GET YOUR HOME REACY FOR SPRING STORMS WITH THESE SIX TIPS
Spring is almost here, which means warmer weather, blooming flowers, and longer days are on their way. Unfortunately, spring also brings unpredictable and often severe thunderstorms, which can cause damage to your home and property. That's why it's essential to prepare your home for severe weather. In 2022, there were 18 severe weather events in the U.S., resulting in losses exceeding $1 billion each, and 11 of them were severe storms. We don't want you to experience a storm-related loss, so here are some tips to protect your home and property:
- Trim any dead or overhanging branches from trees near your home to prevent them from falling and causing damage to your roof or siding during a storm.
- Ensure that your roof and gutters are in good condition and free of debris to prevent water from seeping into your home. Check that all eaves, fascia, and soffits are securely attached and rot-free.
- Check your home's foundation for cracks or signs of water damage and repair them if necessary.
- Secure all loose items around your home, such as patio furniture and grills, that could be blown away during a severe storm.
- Keep an emergency kit on hand, including a flashlight, batteries, first aid supplies, and a generator in case of power outages.
- Review your homeowner's insurance policy to make sure you have adequate coverage for severe weather damage.
If you have any questions about your coverage or need to review your policy, don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to offer guidance and help in every season, and we want to ensure that you and your home are protected during any severe weather event.
Stay safe and enjoy the upcoming spring season!

IN FOCUS: Commercial General Liability
|

Greetings University Insurance Group community! As your friendly neighborhood insurance agency, we are always here to ensure that your business is protected from all angles. Today, we want to talk about General Liability policies and why they are a must-have for any business.
First and foremost, having General Liability insurance protects your business from financial losses due to accidents, injuries, or damages caused by your business operations. This type of policy can cover a wide range of incidents, from slip and falls to product liability claims.
There are different types of General Liability policies available, depending on your business needs. For example, if your business involves a lot of physical activity, you might consider a Bodily Injury policy, which covers injuries to customers or clients on your property. Alternatively, if you are in the business of providing advice or consulting services, a Professional Liability policy might be more appropriate, as it covers claims of negligence or errors in your advice.
It's important to note that General Liability policies usually cover legal fees, settlements, and judgments that might arise from a covered incident. This can be a lifesaver for small businesses, which may not have the resources to handle such costs on their own.
In short, a General Liability policy is an essential component of any business's insurance portfolio. Don't take chances with your business's financial stability - talk to us today to make sure you have the coverage you need.
