Cyber liability insurance is like an alarm system. Most people don't buy it until something bad happens.

We buy an alarm AFTER a break in. We buy the cyber coverage AFTER we get hacked.

We've all heard about local scams. We've heard about the Springfield school systems.

We recommend buying the protection NOW. Before that bad thing happens. Cyber claims are happening every day, to small, local businesses and large corporations.

You know those mailers you get directly from insurance companies? Yeah... we get them too. I got one from Allstate recently, a very small player in the state of Mass.

The problem? The picture was 14 years old. No detached garage. No pool. Wrong square footage. The didn't know of any incidental business.

Yet they were happy to give me am 'estimated' premium and tell me how much they could save me. All based on publicly available information, which we all know, is often wrong.

And that's what a lot of insurance companies are doing these days: Fast? Absolutely. Accurate? Nope. Personal? Not really. They don't live or work in our communities.

At Bell and Hudson, we think there's a better way to insure your biggest asset.

Call us first. We'll give it to you straight.

Do you want to buy insurance? Or do you want to be covered when something bad happens? There's a difference.

As August wraps up, take a moment to think about what changed this month.

Did you send a student to college? Buy school electronics? Change driving routines? Add outdoor equipment? Make home updates? Start or grow a business?

Insurance works best when it keeps up with real life. Before September begins, make sure your coverage still fits your household, property, and plans.

Insurance term of the day: coverage limits.

Your coverage limit is the maximum amount your policy may pay for a covered claim. If repair costs, replacement costs, or liability expenses exceed that amount, you may be responsible for the difference.

That’s why it’s important to review limits regularly — especially if you’ve made home upgrades, bought valuables, or experienced major life changes.

Not sure if your limits still make sense? Bell & Hudson can help you take a closer look.

September can bring unpredictable weather in New England, from heavy rain to wind and late-summer storms. Before the month changes, take a few steps to prepare.

✔️ Secure patio furniture and umbrellas
✔️ Clean gutters and drains
✔️ Trim weak branches
✔️ Check sump pumps
✔️ Review what your policy covers for wind, water, and storm damage

Preparation is easier before the forecast gets serious.
