auto automobile vehicle car insurance rhode island pawtucket cranston johnston providence podmaska: what to do if you get in an accident - 11/17/10 06:09 PM

 
I'm not sure if it's because I'm a Daddy's girl or if it's because my Dad has always been my insurance agent, but the first thing I've done every time a fender bender occurs is get him on the phone...Here's what I've learned from my Dad (who, by the way, works here at Podmaska Insurance).

2. Maintain a great credit score. What you might not know is that many preferred companies put Insured's into credit tiers. Preferred companies look for consumers that … (1 comments)

It's only embarrassing because...well, I'm the one that works in the insurance industry, and despite that...I was the one that ended up being wrong.
 
Regardless of who was right and who was wrong, I have all my facts together now and thought I'd share "Insurance 101" with you so that you are all aware of the coverage you're really getting.
 
Here's the breakdown:

auto automobile vehicle car insurance rhode island pawtucket cranston johnston providence podmaska: Auto Insurance in Pawtucket, RI Made Simple – Because It IS! - 08/20/08 03:44 PM
It’s unfortunate how many car owners find auto insurance premiums so complicated. They sit with an insurance agent, lost as the agent builds their policy. What is the agent doing? Are they trying to rope me into getting coverage I don’t need? I don’t understand what everything means…
