[08:15] Why Choosing a 'Premium' Insurer is Worth It
Eric cautions that while it's important to ensure premium increases are reasonable, consumers should avoid simply choosing the cheapest policy. He warns that low-cost coverage may lack important protections, leaving one vulnerable if a claim occurs. It's best to go with a reputable insurer known for treating customers well during the claims process. After all, insurance is meant to provide relief in times of need. Getting the lowest price isn't wise if it means the policy won't adequately cover expenses when they're most needed.

Eric cautions that agents competing primarily on price may inadvertently reduce important policy protections. He advises policyholders to proactively discuss their coverage needs with agents to identify any gaps. Rather than simply increasing premiums, the goal should be understanding what level of protection is appropriate for an individual's unique circumstances and risks. Open communication with one's agent helps safeguard against both underinsurance and overpaying for unnecessary coverage.
