September 14, 2009 - Michigan consumers can learn what to do when disaster strikes their home, and how they can hire someone to work for them on their insurance claim in the event of a catastrophe, in the latest episode of "Insurance 101 with Butch Hollowell." The show is set to begin airing this week on cable stations throughout the state.
"Dealing with property loss can be traumatic and overwhelming, not to mention possibly devastating financially," Hollowell said. "My guest on this month's episode, Patti Striho, explains how public adjusters help to protect homeowners when disaster strikes."
"Insurance 101 with Butch Hollowell," a monthly show, is aimed at educating consumers about automobile and home insurance issues. The 30-minute program explains confusing insurance terms in plain language, answers individual consumers' insurance-related questions, and provides viewers with helpful tips and tools so that they are well-prepared to buy the best insurance coverage for the money.
Hollowell hosts the show and interviews invited guests, including insurance agents and experts from the insurance industry. A regular feature of the show is an "Ask the Advocate" segment in which a consumer asks Hollowell an insurance-related question.
"Insurance 101 with Butch Hollowell" has been released to more than 80 cable stations statewide and is expected to run multiple times throughout each month. New shows will be produced monthly. Check local listings for air dates and times. Previous episodes can be viewed by visiting the Insurance Advocate website at www.michigan.gov/lowerratesnow.
As Michigan's Automobile and Home Insurance Consumer Advocate, Hollowell works to educate consumers on how to protect themselves against predatory or illegal insurance practices and coordinate advocacy and educational efforts with non-governmental consumer advocacy entities and other organizations.
