Frequently Asked Questions

Insurance brokers work for their customers, whether they are individuals or businesses. They research the market for coverage options, share those options with their clients, and then help them apply for and purchase coverage from insurance companies.  Brokers also shop renewals amongst all the companies they have access to each year. They can also help assess risks and provide claims assistance.

  • Once everyone is safe, you should secure the property by double checking that all windows, doors, and gates are intact. If your property has been severely damaged, contact an emergency claims service provider immediately.
