Identity Theft

Why Do I Need this Coverage?

Identity theft can take a toll on a victim’s credit history, not to mention your nerves. The average victim spends 60 hours and $1,200 restoring a stolen identity. Proper coverage can save you time, stress and potential financial exposure from lost income and legal costs.
