A Few Tips From The Buckner Insurance Playbook For A Safe Football Season

10/31/2018

Comments

 
After 8 long months, football season is upon us, and with it comes traditional tailgates and good old fashioned get togethers at your home. Regardless if you’re a Bengals fan or a Browns fan it’s important to know you are covered for those unexpected events and we’re not talking about Cleveland winning. Are you protected if your neighbor trips and falls in the living room while celebrating a touchdown? What happens if someone is injured on the grill? Good insurance coverage is your defense for potential liability claims against you. Don’t get caught off guard without these key coverages.
​
Homeowner Insurance policies have a coverage called Medical Payments to Others. This coverage is designed to pay medical expenses to guests who are injured in your home regardless of who’s at fault. This limit is usually anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000. Homeowner’s policies also offer liability coverage.  This covers incidents you are legally responsible for. These limits are much larger and tend to be anywhere from $100,000 to $500,000. You can extend your liability limits to $1 million and above with the purchase of an Umbrella Policy. The extra Umbrella protection on average cost around $160 a year.
Don’t get called for a flag, Watch for these hazards:
  • Guests who have had too much to drink! Offer to call them an Uber, to stay at your house, or find them a Designated Driver. We cannot stress enough how important it is to not drink and drive.
  • Tripping Hazards in walkways. When having guests over it is always good to keep walkways clear to prevent potential injuries.
  • Keep an Eye On the Food. It is easy to get caught up talking to guests so do not forget to keep an eye on any dishes you have baking in the oven or on the burner.
  • Review you Policy with your Agent. Not everyone’s Home policy is the same. Call your agent before kickoff to review your policy. Ask about any possible exclusions and consider raising some of your limits. Also, check that your personal property coverage is adequate to cover your new big screen tv.
  • -Make Sure Your Pets are secure. This for their safety as well as others. Sometimes new guests and loud noises can frighten pets.

Kelsey Alford's Potato Soup
KELSEY'S POTATO SOUP RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
  • 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled (reserve about 2 tablespoons of crumbled bacon for garnish)
  • 11 tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 7 cups milk ( I used a combo of whole milk and 1%, use whatever you have on hand)
  • 4-6 potatoes, baked peeled and cubed (I typically cook them in the microwave to speed the process along)
  • 4 green onions, chopped plus additional for garnish
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded plus additional for garnish
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS
  1. In a large stock pot, melt butter over medium heat. When the butter has melted, whisk in flour and allow the mixture to cook for a few minutes.
  2. Slowly add in 7 cups of milk, 1 cup at a time, whisking really well between each cup.
  3. When all 7 cups of milk have been added, continue whisking until the mixture starts to thicken a bit.
  4. Add in cubed baked potatoes and green onions, and then bring to a boil making sure to stir frequently.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, then stir in bacon, cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper.
  6. When the cheese has melted serve immediately. Garnish each bowl of soup with additional cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles, and chopped green onion.
  7.  This recipe typically serves 4-6.

Why CHoose an Independent Agent?

9/14/2018

Comments

 
More choices. Less hassle. Just the right amount of protection.
 
The right insurance is about more than choosing the right company. It's about selecting coverage that fits your specific needs. Your local independent agent will provide the expert guidance to help you do both – so you can focus on your life, not on your insurance.
 
Having an unbiased advocate on your side means you don't have to navigate the insurance world on your own. In fact, if you don't want to, you don't even have to think about the insurance world. You can rest easy knowing that your agent has the knowledge and resources to protect what matters most to you.
 
Because they aren't limited to products from any one company, independent agents have the freedom to create a personalized insurance package that fits your needs and your budget. 
 
Is an umbrella policy right for you? Do you have enough uninsured motorist coverage? Does your jewelry require a special rider on your homeowners policy? An independent agent can answer all of your insurance questions — even those you didn't know you had.
