Luggage presents a serious problem when traveling, it can get lost or delayed so often. What if you are enjoying a winter holiday in the Bahamas and your luggage doesn’t show up with you? Travel insurance can help you, that’s what.

What if the airline you are on goes bankrupt? What if it is the cruise line you are using, or the company in charge of operating a tour you have booked, but the inherent expenses are billed as non refundable? Travel insurance can make a refund happen.

If you are traveling, whether in another state or another country, and you suffer an injury while you are out and about or even in a car accident, then travel insurance can help you find medical care, and even a doctor who speaks your language.

If there is a terrorist attack on a place you are planning to visit, this insurance can help you cancel the trip.

Finally, if a hurricane or other inclement weather occurs while you are on holiday, not only will travel insurance help you to evacuate, but it can also provide reimbursements.

When you think about transporting your child in your car – what is usually the first question that comes to your mind?  Well, to mind is that child seats are they really safe?  To me – I don’t know – I don’t have a child but really, for those of you that do, have you ever asked yourself that?  Car crashes are actually at the top of the list for causes of death and injury for American children.

Did you know that most of those are actually because the parents do not know how to use the child seat and therefore did not put in right or did not strap their child into it right?  That is not the entire story though, NHTSA, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration actually did some tests on car seats and found that many different brands were not safe either.

While this might have been corrected now – there is still some concern.  That is what we are going to explore in the next blog, how you can prevent your child from becoming a statistic.
