Tony Scurich, Principal/Broker – Scurich Insurance – Part 2
Tony has been in the insurance business since 1981 and with Scurich Insurance since 1983. He feels the biggest misconception that the public has today about insurance costs is that a cheaper policy is better; however it is not always the best policy. The public has a perception that insurance agents just try and pad their bank accounts, when really they are just finding gaps in coverage for a customer. This benefits them if a claim is filed in the future, so they are adequately covered.
Tony says that the most critical coverage for a young family is life insurance, especially when you are younger, because it is cheaper to obtain. For an elderly person, long term care is most important and businesses need to have sufficient liability coverage and business interruption. Tony feels the Scurich Insurance brings a lot of value and education to their customers with a staff that is always there to understand and solve customer issues.

A Watsonville bank robbed on Friday is offering up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest in the takeover-style armed heist, the FBI announced this week.
FBI agents and Watsonville police detectives are investigating the afternoon holdup at Bay Federal Credit Union in the Freedom Center. The two robbers came into the bank around 1:15 p.m., brandished a gun, ordered about 15 customers and employees to the ground, then stole an undisclosed amount of cash, police reported. As they fled, the robbers fired a single gunshot into the floor, police said. No one was injured, according to the FBI.
Witnesses described the suspects as two males, possibly Hispanic or light-skinned African American. Both were wearing dark “hoodie” pull-over sweatshirts. Witnesses observed a late model, Black Nissan Altima leaving the scene, possibly driven by a get-away driver, meaning there were three men involved in the heist.
Investigators ask anybody with information as to the identity or whereabouts of the robbers to call 911. They should be considered armed and extremely dangerous. The FBI can be reached 24 hours a day at 415-553-7400. All calls are confidential. The Watsonville Police Department crime tip line is 831-768-3354 or the investigations bureau can be reached at 831-768-3350.
Scurich Insurance can help your business get insured in the event of a robbery with Business Insurance.
