The update comes at a time when homeowners continue to face costly property risks from fire, severe weather, theft, and other unexpected events. According to the Insurance Information Institute, owners of approximately one in 20 insured homes file a claim each year, underscoring the importance of understanding what a homeowners insurance policy covers before a loss occurs. The updated service was introduced to help Oak Lawn homeowners review their personal property coverage and make informed decisions about protecting their homes and belongings.
Jerry Carter helps residents explore coverage designed to protect not only the structure of their home but also many of the possessions they use every day. Depending on the policy, coverage may extend to personal belongings kept inside the home and, in some situations, certain items that are lost or stolen away from home. He also helps homeowners understand available coverage limits, deductibles, and policy options so they can make informed insurance decisions.
“Many people think about protecting their house, but they don't always consider the value of everything inside it,” said Jerry Carter. “Taking time to understand personal property coverage before you need it can make the claims process much less stressful if the unexpected happens.”
