of the motorcycle rider, but that of another driver.

A recent study conducted by the University of Southern California (USC) found that approximately three-fourths of motorcycle accidents involved a collision with another vehicle. The study also found that the driver of the other vehicle violated the motorcyclist’s right-of-way, thus causing the accident. These findings confirm that motorcycle riders have unjustly received a bad reputation from the general public.  Motorcycles are inherently prone to accidents caused by other drivers because of their small size. Motorcycles easily fit into the blind spot of typical passenger automobiles. The truth is that most motorcycle riders are very good drivers and keep an eye out for motorists who do not see them.

Motorcycle Insurance
Construct the motorcycle insurance package that’s right for you with a variety of coverages including:
  • Bodily Injury Liability
  • Collision Coverage
  • Comprehensive Coverage
  • Medical Payments
 
With options ranging from basic liability insurance all the way up to full coverage with protection for additional custom parts and equipment, there is a policy for virtually every rider.
