Insurance Pitfalls

By: Admin

Choosing an insurance company can be a daunting task, with so many options available in the market. However, having the proper insurance is essential to protect both you and your assets. It is equally as important to be aware of the pitfalls that can arise when choosing an insurance provider. Here at Beckett, we want the best for you and your belongings, so here are some tips for when you are selecting insurance companies.

Cheap May Not Always Be the Best

While everyone loves a bargain, choosing an insurance provider based solely on price can be a mistake. Cheap insurance policies often come with very limited coverage or high deductibles that can leave you underinsured in the event you file a claim. That is why it is important to choose an insurance company that offers reasonable premiums and comprehensive coverage.

Poor Customer Service

Dealing with a difficult insurance company can be frustrating, especially when you need to file a claim. Poor customer service can lead to delayed or denied claims and make it difficult to get the proper coverage you need. For that reason, it’s important to choose an insurance company that offers comprehensive coverage for all your needs.

Limited Coverage Options

Another pitfall to watch out for is limited coverage options. Some insurance companies may only offer a limited range of coverage options, which can leave you without coverage, for certain events or risk. Ensure you choose an insurance provider that offers comprehensive coverage for all your needs.

Unreliable Claims Process:

An unreliable claims process can cause significant stress and frustration. It’s important to choose an insurance company that has a reliable and efficient claims process. Check online for reviews and ask for recommendations to ensure that the claims process is easy and hassle-free.

Hidden Fees and Charges:

Lastly, hidden fees and charges are a common pitfall to watch out for when choosing an insurance provider. Some insurance companies advertise low premiums but then add on fees and charges that increase the overall cost of the coverage. Ensure you read the fine print and ask for a breakdown of all fees before signing up for coverage.

How to be Successful at Mediation

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution. It is a means for people to settle disputes or lawsuits outside of court. Most people don’t want to go to court. A neutral third party—the mediator—helps the disputing parties look for a solution that works for them. Mediators, unlike judges, do not decide the case. The mediator's role is simply to help the people involved in a dispute to negotiate with each other in a constructive manner, to gain a better understanding of the interests of all parties, and to find a resolution based on common understanding and mutual agreement.
