Friday the 13th, Monday the 27th, and Your Atlanta Car Insurance

August 13th, 2010 by Lloyd Pro Group

Lloyd Pro Group, your favorite Atlanta Car Insurance agency wants to wish you a Happy Friday the 13th… But if you thought Friday the 13th was the un-luckiest day, think again. Insurers say it’s actually Monday the 27th. So be extra careful and bring your rabbit’s foot keychain that day, instead!

Looking at over one million insurance claims, analysis has revealed that auto accidents are more likely to happen on Monday the 27th than on any other day.

Researchers have uncovered a disproportionate series of other bizarre non-auto related mishaps which have occurred on this day, including:

  • One man put his foot through a ceiling while getting Christmas decorations from the attic.
  • On the same day, an absentminded woman flooded her house after leaving the bath taps running
  • Another’s pet cat started a house fire by knocking over a candle.

Also happening with greater frequency were crashes in parking lots, tree branches falling on cars, and accidents caused by trying to avoid animals. It is thought that Monday the 27th could hold greater risks than other day because the combination of post-weekend tiredness. Another factor could be that the end of the month contributes to increased carelessness.

Nationwide Insurance processed around five percent more claims on Monday February 27 than would be expected on any other average day. The good news: they don’t seem to happen as often as Fridays the 13th, which occurs about 3 times a year. The next one in next month, though, so be careful!

The fear of Friday the 13th, technically known as paraskevidekatriaphobia, is thought to have its origins in the Bible, as it was on a Friday when Eve took a bite from the apple, when the great floods began, and when Jesus was crucified. It also marked the end of the Knight of Templar.  The significance of the unlucky number 13 could date back to early Western civilization, when it was thought to represent devil worship.

Of course, we, here at Lloyd Pro Group, would recommend you be careful each day, and are by no means superstitious, it is more informative that we bring you this story. Enjoy your day, whether it be Friday the 13th, Monday the 27th, or any other day. But be careful!

Atlanta Nationwide Insurance and codespotter.com – Get your points NOW!

August 11th, 2010 by Lloyd Pro Group

Lloyd Pro Group, representing Atlanta Nationwide Insurance, is proud to bring you NASCAR Nationwide codespotter.  NASCAR teams count on their spotters. You can win BIG when you become a spotter too!!

When you are watching a race on TV or even in the stands, it seems amazing how the drivers know exactly what to do and when- where to nose in or ease off, whether to go high or low around a turn, all at speeds ranging from 90-190 miles per hour! The slightest mistake can be devastating. Do you know how they seem to just KNOW what’s coming?

Spotters are the most important guys on the team. Because of all the safety devices the driver has to wear, he can’t turn his head to see if there is a car beside him, debris in the roadway, or what’s in front of the car in front of him- and that is where the spotter comes in.. He tells a driver where cars are, and if an accident occurs on track.

What spotters say is paramount to a driver’s race and chosen wisely. A slight stutter or spike in a spotter’s pitch has the potential to unnerve a driver who relies heavily on that voice to steer him clear of accidents, debris, passing traffic and, on rare occasions, airborne tires and such.

YOU can be a Nationwide Spotter this race season with Lloyd Pro Group… Check out Nationwide Insurance Code Spotter Sweepstakes. Just register on the website (takes just a few minutes) and look for codes to win points. You can “spot” the codes on TV, online, or at your track. Enter the codes on codespotter.com and then spend your rewards to win NASCAR Nationwide series “prizes”!

Atlanta Home Insurance and your A/C

August 5th, 2010 by Lloyd Pro Group

Lloyd Pro Group, your choice for Atlanta Home Insurance keeps you up to date and informed about the news you want to read about… Today’s reading is something we can all relate to this week- this dreadful Atlanta heat wave and how to keep cool!

Atlanta area air conditioning repair shops say they’ve been overwhelmed with calls. People say either their air conditioning isn’t cool enough or, in some cases, not working at all.

While A/C repair shops tend to be busiest this time of year, they say this extreme weather we’re experiencing has them slammed. With temperatures well over 100 degrees some days, he says it’s been tough trying to fix everyone’s A/C.  No one wants to sit in this sweltering, humid, heat any day, but there are some that get preferential treatment: those who have medical conditions, elderly people, and those with young children in the home.

If you are experiencing A/C issues, and have to wait, there are some things to do: run fans, keep your blinds closed, keep cooking and running your dryer to a minimum as both can heat the home, and above all, keep yourself hydrated! You can also run by a home store and pick up a window A/c unit for pretty cheap… Might be worth it!

Although you’re A/C is not covered by your Atlanta Homeowners Insurance, but you might want to look into a home warranty company like Old Republic Home Warranty- a good idea especially if you are selling or purchasing a home. Lloyd Pro Group is your only choice for Home Insurance in Atlanta 404-892-2864.
