So, you’ve made the right decision to carry earthquake insurance but the deductible is over $25,000. How can you afford to use it if you need to? This is a common question we are asked when someone is considering purchasing earthquake insurance. Fortunately, we have the solution and it’s less expensive than you may think!
To give you a quick example:
A home with an insured value of $500,000 and a 10% earthquake deductible could have a deductible in the area of $100,000. Most people either don’t have $100,000 sitting around or they’d rather spend it on something other than on a deductible. So, what can I do to protect myself?
