Coverage Gaps

One of the most common insurance issues people run into isn’t having no coverage — it’s having coverage that no longer fits their life. Insurance is often set up when you buy a home or a car, and then it’s easy to assume everything is still fine years later. But renovations, new purchases, lifestyle changes, or added responsibilities can quietly change what you actually need.

The problem with coverage gaps is that most people don’t realize they exist until something goes wrong. When a claim happens, you may discover that certain upgrades, features, or belongings aren’t fully covered, or that liability limits aren’t as protective as expected. That can mean unexpected out-of-pocket costs, partial claim payments, or added stress at an already difficult time.

Coverage gaps aren’t limited to homeowners insurance. Auto policies may not reflect new vehicles, drivers, or usage changes, and liability limits may fall short as assets grow. Valuable personal items, recreational vehicles, or secondary residences may also require separate or updated coverage that isn’t always automatically included. Without regular reviews, these gaps can leave important parts of your life underprotected.

Taking the time to review your insurance helps ensure your coverage reflects where you are today and gives you clarity around what is and isn’t protected. Addressing potential gaps ahead of time helps safeguard your home, your belongings, and your financial well-being.
