Homes from the 1960s and 1970s: ask about the wiring
More than a third of homes here were built in the 1960s and 1970s. Aluminum branch wiring went into some homes built from 1965 to 1973, and carriers ask about it because the connections can overheat. If your house has it, tell us whether it's been repaired or replaced, and when.

That's $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for injuries you cause, and $25,000 for property damage. Most households need more. Our guideline is liability equal to 2.5 times household income or net worth, whichever is greater.
Every Alabama auto policy includes uninsured motorist coverage unless the named insured rejects it, and a rejection carries over to renewals with the same insurer until you ask for the coverage in writing. It also pays when the at-fault driver's limits are too low to pay for your injuries. On one policy covering several cars, your recovery can include the coverage for up to two additional vehicles.
