Current Storm System: What about Flood coverage?
​
Homeowners may believe flood insurance is part of their home insurance.
 
  • Flood insurance coverage is written on a completely separate policy from homeowner insurance.
  • You do not have to live near a creek, lake or body of water to experience a flood loss (Rain accumulation can occur anywhere).
  • There is a difference between "flood damage" and "water damage". Flood damage is caused by natural sources such as storms and rivers. If a river in your neighborhood rises over its banks into your home, that's flood damage as well as the accumulation of water in and around your home.
  • Flood damage: damage caused by Mother Nature's external force.
  • Water damage: damage caused by plumbing, backed up toilets, wear and tear on a roof, or human error (think someone leaving a window open and a heavy rain getting into the house and on the carpets).

Filing A Claim / Should I File a Claim?

I've received questions from clients, friends and family asking:

"How do I file a claim?" or "Should I file a claim?"

The answer to the first question is easy, call your Agent (hopefully that's me) so we can get the process started.

The answer to the second question is more complicated. I would be happy to go over your specific situation with you (even if I'm not your Agent...currently).

Windshield Replacements can be EXPENSIVE!

Earlier this year we needed to replace the windshield on my wife's vehicle. Like many newer vehicles her car has a lane departure system. This valuable safety feature uses sensors somehow connected to the windshield. Having the windshield replaced requires these sensors to be recalibrated. I mention this because the recalibration service runs in the hundreds of dollars (total bill before insurance came out to over $1,000!).

Do you know your glass deductible on your auto policy??

Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas!

This is the first Christmas for Camara Insurance Agency and we look forward to serving you for years to come.

If your Home or Auto policy renewal seems high, let's have a conversation and see if we can save you money by switching to another Carrier.

Last month we were able to save one client in a high fire area thousands of dollars.

Saving Money and Making Life Simple
​
Have we quoted your Home and Auto policies as a bundle?
 
Bundling your insurance can save you money. Many insurance companies offer 5% - 25% discounts if you have more than one policy with them. Also, with your policies at one agency there is only one number to call instead of having to remember where to call for each policy you have with different agencies.
 
Curious if bundling may benefit you? Let us do the shopping and comparing, we work with multiple carriers and are able to find you the best cost and coverage for your specific situation.
