So Don’t Be Afraid of Car Insurance! HALLOWEEN IS ALMOST HERE
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and it’s only a few weeks away! You likely already know this if you’ve visited a grocery store in the last two months. It seems like they put out Halloween stuff earlier and earlier every year.
lost wages due to injury, so that $10,000 will disappear quickly if you suffer a severe injury. After that money is gone, any other expenses come out of your pocket.
Additionally, Florida is a no-fault state, which means each person pays for their own accident expenses, regardless of who is at fault. However, the other driver could sue if they suffered more damages or injuries than you did. If the court determines you acted negligently, you would have to pay additional damages. Financially, this could set you back significantly. To avoid this situation, consider adding bodily injury liability insurance to your policy. Bodily
While many of us have fond memories of dressing up in costumes and trick-or- treating for the holiday, this is also a time to confront some big fears. You might not tackle your fear of public speaking, but if you’re bothered by ghosts, clowns, dolls, or any other iconic monster, you might watch a movie featuring your fear so you can conquer it. However, there’s one topic not featured in any film that can cause feelings of panic, anxiety, and fear: car insurance.

coverage. This will keep you covered if the driver who caused the accident has no bodily injury liability coverage or
does not have enough to reimburse your losses. Uninsured motorist coverage will kick in after your personal injury protection has been fully used. This is so important to have in our state, as 1 in 5 Florida drivers are uninsured. Car insurance doesn’t have to be scary. When you understand the different coverages and how they protect you, you can create a policy that keeps you and your family safe.

and keeping up to date with any changes to local or state laws, you can rest easy knowing you have the right insurance coverage for your situation. Let’s walk through some of the basics of car insurance so you can ensure you have the best possible coverage. In Florida, every standard four-wheeled vehicle must have a minimum of $10,000 for personal injury protection and $10,000 for property damage liability. Unfortunately, this amount is not enough to protect you if you’re involved in a serious accident. Personal injury protection will pay 80% of your medical bills and up to 60% of any

They Seem Too Dumb to Be True! HILARIOUS REAL-LIFE CRIMES
Today, we have tons of podcasts, YouTube videos, TikToks, and documentaries about true crime. It seems like we can’t get enough of learning about the person behind heinous crimes and their motives. But what about the crimes you can’t help but laugh at because they’re almost too funny to be true? Here are two crimes you won’t believe happened because of how silly and, for the lack of a better term, dumb they are! DON’T FORGET TO LOG OUT OF FACEBOOK! Nicholas Wig broke into James Wood’s house one night and stole his credit cards, cash, watches, and more. However, the 26-year-old thief left his Nike shoes, jeans, and a belt at the scene of the crime … but that’s not all.
into. But after realizing the thief had accessed Facebook on his computer, he decided to post on Nicholas’ account that he (Nicholas) had broken into his
(James’) home. James also shared his phone number in case anyone had any additional information. Nicholas contacted James over text, and the two agreed to meet in person. The thief thought if he went to James’ home and returned the stolen items, everything would be fine — but that’s not how things played out. As soon as James spotted Nicholas walking toward his home, he called the police. When law enforcement arrived, they arrested the thief on the spot. MONOPOLY MONEY DOESN’T WORK IN THE REAL WORLD. Michael Fuller stopped by Walmart to purchase a vacuum cleaner and microwave
for $476. But instead of paying with real money, he decided to pay using a million- dollar note from the game Monopoly. The gentleman then demanded that he receive $999,524 from the cashier since he would need cash back for his “purchases.” The cashier called the police, and Michael was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretenses. Can you believe these hilarious crimes?! Do you know of any we should highlight next time? We would love to hear from you!
When James got home, he was stunned to see his house had been broken

THE AVERAGE FLORIDIAN? We’ve Got Hockey Fever! OUR NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ORLANDO SOLAR BEARS
Hockey has never been more popular in the state of Florida than right now. When the Tampa Bay Lightning were first founded in 1992, many wondered how a professional team would fare in the Sunshine State. The following year, the Florida Panthers played in their inaugural season, and hockey has only grown more popular since. Now, we have two successful NHL franchises and many other mid-level professional teams in the state. There’s no hockey team more exciting to watch in Orlando than the Orlando Solar Bears, and we have some big news you’ll be delighted to hear! The DeWitt Law Firm (JustCallMoe.com) is now the official attorney of the Orlando Solar Bears. This is the first time that our firm has ever been a sponsor for a professional sports organization, and we couldn’t be more excited about this new partnership! We’ve greatly enjoyed watching the Solar Bears since they returned to Orlando in 2012. We know the best years are ahead of the team and can’t wait to watch as they make a push to win the Kelly Cup this season.
You might see Moe interact with the coaches, players, and even Shades, the Solar Bears mascot, when you go to games. We’ll host some promotions during their games and have plenty of Solar Bears/ Moe DeWitt merchandise giveaways throughout the season. We’ll even operate a booth within the arena, so if you see us there, make sure you stop and say hello! This is a recent development, so be sure to keep an eye on our social media for more information and future updates. We’re thrilled to take our support for the Orlando Solar Bears to the next level. We hope to see you at Amway Center on Oct. 19 for the Solar Bears’ home opener against the Florida Everblades!
By now, you’re probably wondering what this partnership means. To start, you’ll now find our firm’s logo on the ice at the Amway Center!

Simple, Affordable DIY Projects You’ll Love Get Your Home Fall-Ready
Housewares stores are currently full of cute autumn decor, but the cost of refreshing your house’s look each season adds up quickly. Fortunately, you can do a lot for less. Many DIY crafts are not as complicated as you might think. In addition to saving money, you’ll create personalized charm none of your neighbors can match. REPURPOSE YOUR PUMPKINS. Small gourds are incredibly versatile. Just sprinkling a few around your dining room table or mantle makes it feel like fall. But you can quickly elevate them using metallic paint to add cute designs, phrases, or names. Another option is to wrap seasonal fabric around them like a pouch, gathered at the stem. If you feel more ambitious, you can also use pumpkins to make succulent planters. Cut a crater in the top of the pumpkin, pop in the succulent and soil, and press the dirt until snug. LIGHT UP THE NIGHT. The soft glow of a lantern or candle is the perfect way to get the cozy vibes started. Instead of succulents in the top of your pumpkin, you can set wax and a candle wick to create something unique. If you’re bored with pumpkins, try the same with acorn caps. An even simpler idea involves glazing real or fabric leaves on the outside of mason jars
with craft glue. Then add decorative stones and a wax or battery- operated tealight for a seasonal twinkle. DECORATE YOUR DOOR. Wreaths are a DIY staple for
several reasons. They’re easy for beginners to make and can set the tone for your home by offering visitors an autumnal focal point. You
can buy a variety of starter wreaths at the craft store, so find one that suits your taste. Then pick up other supplies like leaves, pine cones, dried corn, and ribbon. Now you’re ready to hot glue to your heart’s content and create something distinctive. If you need further ideas, look closer the next time you shop. Many of the fun fall items for sale aren’t very difficult to make yourself with a few minor adjustments and a little creativity.
