5 Common Myths About Insurance
and why You Shouldn’t Believe Them
The purpose of Insurance is to protect yourself, your family, and your assets from unexpected events.
However, there are many myths and misconceptions about insurance that can prevent people from getting the coverage they need. Let us debunk some of the most common myths about insurance and explain why they’re not true.
Myth 1: I don't need life insurance because I'm young and healthy.
Reality:
Life insurance is not just for older or sick people. In fact, the younger and healthier you are, the lower your premiums are likely to be. Life insurance can provide financial security for your loved ones in the event of your unexpected death, regardless of your age or health status.
Without health insurance, you could be left with expensive medical bills that could potentially bankrupt you. Health insurance can provide access to necessary medical care and help protect you from financial ruin.
Myth 2: I don't need car insurance because I'm a good driver.
Reality:
Nothing is predictable on the road.
Even the best drivers can get into accidents. And unfortunately, road accidents keep increasing every year.
Car insurance can help cover the cost of damage to your vehicle and any injuries sustained in a collision, as well as provide liability coverage if you’re found to be at fault.
Myth 3: I don't need travel insurance because nothing will go wrong on my trip.
Reality:
While you may hope that nothing goes wrong on your trip, unexpected events like flight cancellations, lost luggage, or medical emergencies can and do happen.
Travel insurance can provide coverage for these types of events and give you peace of mind while you’re away from home. It’s better to be safe than to be sorry.
Myth 4: I don't business insurance because my business is small
Reality:
The smaller the business, the lesser the risk, while this statement is somewhat true, a small business is still vulnerable to unexpected events that could cause financial loss. For example, if a small business is sued for damages resulting from an accident or injury, the costs of legal defense and any settlements or judgments could be significant. Without insurance, a small business owner could be forced to pay these costs out of pocket, potentially putting the future of the business at risk.
Business insurance can provide coverage for liability, property damage, and other types of losses that could occur in the course of running a small business, helping to protect the business owner’s investment and financial stability.
Myth 5: I don't need farm insurance because I only have a small hobby farm.
Reality:
Let’s all agree Farming is a risky business with it’s own ups and downs.
Even if you only have a small hobby farm, you could still be at risk for unexpected events that could cause financial loss. For example, if your farm equipment is damaged or stolen, you could be faced with high replacement costs.
Additionally, if someone is injured on your property, you could be liable for medical expenses and other damages. Farm insurance can provide coverage for property damage, liability, and other types of losses that could occur on your farm, helping to protect your investment and financial stability.
