How on Earth could you depreciate Labor? There is nothing to depreciate. It isn’t a tangible item that loses value over time. We argue this often, and we win often. And now, an Appellate Court has agreed.

If you are like most people, there is a good chance that you have never actually read your insurance policy, or at least not all of it. Here are a few things to keep an eye out for should you wish to take on the challenge.

Did your business or home suffer damage as a result of the recent riots and lootings which have taken place over the past several weeks? In the first part of our three part series, we discuss the ways in which some carriers cover damage to your actual structure, also known as the dwelling or building.

If you have suffered a loss, it is likely you have received some form of denial letter. The type of letter will determine how much (if any) of the damage your insurance provider is offering to cover. However, the State of New Jersey has outlined some very specific language that each type of letter must contain in order for the letter to be proper.

Did your property suffer damages from the storm a few weeks bacK? You may be hopeful that your homeowners insurance policy will cover repairs. However, as is typical with most insurance policies, the answer is not so cut and dry, and you’ll need some help figuring out how to move forward.

The person who thinks that their insurance company is on their side is the one who will be taken the most advantage of. Know your policy and what you are actually owed. If you have been denied on your insurance claim, whether it be for loss of business income from Covid, water damage, wind damage, you name it, let me know. Turn to us when they turn you down.

For this week, there is no guessing necessary for the insureds who are itching for more coverage. ALWAYS REMEMBER, you get what you pay for. Not all insurance is the same and there is a reason some insurance is cheap. General rule of thumb, the more they advertise, the worse they are.

Why do insurance companies claim your word is good enough, until it’s time for them to pay up? Find out what we did for our client when their insurer told them proof of value was required to reimburse for a loss, when it wasn't required the entire time they were paying their premiums. https://www.wdblegal.com/2020/05/proof-of-value/

This week on Insurance Industry Memes...we all know the company.
