An Insurance Pothole?
Potholes. The nemesis of drivers everywhere. They appear when you least expect them and they can do some real damage to your tires, your wheels, and even the frame of your vehicle. Potholes need to be filled quickly, before they get larger and damage more vehicles.
Insurance potholes act in the same way. They pop up when you least expect them and certainly when you don’t need them. When they rear their ugly heads they can do some real damage to your assets – especially your cash assets. Insurance potholes need to be filled too. And just like potholes in the road, it’s easy to put off fixing them. But procrastination with insurance potholes is a REALLY bad idea.
One of the biggest insurance potholes is a “gap” in coverage.
What is a “gap” in coverage? Other than a time gap, where you allow a non-payment of insurance premiums to cause your policy to lapse or go dormant, a gap in coverage occurs when what you want to insure is valued at more than the insurance you’ve purchased.
