July 28th is a very important day in the insurance world – and it’s one that we encourage you to observe! It’s National Insurance Awareness Day. Okay, okay, we get that insurance might not be the most exciting thing in the entire world. You might wonder why you should care about a day devoted to insurance of all things. While the Fourth of July might be a tad bit more exciting, that doesn’t mean National Insurance Awareness Day should be overlooked.
What is National Insurance Awareness Day?
July 28th was set aside to be a day where everyone can look over their insurance policies. It’s a time to make sure that your home has the appropriate amount of coverage (you don’t want to be underinsured) and that your car is insured with limits of coverage that will truly protect you if you have an accident.
So, take some time to go over your policies. It’s important to review your insurance at least annually because things change every year. You might need to adjust your limits of coverage on your home, or you might decide that you would be more comfortable driving if you raised your limit of liability coverage. Consider life events that might require an adjustment to your insurance. And if you need to make any changes, here’s your chance to talk to your agent about it.
