As families get ready for a new school year, we want to help keep students safe no matter how they get to campus. Here are a few quick reminders from our team at Dotterer Insurance:

Walking to school? Encourage kids to use sidewalks, cross at marked crosswalks, and make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the road.

Riding a bike? A properly fitted helmet is essential. Remind them to ride with traffic, stop fully before crossing, and choose routes with lighter traffic when possible.

Taking the bus? Students should stay back from the curb, wait for the bus to stop completely, and never walk around a bus without making eye contact with the driver.

Getting dropped off? Follow school zone speed limits, stick to your school’s drop-off procedures, and never pass a bus that’s loading or unloading.

Teen drivers? A quick safety refresher goes a long way. Seatbelts for everyone, phones put away, and always follow the speed limit.

Our team is here if you need guidance on auto insurance, teen driver coverage, or any personal insurance questions. Reach out anytime — we’re always happy to help protect what matters most.

With hurricane season underway here in the Southeast, our team at Dotterer Insurance wants to remind homeowners how important it is to review your personal insurance before a storm is on the radar.

A few key areas to look over:

• Hurricane deductibles – Some home insurance policies include a separate hurricane deductible based on a percentage of your home’s insured value. Make sure you understand what triggers it and what your out-of-pocket cost would be.

• Flood and windstorm coverage – Flood damage usually requires a separate flood insurance policy, and certain windstorm losses may not be covered under standard homeowners policies. Reviewing these details now can help prevent costly surprises.

• Filing claims – Before a storm, document your home’s current condition. Afterward, take photos and videos of any damage before cleanup begins and save receipts for repairs.

Our team is here to walk through your home insurance, identify gaps, and help you strengthen your coverage before the next storm rolls in. Have questions about your policy or want to explore additional protection? Reach out anytime.

Cyber threats like ransomware, phishing, and vendor outages are disrupting businesses more than ever. These incidents can shut down operations, impact revenue, and damage your reputation — and the financial fallout continues to climb every year.

Not sure how your current policy would respond in a cyber event? We can review your options and help ensure your business has the right protection in place.

Growth is exciting, but it also changes your insurance needs in ways that aren’t always obvious. When you open a new location or add new services, your risk profile shifts — and your existing policy may not reflect those changes.

A second office, a new warehouse, or an expanded service line can introduce new property or liability exposures that need to be accounted for. Our team at Dotterer Insurance is here to make sure your coverage grows right alongside your business.

If you’ve expanded your footprint or offerings this year, now is a great time to review your policy. Give us a call and let’s make sure you’re fully protected with coverage you can count on.

Ever hand your keys to a friend or borrowed someone else’s car and wondered what happens if there’s an accident? It’s a common question — and the answer isn’t always as simple as people think.

In most cases, auto insurance follows the vehicle first. That means the owner’s policy typically steps in before the driver’s. But there are exceptions, and knowing how your coverage applies can make a big difference.

Our team at Dotterer Insurance is here to help you understand when the vehicle owner’s policy applies, when the driver’s policy matters, and how to make sure you’re protected either way.

If you’d like us to review your auto insurance or explore additional coverage options, we’re always happy to take a look. Give us a call anytime — we’re here to be a resource for you.
