As another summer draws to a close and teachers everywhere look forward to getting back to the daily grind, we, the motoring public, have to remember to be extra vigilant. 

For back to school means kids of all ages heading in all directions. From walkers to bikers to teenagers trying to rub the sleep out of their eyes as they drive to school, it is busy world out there. Keep your eyes open and please be alert. Kids in new routines are often not paying attention themselves as they work out their new patterns on the way to school so it’s up to us.

The main things to look out for are kids at or near intersections, those walking or biking close to the side of a road. Kids out in the early hours without bright colored clothes on, teenagers running late on the way to school or anxious to get home or to a sporting practice after school.

This time of year produces a lot more activity then during the summer months when they are usually near home. So keep on the lookout for those not looking. It takes a village to get a kid to school safely!

Money spent on marketing insurance in this country is in the hundreds of millions. Did you ever wonder who pays for it? Whether it is cavemen, lizards, a lady in an insurance grocery store in heaven or even a pretend insurance academy, there is a never ending stream of commercials and advertisements aimed to get your attention via your funny bone. One of the claims many of these commercials use is the speed at which you can sign up or transfer, which is great unless you miss out on coverage you need do to haste.

At TEAM-ATD many of the customers who change over from other companies to ours do so because they realize long after the sign-up period that they are either missing coverage they need or are having a difficult time contacting customer service agents for help.

This is where we still do things the proper way. Instead of spending money on commercials we spend it on helping you dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Sure, we have all the technology, but we back it up with people. People right here from Northern Ohio. You can call and get a live receptionist who will direct you to a TEAM ATD service rep all without pressing another button on your phone, and  little waiting if any. You can walk in our office and talk to a service rep who will sit down with you and answer any question you have about your policy. The best part is when you need help, we are right here. For over one hundred years we have been here through every kind of insurance claim imaginable side by side with our customers helping them recover.

Can your insurance agent say that?

So don’t let comical marketing or the lure of an overly easy sign up process get in the way of having your family or business properly protected the TEAM-ATD way. Which is to say all the way protected.

We’re right here when you need us.

It’s almost that time of year where our kids are getting ready to head back to college some for the first time.

Is your child living on campus or off campus? If your child is living off campus it is a good idea to look into renter’s insurance to protect their personal property. Your TEAM-ATD representative can help you with coverage to protect against the loss of important and expensive items such as laptops, video game systems and other pricey items. These items are very attractive targets to thieves as they are easy to resell and are very portable.

So be make sure to call the TEAM-ATD office to see if coverage would be extended from your homeowner policy or if they will need their own policy to protect their personal property….. It may save both time and travel should the unexpected happen.
