“April showers bring May flowers”… and the growing risk for mold. With wet, spring weather comes the potential for floods and high humidity, and mold.

If you get a mold and mildew allegation or lawsuit, you could be responsible for the loss and damage of the shipment, and you could be liable for medical services and home abatement costs. Read our blog to learn what preventative measures can help ensure your operations are mold-free so you can avoid a mold and mildew claim.

Put the Phone Away or Pay

Keep your eyes on the road, folks! From today to April 8, there will be an increase in police enforcing texting and distracted-driving laws for the NHTSA's Distracted Driving Awareness Month.

In 49 states, texting while driving is illegal. ILLEGAL! Wow, you wouldn't know it from all the drivers out there with their eyes on their phones, instead of the road.

In fact, just last month, my best friend was T-boned by a guy who, while looking at his phone, ran a red light at 50 MPH. My friend's car was totaled and he's banged up, but he was lucky enough to walk away.

Don't end up in a box. It's a good look for me, but not for you.

Starting this month, Mover's Choice offers a direct bill payment plan to all customers, regardless of account size. No premium financing, no interest fees, no credit checks. Just a proficient payment method that will make it easy for Moving & Storage customers to make premium payments. Learn more https://moverschoiceins.com/payments/

Even if you don't find a pot of gold, may you have all the happiness and good fortune that life can hold!

Celebrating two insurance entrepreneurs, John Merrick and Alonzo Herndon, who recognized that Black families had a growing need for life insurance, especially in the Jim Crow South. Both men were born into slavery and, coincidentally, first made their way into the business world as barbers who prospered with multiple shops.
