Illinoisans Urged to Review Insurance Policies
CHICAGO (AP) -- Illinois insurance authorities are urging residents to review their automobile, health, homeowner's and renter's policies during the winter season.

Illinois Department of Insurance director Michael McRaith says checking on insurance policies ensures residents understand and have the right protections. He says anyone who has a question about their insurance policies can call the department toll-free to ask an insurance professional.

The department suggests skiers check policies before hitting the slops to see if equipment is covered and review their plan's emergency medical treatment requirements.

Insurance experts also suggest reviewing policies before snowmobiling, snow plowing and removing snow at their homes.
