The new year is a time to set new goals, make new plans, and dream new dreams. It’s also a time to get yourself on the right track for the year ahead. Having the right insurance policies in place is an excellent way to make sure that, when life happens (and it will), you’re covered.
From all of us at Charlotte Insurance, we hope that you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year!
Insurance – everyone needs it, most people have it, but many don’t understand it. Plenty of misinformation and myths are out there about auto, homeowner’s, and health insurance, and bad information can cost you money. Let’s clear some of the more common insurance myths for you.
You spent weeks planning for this night. The house was decorated perfectly. The food tasted amazing. Your friends and family all said they had a wonderful time. Those new drink recipes you found online were a complete hit.
No one was feeling any pain when they left after your holiday party. In fact, it could have lasted a few more hours if you were still in your 20s. Sure, a couple of people were wobbly when they left, but they’ve always been fine before. You felt great at the end of the night. Best party ever.
The next morning, you get the news. One of your party-goers had too much to drink, and they got into an accident. The other driver was injured. Your friend will be fine – once he deals with the fall-out of causing an accident and driving under the influence. You, however, may be at the beginning of a major nightmare unless you have umbrella insurance.
The end of the year company holiday party may be one of the most anticipated events of the year for your company. Secret Santa traditions, ugly holiday sweaters, or simply unwinding and celebrating the end of a busy year – everyone has their reasons to enjoy the company party, but as the business owner, you should know it’s not without its risks, either.
Ever heard the expression, “You get what you pay for?” No one wants to pay more than they have to for anything, including auto insurance, but cheap insurance can cost you in the long run. Saving money on your monthly premiums by being underinsured won’t help you if you’re involved in an accident. The money you saved will be gone in a flash while you’re forced to pay out-of-pocket for big expenses.
In North Carolina alone, one in 58 children fall somewhere on the autism spectrum, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Starting next year, many of those children will now have better access to health care through their insurance providers.
Governor Pat McCrory signed a bill in Charlotte on Thursday, October 15 that will require most insurance plans to cover certain treatments for autism. This is good news for families affected by autism, as well as autism advocates in the community.
The year is winding down and the holiday fun is ramping up. Before everyone get’s lost in the hot cocoa, tinsel, and gift-giving whirlwind of the season, we wanted to take a moment to pause and reflect. Thanksgiving is just around the corner – let’s remember what the current season is for – being thankful.
Whether it’s pizza, tacos, or gourmet meals, food trucks of all shapes, sizes, and cuisines are popping up across the country. Comparatively low overhead, an exciting new trend, and bringing a restaurant directly to the people are just some of the reasons food trucks are pulling into parking lots everywhere.
The Charlotte Food Truck scene is growing. Thinking of starting your own? Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself, your future customers, and your dream business.
Every six months when your auto insurance renews, it probably seems like the price inches up a little higher. Then – BAM – out of no where, the cost went up significantly, and you’re left scratching your head.
