A Cautionary Tale

If you are someone who believes that once you pay your insurance premium you're covered, you may want to reconsider that. On Friday, West Hartford police arrested the former president of Wright Insurance Agency in Connecticut for taking premium payments and issuing forged insurance documents.

The story appeared online on FOXCT.

Always follow-up to make sure you have a policy if one doesn't come directly from the company. If in doubt about your agent, call your state insurance office to make sure they are licensed in your state.
