RE: Someone smashed my parked car - deal with insurance or call the cops?
I’ve seen dashcam footage make a huge difference for my clients - especially when it comes to parked car incidents. Insurance companies love clear evidence, and it can really speed things up when you’re filing a claim. T...
RE: HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON THE RIGHT DEDUCTIBLE FOR YOUR INSURANCE?
That’s really the key. I’ve seen people pick a $1,000 deductible to save $10 a month, but then a fender bender wipes out their emergency fund. It’s all about what you can actually afford if something goes sideways. Somet...

RE: Tried temporary insurance coverage - worth it or waste of money?
Definitely agree with you on this one. A lot of people don't realize their standard policy often covers occasional drivers - especially family members or friends borrowing the car briefly. Temporary coverage can make sen...
RE: fender bender: insurance claim vs. handling privately?
Good point about the police report - it's a smart way to protect yourself. While insurance rates can indeed rise after minor claims, it's often temporary and manageable if you're careful. I've seen plenty of cases where ...
RE: HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON THE RIGHT DEDUCTIBLE FOR YOUR INSURANCE?
You're definitely onto something here. In my experience, people often overlook the psychological aspect of choosing deductibles. Sure, financially speaking, a high deductible makes sense if you're disciplined enough to s...
