			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">That’s a sad reality but all too true.  The good <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/category/news/">news</a> is you can be properly protected for very little <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/money/">money</a> annually.  A personal <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/products/personal-insurance/umbrella-liability/">Umbrella <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/liability/">liability</a></a> policy provides an additional layer of <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/liability/">liability</a> <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/insurance/">insurance</a> over and above your <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/home/">home</a> and auto policy.  Therefore if a serious accident happens and one of those policies limits are exceeded you will have an ADDITIONAL layer of protection to save the heartache and potential <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/loss/">loss</a> of the <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/assets/">assets</a> you’ve worked so hard to gain.</p>
<p>How inexpensive you may ask, well I’ll tell you.  If you own one <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/home/">home</a> and have two cars an additional $1,000,000 of protection can <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/cost/">cost</a> as little as $175.00 per year.  That’s less than .50 cents per day for a million dollars of piece of mind and protection.</p>
<p>Your exact premium may vary slightly based on many factors, however slightly is the keyword.  We see cases all the time of people who have Umbrella protection and are thankful and unfortunately others that need it that didn’t buy it.  Don’t live with that burden hanging over you.</p>
<p><strong>Just <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/contact-us/">contact us</a> and answer a few questions and we will let you know exactly how inexpensive $1,000,000 of protection can be for you</strong>.  Don’t let another day go by, call today so you can be certain we’ve done everything possible to protect you and your <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/family/">family</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;">In recent years I have seen <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/insurance/">insurance</a> <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/products/companies/"><a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/companies/">companies</a></a> become increasingly selective in their underwriting rules concerning writing new business for clients who have <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/dogs/">dogs</a>. While most have their “ineligible breed” list, I frequently hear from clients that they feel they are being unfairly treated since their dog is really very gentle and has “never bitten anyone”.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;">While I’m sure they are telling me the truth, the simple matter of fact is that the number of dog bite claims is increasing at a rate of 8.7% and the average <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/claim/">claim</a> costs $24,461 in 2008 (the most recent figures available)! In total there are over 4.5 million people per year who are bitten by <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/dogs/">dogs</a> and over 900,000 are children! Click here for the whole story</p>

This is pretty scary stuff for writers of <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/products/personal-insurance/homeowners/"><a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/homeowners/">homeowners</a> <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/insurance/">insurance</a></a> who have to respond to these claims and, like it or not, they are justified in creating the selection criteria they find meets their risk appetite for new business policies.<br />
If you are a dog owner I have one additional piece of <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/advice/">advice</a> – buy high limits of <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/liability/">liability</a> <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/insurance/">insurance</a> and of course, be sure you have an <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/products/personal-insurance/umbrella-liability/">Umbrella <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/liability/">Liability</a></a> policy in case your “best friend” ends up being your biggest <a href="http://www.slocumins.com/tag/liability/">liability</a>!</p>]]></content:encoded>
