Do you need travel insurance?

8/29/2019

 
Do you need travel insurance? | Friedman Group
Not every trip needs to be insured; however, if the cost, risk of illness, or potential for interruption has you feeling cautious, then trip insurance may be a wise investment. Asking yourself the following questions may help you decide:
  • Are you traveling abroad or more than 100 miles away from home?
  • Are you hyper-aware of the cost of your travel arrangements?
  • Are you concerned an injury or illness of you or a loved one may affect your trip?
  • Are you traveling during a heightened risk of severe weather, like the winter holidays or hurricane season?
  • Does your trip include pre-paid home rentals, car rentals, or event tickets?

​When considering a plan, take inventory of the components of your trip. Pre-paid vacation home rentals, car rentals, and event tickets are unique items to insure, yet they can be costly if forfeited due to an unexpected circumstance. If these costs are added to the total pre-paid price of the trip, a comprehensive travel insurance plan could protect you if your trip should be canceled or interrupted.

Picture
Workplace injury rates rise during the summer months. When summer rolls around, companies in many sectors, including agriculture and construction, significantly increase production.

Increased road construction raises risks for workers and drivers. Many of the newly hired workers are young and inexperienced, creating a high potential for workplace injuries.
​
Toiling in the sun is also a leading cause of weather-related injuries, including heatstroke, heat cramps, and heat exhaustion. Heat illnesses occur when the body overheats to the point it cannot cool off, even with sweating.
