There are reports of over 500 fires and over 30 injuries per year as a result of gas grill fires and explosions.

Many of these fires occur when people use a grill that has been left idle for a period of time or when they have just refilled and reattached the grill’s gas container.

It is important to carefully check your grill before you use it each summer.

Check grill hoses for cracks, holes, and leaks; ensure that the tubes that lead into the burner are free of any debris that could block the flow of gas; and replace scratched or nicked connectors, which can allow gas to leak.

There are two terrific endorsements that some insurance companies in Massachusetts offer, namely: Disappearing Deductible and Accident Forgiveness.

This week’s Johnson & Rohan Insurance’s web log edition feature’s our Agency Spotlight on Safety Insurance’s: Shield Plus Endorsement.

The endorsement is only available to “99” and “98” drivers (violation and accident free for at least 5 years) and costs $35 per vehicle.

The endorsement includes:

• -$500 Disappearing Collision Deductible Credit
• Accident Forgiveness (If in an accident during the policy term, Safety Insurance will not apply additional accident surcharge points to your driving record!)
• Air Bag Coverage
• Personal Effects Coverage
• Rental vehicle Loss of Income
• Emergency Road Travel Expenses
• Supplemental Towing & Labor
• Extended Substitute Transportation
• Seat Belt Coverage
• Pet Coverage
• Extended Substitute Transportation

Often we recommend this endorsement. If you presently carry a $500 Collision deductible, you can typically save between $100 – $200 annually by carrying a $1,000 Collision deductible. The Safety Shield Plus endorsement, with it’s -$500 disappearing deductible feature, lowers the $1,000 deductible to $500.

By adding the endorsement and increasing your deductible, you can save money and have better coverage (accident forgiveness).

Johnson & Rohan Insurance spends an inordinate amount of time rating and re-rating our clients auto & home insurance.

We find that insurance companies, over time, increase coverage, decrease discount programs and premiums — as a result — go up and up and up.

Prior to us sending out our clients’ renewals, we rate and re-rate auto & home insurance.

Although time consuming, we find the best way to keep our clients is by pro-actively shopping renewals, making coverage and carrier suggestions, and by offering different companies if there is a lower premium available.

If you are wondering if you are getting the lowest available premium, please stop by, call or click us today!

Thank you for insuring with us.
