The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television
Addresses Insurance Issues for Divorcing Moms and At-Home Business Owners
The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television is addressing important insurance issues for divorcing moms and at-home business owners. The segment will feature expert advice from Trusted Choice® independent insurance agents Sharon Emek, Director of the CBS Insurance Coverage Group in New York, and Alex Soto, President of InSource Insurance Agency in Miami. The segment will air on March 27th and can also be viewed on www.thebalancingact.com/trustedchoice.
“Tax time is a great time to reevaluate your financial risk with your insurance adviser,” states Emek. “Changes may have occurred during the year that can leave a woman vulnerable due to lack of coverage.”
Emek and Soto stressed an insurance check-up for women who are considering divorce or separation to evaluate what insurances may be lost or altered for themselves and their children.
Another area that may be overlooked is at-home business coverage. At least 60% of in-home entrepreneurs are not properly insured, according to an IIABA study. Of those inadequately protected, nearly half didn’t realize they were at risk because they thought their homeowners insurance covered them.
“For example, homeowners’ policies typically provide $250 for computers off-site and won’t cover lost data or business liability,” explains Soto. “That leaves many people who use laptops for business and other entrepreneurs vulnerable.”
“We are very pleased that Trusted Choice provided us with such outstanding experts,” says Danielle Silverman, VP of Strategic Alliances for BrandStar Entertainment, the producers of The Balancing Act. “Sharon and Alex truly raise awareness about the importance of regularly evaluating our insurance needs to we can protect ourselves and our families.”
