 
As summer winds down, our insurance needs change. Students may be heading back to campus or you might be buying a new car (check out our updated interactive auto rates guide.) There's still potential for severe weather, as hurricane season runs through November 30th. When you’re knowledgeable of certain risks, you’re able to better protect yourself and avoid insurance claims. Please consider talking to your insurance agent or company and review what insurance you have, what you are paying for it, and what changes to consider to get the protections that you need.
The Maryland Insurance Administration is always here as a resource for you!
