Personal Perspectives from Mason & Mason |

|
| Greetings! |
There's something to be said for stability. With over 50 years of experience providing personal insurance services, M&M Insurance has remained a solid fixture in the risk management industry. Recognizing that just as every person is unique, so are their insurance needs - we work hard at asking the right questions to identify yours.
Wisdom. Experience. Stability.
The thesaurus lists the following as synonyms for "stability": steadiness, strength, soundness, poise, solidity, balance. We like all of those, and we hope that our clients would use many of those terms to describe the service and care they receive from M&M. On the other hand, the dictionary uses a few other phrases to explain the concept of stability... phrases like "continuance without change", "permanence", and "resistance to change".
I suppose in some ways this is a good thing. We are commited to delivering the consistent care our clients have come to expect from M&M, regardless of the current business environment. We continue to seek out the best companies to work with so that we can provide you with excellent coverage (at an affordable cost) from year to year, just as we always have... but at the same time, we understand the need to be relevant. As technology advances, the ways in which we communicate have changed as well. That's why we're so pleased to share with you that we have a new Facebook page! We're excited at having yet another means of connecting with our friends and clients.
See, we're all about relationships. Providing comprehensive coverage at a competitive price is very important to us, of course, but really what it all comes down to is relationships. Other faceless insurance firms might find you coverage, even at an affordable cost... but they lack the personal investment you'll find with our agency. Our dedicated professionals aren't just pushing paper, they are truly concerned with the affairs of our clients. When you suffer a loss, they share your disappointment. When you receive payment for a claim, the cheering you hear on the other end of the phone is sincere. And when it comes to fighting for what you deserve, they are fierce. Because you are not just a path to a paycheck for them, they really care.
So check us out on Facebook! We're looking forward to using this channel as a means of distributing information to you, but more importantly, it's yet another avenue for opening the lines of communication, keeping in touch, and developing our relationship with you... and that's always a good thing.

Happy to be serving you,

| Consider These Facts Regarding Umbrella Insurance |

Standard Auto, Homeowners and Boat insurance policies cover liability a person might have for injuries or property damage suffered by someone else. Insurance companies design them to cover accidents for which the insured person might owe tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, sometimes the person might be responsible for an accident so catastrophic that the damages are $1 million or more. To cover financially devastating events such as these, insurance companies offer Personal Umbrella policies. These policies...

| On Deadliest Driving Days, Use Extra Caution |
With more than 34,000 car crash fatalities in the U.S. annually, there's no question that driving can be dangerous any day of the year. However, research shows that holidays are often the deadliest days to be behind the wheel.
Turkey Day = High-Risk Roads
It turns out that Thanksgiving Day is the most lethal driving holiday. As a matter of fact, 502 people died in car accidents on Thanksgiving Day in 2008 -- that's a whopping 400 more car-related deaths than a typical day. The vast majority of these fatal car crashes occurred at night.
Believe it or not, that number is down from previous Thanksgivings. The DOT started tracking traffic fatalities in 1982, and the 26-year average of Thanksgiving Day deaths had been 556. Some experts say fatalities dropped partly because sky-high gas prices kept many drivers off the road.
It's no wonder why Thanksgiving ranks as the most fatal driving day. According to the National Safety Administration, Thanksgiving weekend is...

| Earthquake Protection: Not Just for Californians |
|
When the threat of earthquakes arises, most Americans think only about California, or more recently, Haiti. For many years, the San Andreas Fault Line has been the recipient of much of the press concerning earthquakes in the U.S. Furthermore, predictions concerning the ultimate cataclysm believed by many to be centered there have given it a mythical stature unrivalled by fault lines elsewhere in the country.
Despite all the focus on the San Andreas Fault, California does not have a monopoly on earthquakes. The New Madrid Fault Line, centered in Missouri, has been cited by the U.S. Geological Survey as being a potential source of a significant earthquake threat. The USGS also notes that earthquakes in the central and eastern parts of the country usually have a broader range than their western counterparts. One such earthquake along the New Madrid Fault Line in 1811 rang church bells as far away as Boston, Massachusetts, about 1,000 miles away from the epicenter! More recently...
