SEPTEMBER IN NORTHERN OHIO: SCHOOL BUSES, FOOTBALL & BOATS THAT AREN'T READY TO QUIT
September around Sandusky is a strange little handoff.
School is back. Schedules change. Friday nights get louder. The days get shorter. And plenty of us are still looking at Lake Erie thinking, “I'm not putting the boat away yet.”
It's also a month when life tends to change gears—which makes it a pretty good time to look at the insurance that has been quietly riding along in the background.

September Insurance Conversations Worth Having
Life Insurance: A Conversation Worth Having
September is Life Insurance Awareness Month.
Life insurance isn't exactly everyone's favorite dinner-table conversation. But the questions behind it are important.
If something happened to you, what financial responsibilities would continue for the people you care about? Household expenses? Debt? Children's education? Future plans?
If you already have life insurance through work or purchased a policy years ago, September can also be a good time to review what you currently have and discuss whether your needs have changed.
No scare tactics. No complicated insurance lecture. Just a conversation about your situation and the options available.
Auto Insurance: The September Shuffle
School buses are back. Commutes change. Teen drivers may be driving more. College students may be living somewhere new. Vehicles sometimes change hands within the family.
If who drives what, where a vehicle is kept, or how it's being used has changed, it's worth reviewing your auto insurance.
Our Sandusky office can help with car insurance quotes, existing policy reviews, teen drivers, college students and multiple-vehicle households.
College Students, Apartments & Renters Insurance
Dorm? Apartment? Rental house?
Where a college student lives can affect what insurance should be considered for personal belongings and liability.
Renters insurance can help provide coverage for personal belongings and liability, subject to the terms, conditions and limits of the policy.
If your student moved this fall, give us a call and we'll help you review the situation.
Homeowners Insurance: Summer Projects Meet Fall
Northern Ohio homeowners tend to squeeze a lot into summer.
Maybe you replaced a roof, remodeled a room, finished part of the house or made another significant improvement. September is a natural time to review your homeowners policy information, deductibles and coverage selections.
We can help you understand what your current policy provides and discuss available options.
Boat, Motorcycle & Recreational Insurance
The calendar may say September, but Northern Ohio isn't finished with outdoor season yet.
Boats are still hitting Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay, motorcycles are still on the road, and campers and recreational vehicles haven't necessarily gone into hibernation.
If you purchased or changed a boat, motorcycle, camper or recreational vehicle this summer, we can help review your insurance options.
Small Business Insurance
September is also a good reset point for local businesses.
Businesses rarely stay exactly the same. Employees change. Vehicles are added. Services evolve. Equipment changes. Locations expand.
As a local business owner myself, I understand that reviewing insurance usually ranks somewhere below “everything else I need to accomplish today.”
If your business looks different than it did when your policy was originally written, let's talk about what changed and review the available insurance options.

September Insurance FAQs
How much life insurance do I need?
There isn't one number that's right for everyone. Factors may include your income, regular household expenses, debts, children, future education expenses, existing life insurance and other financial responsibilities you want to consider. Todd Puckett State Farm in Sandusky can help you review your situation and discuss available life insurance options.
Is the life insurance I receive through work enough?
The amount, features and what happens to the coverage if you leave the employer can vary by plan. Review your employee benefits information and consider your overall financial needs before deciding whether additional individual life insurance may be appropriate for you.
Does my college student need renters insurance?
It depends on where the student lives and how existing insurance applies. A student living in a dorm may have different considerations than someone renting an apartment or house. Renters insurance may provide coverage for personal property and liability, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.
What should I do when my teenager starts driving?
Contact your insurance agent when you have a new driver in the household. We can review the driver, vehicles, available coverage selections and potential discounts for which you may qualify.
