 
During the month of February, we focus your attention on loving insurance. First, do some research about your insurance. If you're uncertain about your policy or coverage, talk to your insurance provider or give us a call. Second, understand what you are paying for it. During different life events (i.e. new home, marriage, childbirth, adoption, divorce) your insurance needs change. Next, evaluate what changes to consider to get the protections that you need. Did you give your sweetie some new jewelry for Valentine's Day? Maybe you booked an extravagant vacation? There are many reasons to love insurance!
While the Maryland Insurance Administration does not sell insurance and we cannot recommend a particular policy or insurance company, we do want to help you learn what types of coverage are available, at what cost, and assist you if you have a complaint about how your insurance company responds when you file a claim.
If you have questions, we would love to help!
