Sometimes bad things happen.
A forest fire claims a town; a building collapses; a storm knocks out power to thousands of homes.
The bubble bursts; the plant closes; the investment loses value.
A driver is distracted; the tests comes back positive;a child dies.
Sometimes bad things happen but they don’t always have to.
The Oxford dictionary provides several definitions of risk including the following:
… the possibility that something unpleasant or unwelcome will happen.
That possibility is always there. If you have children there’s the possibility of their being injured in an accident. If you own property there’s the possibility of it being stolen, damaged or destroyed. If you have investment savings there’s always the possibility of a drop in value.
What if all it took to avoid an accident was a conversation with your child? What if a little planning could minimize the impact of an event on the life of you and your family?
Would you do it? Would you want to know?
Risk is a part of life but some risk can be avoided, some risk can be minimized. That’s why we’ve started ManageYourRisk.ca
As an insurance broker I see people after the bad things happen and I wish I didn’t have to. Insurance can’t replace the digital photos saved on the laptop that was stolen. Insurance can’t heal. Insurance can’t replace a life.
Our goal for ManageYourRisk.ca is to help you live a safer, healthier life by providing you information about the hazards and risks you and your family may face. We want to help you avoid those bad things, and if they do happen, minimize the damage they do. We want to see you save your money, improve your life, and be financially secure.
ManageYourRisk.ca will provide you with access to resources, information and tips to manage, control and avoid the risks in your own life. Please subscribe today. We won’t share your information with other companies or annoy you with frequent sales pitches. If one article enables you to avoid some of the bad things in life, it will be worthwhile.
Sincerely,
Brian Hitchlock
