Are you the owner of a business with a fleet of drivers, do you only have a couple of trucks on the road, or are you a commercial driver? If any of these scenarios describe your profession, then you need to be aware that the FMCSA and PHMSA are constantly amending the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and the Hazardous Materials Regulations to restrict the use of hand-held mobile telephones by drivers of commercial vehicles. This tightening of rules is meant to improve safety on the Nation’s highways, but will also affect your drivers, and consequently, your New York commercial auto insurance.
Make sure to keep your drivers up to date on the latest laws because if they get tickets, then you will get higher Rochester Insurance premiums….and no one wants that!

I hope your holidays were joyful! If you’re like most people, you used your credit cards a little more often than usual last month. And that makes me think
about something that could turn the whole season sour … Identity Theft.
Identity theft occurs when someone obtains and uses your personal information. They might buy things, obtain loans, commit crimes and even get jobs in your name – along the way destroying your good name and your credit record.
Identity theft is a serious crime and is on the rise. Victims can be refused loans, housing or cars … and even be arrested for crimes they didn’t commit, according to the Federal Trade Commission. That’s pretty scary. And it can take months – or even years – to straighten it all out.
The Internet is crawling with information on Identity Theft, so I’ve put in some website links that you might want to check out at the end of this email for more information – especially if you think your personal information is being used by someone else.
But first, I have some tips from a Federal Trade Commission report on minimizing your risk:
I could go on for pages. Like I said above, there’s tons of information on the Internet. Just do a search on Identity Theft Tips. Here are some sites you can check out.
All of us here at Smith Insurance in Rochester, NY hope you never suffer through the frustration of identity theft. I hope these tips can help you or someone you love avoid it … or get it cleaned up quickly if it happens.
PS - It’s sad, but there are people in this world who will take everything you have if given the chance. Of course, your Rochester homeowners insurance might foot the bill … but only if you have enough. If you don’t it could literally ruin your financial life. Good news …
A million dollars of protection can be as little as $12 a month! Erase your worries and your fears. Contact us today about a Personal Umbrella policy.

New York Electrical Contractor Insurance
We are getting to the time of year that most of us take a hard look at our lives, usually with a view to making improvements. With that in mind, here are three aspects you should be thinking about concerning your insurance:
Homeowners/Renters Insurance: The value of your property most likely hasn’t gone up, but rebuilding costs have in most cases. What about your contents? As the years go by, the amount and value of our possessions increase which creates a need for higher policy limits.
Life Insurance: If you’ve taken on new financial commitments or your family has grown, so has your need for adequate life insurance coverage.
Special Needs: There’s no doubt that the risk of natural disaster threatens all of us in some way. These risks are not normally covered in your homeowners or renters insurance.
Insurance is all about protection for yourself, your property and your family. None of us can predict the future but insurance can make it easier to deal with. Thank you for allowing the Smith Insurance Agency in Rochester NY to “Protect you as if you were family.”
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had a house fire? Would you have enough homeowners insurance to cover the loss? Would it be an absolute nightmare with headaches throughout the whole process of collecting under your homeowners insuranc policy and repairing or rebuilding your home?
Below is a message that we just recieved from a client of ours who had a horrific house fire over the summer.
“Our summer was a mess but God is good and blessed us in spite of spending 3+ months out of our home. Many friends helped us and we made some new friends in Erie Insurance – Nancy Mowins and our main contractor Joe Scofero. Nancy made the process go very smoothly and we have nothing but praise and thanks for how she worked with us and Joe to expedite the whole process. Really, things went smoothly and without a hitch. We moved back into our home on October 9th and have been very please with the way the house and our new furniture etc.. came out.
We are thankful also to have Smith Insurance as our local agents. I new if there were any problems – I could talk to Tom or his brother, but thankfully there were no problems. Many people who I talked to told of unhappy situations they heard of with insurance companies, but I was happy to tell them how wonderful Erie was to us.
We are looking forward to a blessed 2012 and will be a little happy to leave 2011 behind. When school ends this year we will go get another puppy to replace the two labs that we lost in the fire. They were the only truly irreplaceable items for us.
Anyway – Betsy and I wish you and Heidi and your family a very Merry Christmas and hope the 2012 is a great year for you, your family and your business.
- Bill”
We truly appreciate those kind words from Bill, and would love to provide YOU with the same level of service on your Rochester NY Homeowners Insurance.
