Make These Home Safety Tips a Priority

You think about safety when you’re in the car, going to a new part of town, trying a new sport…but what about when you’re in your own home? The home is supposed to be the one place you don’t have to be worried, be stressed, or in harm’s way. Of course, the reality is that just like any other environment, the home has its own set of security risks to think about. Whether it’s accidents, injuries, or home invasions, no home is without some type of risk. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do your best to prevent them.

Here are ten simple home safety tips to make sure you can always rest easy.

• Keep emergency phone numbers in a highly-visible place.

Should you need to get in contact with emergency services, you don’t want to waste time looking up how to reach them. Post phone numbers for your local fire department and police department in a visible spot in the home. This is particularly important, should a guest or a young child be the one that needs to reach out to emergency services. Poison control is another number to have handy, along with the phone numbers of family members that should be contacted in the case of a medical emergency.

• Ensure there’s distance between flammable objects and sources of fire.

Think critically about where you position objects around the home to minimize your risk of accidental fire. For example, keep curtains a fair distance away from fireplaces (sparks can fly a few feet!). Also be mindful of objects that are on your stovetop, as well as who in the home has access to matches and other fire-starting substances.

• Check locks on all entrances.

To prevent unwanted visitors, install locks on all doors and windows around the home. Most exterior doors and windows will always come manufactured with locks, but they’re only valuable if you get in the habit of locking them every time you leave the house. It’s also not a bad idea to keep doors locked and garage doors closed even when you’re home. The presence of activity in the home isn’t a guaranteed deterrent for every burglar.

• Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Every room in the home should have a smoke detector. More than one-third of home fire deaths occurred in homes that didn’t have any smoke detectors. Batteries in every detector should be tested at least twice a year (general rule of thumb is every six months). Carbon monoxide detectors should also be present on every level of the home. Place these in locations where you’ll be able to hear their alarms (such as right outside the bedroom), and ensure they’re battery-operated, so that they’ll still sound in the case of a power outage.

• Don’t advertise your plans online.

We’re so used to sharing our lives online, but some things are better kept private than on a Facebook wall. For example, if you’re about to leave town for an amazing vacation, maybe wait until after you return to announce you’ve been away (plus, then you’ll have the pictures to share!). You never know who in your social network might seize on an opportunity when you present it.

• Keep lights on, mail collected, and car in the drive.

Speaking of being out of town, consider ways to make it appear as if there’s still activity at the house when you’re away. Homes that appear vacant can be invitations for burglars. Consider keeping interior lights on a timer so that they turn on every day. If you took a taxi to the airport or are leaving a second car at home, park it in the driveway, rather than your garage, to make it look like someone is still at home. You may also want to ask a neighbor, friend, or relative to stop in and collect the mail; an overflowing mailbox is another telltale sign that a homeowner is away.

• Be mindful of how you store prescription medication.

Any medication that’s in the home should be stored in an elevated or locked location that can’t be reached by children or pets. Even if children or pets aren’t in the home, be sure that all prescriptions stay in their original, labeled bottle so there’s no confusion who the medication is prescribed to, how much to take, and what the expiration date is.

• Practice what to do in case of a fire.

Knowing what to do in case of a fire is just as important as taking steps to prevent a fire from occurring. What’s your family’s plan of action should a fire start? Plan out how each family member will exit the house from any level, and walk through what to do and what not to do. For example, don’t open doors if they’re hot, and find something to cover your nose and mouth with if you begin inhaling smoke. For those with multiple levels in the home, consider buying a window ladder that will allow you to reach the ground safely if you must exit before help arrives.

• Install motion sensor lights for additional security.

Place motion sensor lights around the exterior of your home near entrances that turn on at night when objects pass in front of them. Motion sensor lights can give you a heads up that activity is happening outside, and the sudden visibility can discourage burglars from attempting to break in.

• Make sure your house number is reflective and visible.

In the event of an emergency, you know that time is of the essence. Ensure that emergency services don’t waste any extra time by making your location easy to find the first time. Bright, reflective house number signs or numbers will stand out in the dark and stay highly visible in the daytime, too. Make sure your reflective house number sign is posted in a clear location near the road, such as on your mailbox.

Keep Your Office Happy with these Workplace Health Tips

More than two-thirds of Americans say their actual working conditions don’t match up with their desired working conditions. Yikes! While jobs have never been known for their irresistibly fun environments (people do get paid to show up, after all), it doesn’t mean employers should ignore how healthy and happy their team members feel at work. A subpar working environment and the dissatisfaction it breeds can lead to poor health, disengagement, and an unproductive team in the office.

What can you do to keep your office happy, healthy (and best yet, productive)?

Kick the Clutter

No matter what your team members might try to convince themselves of at home, the reality we all like a clean space. In fact, spaces that are full of unnecessary clutter and chaos are shown to negatively affect the brain’s ability to focus and process information. So, keep communal areas like kitchens, lobbies, and conference rooms organized and regularly cleaned. Whether it’s something like implementing a team fridge clean-out every Friday or selecting the right organizational bins for the office supply area, make it easy for everyone to pitch in and keep shared spaces tidy.

Protect Against Germs

The moment you hear that first sneeze from across the office, you can guess what’s coming next: the office plague. In most offices, germs spread rapidly if left unchecked. Empower your team members to take health into their own hands by providing hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes throughout the office and keep a first aid area well-stocked with common over-the-counter products like Emergen-C and pain relievers. It’s also important to make sure employees know you want them to take the day off or work from home if they’re feeling under the weather. Many people come to work sick because they’re afraid to miss a meeting or a deadline – don’t let that culture of fear cause your entire team to get sick!

Embrace the Green

Science shows that our brains react positively to the color green – it helps us think more creatively. If your company branding doesn’t include the color green – therefore making the addition of a green wall or green accents less of a possibility – simply consider adding more plants around the office. Plants will output fresh oxygen and create a natural aesthetic that can put the mind at ease.

Create a Sense of Community

It shouldn’t just be about work every minute of every day. Humans are social creatures by nature, so find ways to bring people together around the office. Instead of letting coworkers fall into the trap of eating a quick lunch at their desk, create a lunch space that’s communal and inviting, so that people will want to get up from their desks and eat together! You can also encourage the team to take group breaks (ex: walks outside, coffee runs). Give them permission to socialize and take a brain break. You’ll likely find you have happier, motivated team members as a result.

Quit the Sit

Another way to boost workplace health? Discourage too much sitting! Sitting for an extended period of time has been associated with chronic disease (some medical professionals have even gone so far as to call sitting the new smoking). Consider offering standing desks for employees, or working with your HR team to develop a wellness program that incentivizes employees to adopt healthier habits for rewards (sometimes in the form of lower insurance costs).

Find Out the Benefits of Moving Insurance

Anyone that’s ever moved before knows this undeniable truth: moving takes work. It’s usually time-consuming, expensive, and physically exhausting. And then there’s the stress of making sure that all of your belongings are transported safely and securely. The last thing any of us wants is to unpack that very last box to discover we’re missing a treasured belonging, or that an expensive object is broken.

To lessen some of the stress and worry of moving, give yourself the gift of moving insurance! Moving insurance is essentially what it sounds like – it’s a type of protection that covers damage and loss on any of your possessions while you’re moving from one place to another. Now, you may have property protection as part of your homeowner’s or lease insurance, but you’ll want to double check that it specifically covers items when in transit.

If you’re not already covered on another plan, consider some of the top advantages of getting moving insurance!

• It can be a more reliable option than insurance from your moving company.

If you’re working with a moving company, don’t assume that your items will automatically covered by the company itself if they’re lost or damaged during a move. While the U.S. government requires that all moving companies be liable for items lost or damaged, companies have the option to offer either full valuation or released valuation coverage, and this type of coverage isn’t quite the same as insurance. Full valuation coverage will hold the moving company responsible for paying back the cost of an item that’s lost or damaged, while released valuation only requires that they pay $.60 per pound, per item.

If you opt for coverage from the moving company, be sure you know what you’re getting. Insurance from moving companies is regulated at the state level, but not all states allow moving companies to sell coverage. Independent moving insurance, however, will cover all incidentals incurred by a third-party.

• It can encourage third-party movers to move all items.

A third-party moving company may choose not to move some of your more valuable items if they’re not already fully covered. That’s because they don’t want to be put in any situation of potential liability with items so expensive (they have to make decisions in their best interest, too). Purchasing full coverage moving insurance means that your valuable items will be covered completely, which gives your third-party movers peace of mind.

• It gives you options for coverage.

Most that offer moving insurance will provide different tiers of insurance that best fit your needs and circumstances. For example, you may wish to insure property that’s being moved under one lump sum. Or, you can itemize specific items separately if they’re particularly valuable (for items that are $500 or more, you’ll likely be required to list them out separately). You can also find moving insurance that just provides coverage in transit (if you’re loading, and a company is driving) or just during loading and unloading (if you’ll be driving). Essentially, you should be able to pay for moving insurance that reflects exactly what you need.

Stay in the Know About Fireworks Safety Hazards

Stay safe this Fourth of July by enjoying fireworks the right way! Fireworks – as fun and as festive as they may be – are the cause of injury and damage every summer. In fact, fireworks cause an average of $43 million in direct property damage each year and 11,500 hospital-treated injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Fireworks Report.

Just because fireworks have the potential to be dangerous doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them. It’s all about making safe and smart decisions when you do!

Tip #1: Go to a professional fireworks display.

If choosing between lighting off your own fireworks or going to a professional fireworks display, opt for the professional event. Professional displays that are open to the public will typically be well-coordinated and will follow all safety protocols. Just be sure that you sit a fair distance away from the actual fireworks in case of unlikely malfunction.

Tip #2: If you’re buying your own, make sure they’re legal.

Don’t take your chance with fireworks that don’t come from a legitimate seller. Explosive, aerial fireworks (the kind we typically associate with professional fireworks) are legal in only about 50% of states in the U.S. In other states, you’re limited to lighter items like sparklers and firecrackers. In Ohio and Nebraska, you can buy large fireworks, but can’t set them off. Be sure that it’s legal to purchase and set off fireworks in your state for both your own legal protection and for your safety.

Tip #3: Never pick up a firework that doesn’t go off after it’s lit.

You light a firework, scurry a few yards back, eagerly wait for it to go off, let a few seconds pass…and nothing happens. Is this your cue to go back and re-light? Absolutely not.

Just because a firework doesn’t go off doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. It has malfunctioned, and when there’s a product error like that, the end result can be unpredictable. For example, it could just be a delayed explosion, or it could be set off with additional movement. The safest way to handle a firework that doesn’t go off is to douse it in water. This will extinguish any burning that’s occurring inside and prevent detonation.

Tip #4: Be cautious of mortar fireworks.

Oh, the mortar. This is the firework that sounds like a cannon blast and goes off with one big “boom.” Loud and powerful, mortars aren’t to be taken lightly. It’s not uncommon for this type of firework to get stuck in its launch tube when tubes aren’t properly designed. You might see its lift charge get deployed, but not the actual mortar. When this is the case, quickly douse it with water from a safe distance. If not, the mortar could explode on the ground, sending fireworks outward toward the surrounding area.

Tip #5: Don’t mix alcohol and fireworks.

This one shouldn’t need much explanation! If drinking will be a part of your day this Fourth of July, don’t be the one to light off fireworks. It not only puts yourself in danger, but it puts those around you at risk, too. Decide beforehand who in the group will be in charge of the fireworks, so there’s no last-minute decisions the moment-of.

These are just some of the many ways you can have a safe Fourth of July, this year and every year! If you’re hosting a gathering and have questions about what your homeowner’s insurance does and does not cover, reach out to Schechner Lifson Corporation to speak to one of our friendly professionals.

Keep Your Auto Insurance Costs to a Minimum

According to AAA, the average cost in 2017 to own and operate a vehicle was $706 each month. Given the recent increase in gas prices, that monthly spend is likely to increase in 2018 forcing many New Jersey drivers to look for ways to save money. While you can’t negotiate gas prices, you do have more control over auto insurance costs than what you think. Here are seven tips for keeping your auto insurance costs from skyrocketing.

1. Request multiple quotes

Far too often, drivers purchase an insurance policy when they buy their first car and rarely revisit it, except to pay the renewal. One way to make sure your auto insurance costs don’t get out of control is to request multiple quotes before renewal. By reviewing quotes from multiple companies, you can make sure your current rates and coverage are comparable to other carriers. The easiest way to shop yearly is by working with an independent insurance agency that represents multiple carriers and can do work for you.

2. Consider a higher deductible

A deductible is the amount of money you are responsible for paying before your insurance policy covers a claim. By increasing your deductible from $500 to $1,000, you can reduce your auto insurance rates because you are taking some of the financial risk from the insurance company.

3. Make safe driving decisions

Paying auto insurance costs is a normal part of life that is already expensive. But, adding traffic violations and accidents to your record will only increase your rates and the amount you pay out of pocket for auto insurance each month. If your rates are already higher because of past accidents or violations, they will eventually be dropped from your record.

4. Take a defensive driving course

Several insurance companies offer auto insurance discounts for completing defensive driving courses. By participating in a defensive driving class, you are telling the insurance carrier you are invested in being a safe driver and they consider you less risky to insure.

5. Drive less

Nearly every insurance company asks how many miles your daily roundtrip commute is. The fewer miles you drive, the less your auto insurance costs because you spend less time on the road. Consider carpooling to work or see if working from home is possible to lower your daily miles.

6. Ask about available discounts

Ask your insurance agent for other possible discounts. Some insurance carriers offer premium discounts form antitheft devices, good students, military, or having your home and auto insurance with the same carrier. Even if you don’t qualify immediately, you have the proper information and can take steps to be eligible in the future.

7. Work on your credit score

Some insurance carriers base your auto insurance rates on your credit score. If your current credit is mediocre, create a plan to improve it over the course of a year. Pay bills on time, pay off credit cards, and refrain from opening new accounts to keep your credit score moving up.

Follow These Summer Safety Tips Involving Your Children and Cars

The days of summer have finally arrived which means kids are off school and ready to make memories! Summer is prime time for children to spend time outside playing and enjoying the warm weather. It is also the season of accidents, sunburns, and bug bites. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states auto-related injuries are the second leading cause of death in toddlers with accidents peaking during the warm summer months. Here are five summer safety tips to help you keep your children safe this year.

1. Check their seatbelts.

Before starting your car, make sure all children are properly buckled and car seats are correctly fastened. Even if your kids can buckle themselves in, double check that it is done correctly before leaving. If your child outgrows their forward-facing seat, transition them to a booster seat, which will properly position the adult seat belt across their body and keep them safe.

2. Don’t leave children in the car.

No matter what the temperatures are or how short of time you plan on being, never leave children in cars during the summer months unattended. It only takes ten minutes for temps in a closed car to rise from 75 to 95 degrees. To avoid forgetting about a sleeping child, place a purse or belongings in the back of the car. Or you can use a stuffed animal reminder where you move a stuffed toy to the passenger seat and move it back to the car seat once you remove your child.

3. Get rid of flying objects.

Anything that isn’t fastened down or secured in a car is a risk for a flying object in the event of an accident. Place bags, strollers, and other large items in the trunk of your vehicle so they don’t go flying and injure children in the backseat. Secure car seats not in use by fastening the seat belt and don’t let children play with toys or books. What may seem harmless can cause serious injury during an accident.

4. Lock your vehicle.

When you are at home, lock your vehicle even if it is in the garage. You can’t predict what adventure your children will want to take while they are outside playing. The decision to play in your car could lead to falls and injury not to mention what can happen if they start the car.

5. Don’t leave children unattended.

It isn’t just your car you have to worry about, as there are other drivers on the road. Don’t leave your children unattended when riding bikes in the neighborhood or playing on your front lawn. Even if your area is quiet, an accident can happen. Instead, remain outdoors or walk alongside them while they ride their bikes.

Understand the Importance of Having Life Insurance

Buying life insurance is one of those life tasks that many don’t enjoy thinking about and tend to put off until it is too late. Life insurance isn’t just another policy, it’s part of an overall financial plan for you and your loved ones. Depending on your age, health, and type of policy you choose, it is relatively inexpensive. When you buy life insurance, you have peace of mind that you are doing the right thing for your family in the event you pass away. So, do you need life insurance? Yes, you probably do.

Here are five reasons why buying life insurance is important.

1. Financially protect your family.

Whether your death is expected or unexpected, your passing creates stress for those you love most. In addition to the grief, they also have to figure out how to replace your income, especially if it is the main source of income. Life insurance is one way to replace your income in the event of your death. Family members can use it to pay the mortgage, utilities, and other life necessities so they aren’t forced to relocate or down-size.

2. Protect your business.

Many business owners use life insurance as a way to protect their business from financial loss when the business owner passes away. The life insurance proceeds can be used to finalize outstanding debts and business loans, redeem stock, or provide necessary working capital so that your family and/or business partners aren’t left with additional stress and financial hardship.

3. Leave an inheritance.

Some parents invest in life insurance so they can leave an inheritance for their children and set them up for a prosperous future.

4. Pay for college, a home, or retirement.

You can also buy life insurance that grows in value over your lifetime and creates a way to pay for college education or other future expenses.

5. Provides peace of mind.

The peace of mind you have when you buy life insurance is invaluable. You will know that you are doing everything you can to ease the burden and stress of your passing. Life insurance will help your family pay for your funeral expenses and normal living expenses so they don’t have to figure it out in the middle of grieving your loss.

Multiple Factors Go into the Cost of Homeowner’s Insurance

Buying a new home is a rewarding and exciting experience. Owning a home also includes new responsibilities such as upkeep, maintenance, and new expenses. In fact, home insurance is the first thing you need to look for when you buy a home and as you start requesting quotes from multiple carriers, you may be surprised to find the cost of homeowner’s insurance varies depending on the company. Multiple factors go into calculating the cost and every company approaches them differently.

Here are five factors that impact the cost of homeowner’s insurance:

1. Where you live.

Where you buy a home is one of the biggest factors in the cost of homeowner’s insurance. Insurance companies will look at how far away the nearest fire hydrant or firehouse is located.

The further away an available water supply is, the higher your rates will be because there is a greater chance of a total loss occurring.

2. Characteristics of the home you buy.

The characteristics of your home are also factors that determine the cost of homeowner’s insurance. Insurance companies consider the home’s age, roof type, composition, and size when calculating costs.

The older your home or roof is, the higher your insurance is because they pose a more significant risk. If your home is brick, it is considered to be more fire-resistive and less of a risk resulting in lower premiums.

3. Pools and trampolines

While pools and trampolines are a lot of fun for children of all ages, they also create a bigger personal liability risk for homeowners. If a neighbor is injured while using one of them, you may be responsible for the medical expenses and loss of income that results. Insurance companies charge an additional premium to cover this exposure. To help minimize the increase, ask insurance companies if there is a discount for keeping your backyard gated and locked.

4. The replacement cost of the home.

Every home is unique, and some cost more to replace than others. Insurance companies based their policy rates on how much it will cost to rebuild your home and replace all of your belongings. Some homeowners choose to insure the actual cash value to save money, but this is not typically recommended if you want to replace your home. Actual cash value will only give you the amount your property was worth factoring in depreciation.

5. The deductible.

A deductible is the amount of a claim that you are responsible for paying before your homeowner’s insurance policy kicks in. The higher your deductible, the more money you save on homeowner’s insurance premiums. Some insurance carriers offer a 25% savings when you increase your deductible from $500 to $1,000.

Understanding Who Needs Multiple Life Insurance Policies and Why

Acquiring a sufficient and thorough life insurance policy is among the most important decisions you can make for your family, ensuring that they will be taken care of and not left with undue burdens should anything happen to you. This idea is accepted and understood as responsible among the general population, but fewer people are aware that having just one life insurance policy may not be enough. Not only is it possible, but many times it is necessary for individuals to have multiple life insurance policies. Such an idea may sound wrong at first glance, but there are several reasons that multiple policies might be the right decision for you and your family.

Increased coverage

The most basic reason to have more than one life insurance policy is because it allows the total amount of coverage you have to be greater than that of one policy. If one life insurance policy caps you at $250,000 but you’ve evaluated your family’s needs and determined that it is necessary to be covered for $500,000, then the easiest way to do that is to simply add a second policy on top of your first one. The key to this decision is knowing exactly how much you want in total policy benefit and comparing that with your existing single policy.

Life changes requiring additional policies

It’s not uncommon for a single individual to acquire a life insurance policy while they are young that is on the lower end of coverage. The rationale is that they are young and do not have a family, so a large permanent coverage is not necessary for them, not to mention a larger policy could be more cost prohibitive at that early stage in their life.

However, that same individual will likely find that when they get married and/or when they have children that the initial policy they purchased is no longer sufficient. At that point, it makes sense for you to purchase additional coverages to match the needs of your growing family, while retaining that initial early-life policy as your baseline permanent life insurance policy.

Different policies have different benefits.

Life insurance policies have benefits that go beyond the death benefit. Some policies can allow access to the death benefit to help pay for long term care expenses. Other policies have cash value or other investment components. Some policies will provide coverage for a fixed number of years, while others will provide coverage for your entire life. Over time, people will have different circumstances and will need different policies to cover these different needs.

Discover the Benefits of Working with an Independent Insurance Agency

It may feel riskier or scarier to get your family’s insurance through an independent insurance agency as opposed to through a group plan from an employer, but there are many reasons that an independent agency is actually preferable. By understanding exactly what it is you are getting involved with, you’ll quickly realize that the freedom, dedication, and personalization offered by independent insurance agencies is superior, leaving you only to wonder why it took this long for you to make the leap. So, what exactly are the advantages?

Independence of choice

• By maintaining their independence from specific insurance companies or vehicles, independent insurance agencies are free to represent a wide variety of insurance companies’ offerings with the associated variety in coverage options and costs.
• Rather than paint you into a corner with the limited options from a single insurance provider, independent agencies typically sell coverage for five to eight difference insurance companies and free you from the pressure of feeling like you must accept a single company’s quote.
• This ability naturally results in the customer receiving better value that is tailored specifically to your needs.

Personalized attention, care, and recommendations

• By interacting with a real person assigned to your case, an independent insurance agency is able to get to know you and your family’s needs on a personal basis.
• As a result, they will understand what your unique situation is after listening closely and understanding your situation.
• At the end of the process, this will result in not only the best bang for your buck, but also ensure you have the exact coverage you need without omitting an important piece of coverage and without selling you coverage that you do not need.
• Your personal representative at an independent insurance agency will also be able to advocate on your behalf down the road if you need to make a claim, have a billing concern, or need to adjust your coverage.

Local friendly people, not a faceless corporation

• Everyone likes having a mom and pop shop where they know your name and recognize your face instead of the corporate monolith—independent insurance agencies provide that friendly face that is missing in the larger insurance companies.
• Not only do they know you personally, but your independent agency is your neighbor, a member of your community—because of this they understand your unique circumstances.
• As members of your community, independent insurance agencies are often heavily involved in community-building activities like sponsoring local youth sports, buying from other local businesses, and more.

Dedication to you

• Larger insurance companies will typically focus on one specific type of insurance and direct you across town (or the web) to another company if you have a different need—this is not the case at an independent agency that is often able to meet all your insurance needs in-house.
• By focusing on you and your family individually and representing a variety of insurance types, independent agencies can find you the best coverages and optimal prices as you move through life—every time you move, go back to school, get married, have children, start a business, or any other major life event.
