Q: We are new to the area and would like a quote on our home/auto/health/life insurance.

Q: Why is insurance so expensive?
A: There are a multitude of reasons that insurance prices go up. With the faster pace of life, people are eating, talking on the cell phone and living more in their cars ... meaning the number of accidents per year are rising. Coupled with the increased cost of repairing damaged vehicles and the thousands of frivolous law suits filed each year, not to mention the increased costs of medical services ... they all impact your rate. Look at your policy; have you added more vehicles, have a youthful driver on a higher rated vehicle, or traffic tickets. They all can affect your rate. Ask your agent or customer service representative if there is a way you could save more on your insurance.
