🎃 Insurance Myths That Refuse to Die 🕸️
It’s spooky season — and some of the most haunting things we hear aren’t ghost stories, they’re insurance myths 👻
Here are 5 that creep up every year (and why they’re dead wrong):
✅ “No flood risk? No flood insurance needed.”
→ 1 in 5 flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
✅ “Winter injuries aren’t my problem.”
→ You’re still liable if someone slips on your icy steps.
✅ “Auto insurance covers stuff stolen from my car.”
→ Only the car itself — not your laptop or bags inside it.
✅ “Renters don’t need insurance.”
→ False! It’s affordable and covers way more than you think.
✅ “Rates can’t be changed.”
→ Wrong again. Let us shop around, bundle, and strategize.
🎃 No tricks, just real info to protect what matters.
