WHAT IS “INSURANCE”?
Insurance is a risk-management tool. You are exposed to many risks in your everyday life, and these risks change over
time. Here are a few examples of risks you are likely to face:
When you’re young and starting a family, your biggest risk is the inability to generate income to support your family, followed closely by making sure your family has a safe place to live in case something happens to you
As you and your family mature, those early risks don’t go away, but additional risks arise, such as insuring teenage drivers
Certainly, as we age we acquire more things – a home, a business, vehicles, recreational equipment, etc. – that are not easily replaced or can harm others and, therefore, add to your risk exposure
There are four ways to manage any type of risk exposure:
RISK ELIMINATION
Remove whatever is
causing the risk
RISK REDUCTION
Take steps to reduce or
minimize the risk
RISK ASSUMPTION
You accept the risk
RISK TRANSFER
Move the risk to
someone else, like an
insurance company
Each of these options should be taken into full consideration when it comes to protecting yourself and your family. This is where the John Wickhem Agency can help. We take the time to learn about you and your insurance needs, then analyze everything from a risk management perspective. Once we understand your risks, we can help design the most cost-effective ways to help you manage those risks.
