As humans we all make mistakes. Sometimes, though, we make really big mistakes that can cost a lot of money. Even when we take lots of preventative measures and are super careful, things can happen and mistakes can be made. I recently made one of those mistakes. Luckily, I had laptop Insurance and it saved me a lot of expense that would have resulted from my silly mistake. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not had it. See, I left my laptop on the top of my car and drove off. Not good. I approached the first stoplight, hit the brakes, and my laptop flew off of the car and landed in the road in front of me. This was not one of my brighter days.

I looked at my laptop sitting in the road and my mouth just hung open. I stared at it, not believing that I had done something so foolish and careless. Of course, it was an accident, but this was a costly, destructive accident! I put my car in park, got out and retrieved my laptop. Of course, it would not work. It wouldn’t even turn on, not a flicker. I sat there just thinking about what I had done. My laptop is my life line. I use it to keep my records, track my stocks, and basically run my life. Now, it was in pieces on the seat beside me. I had just changed jobs and really did not have the cash to purchase a replacement. My life was literally flashing before my eyes.

Then I remembered that my wife had insisted I get laptop insurance in the uk. I drove directly home and located my policy. It covered accidental damage. I was thrilled. I called the company that day and filed my claim. In no time I had a replacement laptop. This was the best thing that could have happened. Getting that laptop insurance was the smartest thing I have ever done - next to marrying my smart wife, that is! My laptop insurance saved my neck! Of course, I did have to take some ribbing from my wife when I told her how my laptop got destroyed, but I am so glad that she had me get the insurance.

Now I am much more careful when I put things on the top of my car. I am much more careful when I get in my car, I check to make sure that I have not left anything on the top. Yes, this silly little mistake could have cost me a bundle, but it didn’t thanks to my laptop insurance. I still make mistakes, many of them silly and thoughtless, but few as costly as the one I made on that day. I am much more careful now, though. In fact I do a lot of things differently. For instance, I listen to my smart wife a lot more closely!
