Attention clients! This is major legislation that we expect to see coming in other states, including Pennsylvania. As more and more claims come in resulting from distracted driving, states are responding with severe financial penalties. As of 7/1/2019, injured parties in Connecticut can recover double or triple damages from distracted drivers in certain situations.
What do you need to do? Make sure that the liability coverage on your auto policy is adequate. And of course, stay off the phone while driving!

- Having the ability to protect your belongings and to do so through cameras and alert systems directly through your phone have made keeping your home safe as easy as it has ever been

The State of Pennsylvania Finds Raccoons….. INNOCENT!
In the case of Capital Flip, LLC v. American Modern Select Ins. Co., it was deemed in a federal district court that raccoons cannot engage in “vandalism and malicious mischief” as animals only answer to the laws of nature. Capital Flip, LLC owned a property in Pittsburgh that had suffered significant damage. The culprit turned out to be a raccoon that found a way into the property. The claim was not able to be covered under the vandalism and malicious mischief section due to the fact that those charges required a “human actor” to perform willful misconduct. So the next time you see a trash panda doing serious damage to something other than your garbage, call animal control ASAP!
Stay Safe!
