It is horrible to hear stories of troubles so close to the holidays but situations like these can happen to anyone.
In Coppell, TX, 20 people living in an apartment complex are going to be spending the holidays rebuilding their lives. Unfortunately, their apartment complex went up in flames and even worse, none of them had insurance. Many of the residents are still waiting to hear back from a restoration company on whether or not their apartment is salvageable. Some have already found out their apartments were a total loss.
James Banter, a resident at the complex, never bought a policy. Thankfully, he was able to make it out with his wife and dog but there’s no telling what else will be saved.
“We’re still kind of in shock. Being close to the holidays it’s kind of saddening, but this is what you have to go through sometimes I guess,” Banter said.
You may face tragedy at some point in your life as well but you can protect yourself from making a bad situation even worse. Renters insurance is very low cost with a very high reward. Don’t find yourself regretting decisions you should have made in the past, get covered!
