The Evolution of Insurance and Legal Expense Coverage – Rick Holden

February 7th, 2011

Yes, I do admit that Insurance feels boring and besides premiums going up during our lifetime, has it really changed at all? The answer is yes…yes it has.

We invited Rick Holden, of Best Buy Witty Insurance Brokers, in to chat about what has changed in the insurance arena and what information would help the public in 2011. Rick shared some great info about Legal Expense Coverage – essentially, it’s insurance to cover legal costs for three distinct groups:

A. For drivers (fighting that ticket with 6 demerit points)
B. For home owners or renters (when the contractor doesn’t finish the job)
C. For Business owners (when someone doesn’t pay you….you know who you are….)

You have to watch the video for a bit more info, but each of the 3 kinds that Rick describes has some great benefits, and each of them are priced very well.
