If you only buy $100K to $200K, like most people do, a good lawyer would not even take the case.
Thanks...yeah. I think at some point I was confused about the car also and threw that in there. I kinda knew that. Just felt really dopey I insisted on the coverage. Big win for the hubs on this one, but I'm a fairly graceful loser!! Truthfully, I'm a little annoyed with Villages Insurance that they never mentioned this. We are all pretty much retirees here and that little factoid (not needing it) would have been interesting. I hate jumping around every year, but I have asked them about lowering it annually. They told us Hyundai's (we have 2) were a big theft risk. That was actually true for a bit, but....This agent was a mail troller my hubs called and I am actually gonna change it to him. The Villages had more than a few years to tell me this. Thanks for weighing in.
