Earthquake Insurance in MA? Well, Yeah!

I am going to have to be honest; I never thought I’d see the day when New England would feel the effects of an earthquake. However after the events of yesterday, I was clearly in the wrong.

Did you know that 90% of Americans live in seismically active areas? It’s true! And yet, very few homeowners ever consider the purchase of Earthquake Insurance. Also true is that typical MA Homeowners Insurance policies do not cover damage done in the event of an earthquake, which is why it’s a good idea to look into the purchase of an Earthquake Insurance endorsement for home insurance policies (for a $400K home, this type of coverage is only about $20 per month-give or take).

Your local MA Insurance agent at Encharter Insurance would be happy to talk with you about MA Earthquake Insurance and your current Massachusetts Homeowners Insurance policies.
