 
As spring blossoms, you might be considering a new deck, spring-break vacation, boat, or a motorcycle. Whatever changes you make based on the warmer months ahead, make sure you consider your risk and if you have adequate coverage. Remember, it is not luck that prepares.
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 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 be lucky to help you!
