Top Ten Insurance Myths


At SeaFirst, we value clarity, trust, and empowerment. Today, we’re exposing the top ten myths about the insurance sector:







Myth:  “Insurance is too expensive” 

Truth: With a range of policies and customization, there’s coverage for every budget.







Myth:  “You never use your insurance anyways” 

Truth: Even if you are not claiming on your policy, an active policy provides you peace of mind. 







Myth: “Standard policies cover everything”

Truth: Policies vary. Understanding what’s covered and what’s not ensures you’re never caught off guard.







Myth: “Filing a claim is complicated and seldom successful” 

Truth: Our team is here to guide you through a straightforward claims process, aiming for a fair and prompt resolution.







Myth: “Insurance is a scam”

Truth: Insurance is a contract of utmost good faith. Both the insured and insurer have an obligation to act honestly without misleading the other. 







Myth: “Home insurance is optional if you’re a renter”

Truth: Renters’ insurance protects your personal property and offers liability coverage – a must-have for peace of mind.







Myth: “Small businesses don’t need insurance”

Truth: Every business, no matter the size, benefits from protection against unforeseen events.







Myth: “Personal items in your car are covered by auto insurance”

Truth: Personal property requires separate coverage.







Myth: “Flood damage is covered by standard home insurance”

Truth: Specialized flood insurance is needed to safeguard against water damage. Don’t let this one slip through the cracks!







Myth: “You can only adjust your policy at renewal”

Truth: Life changes and so can your policy. Reach out anytime to ensure your coverage meets your current needs.
