SAN MATEO, Calif. (PRWEB)

Driving for many—once an everyday part of life—is now a rare occurrence because of Coronavirus or COVID-19. And when you do get out on the road, it can be really stressful: Rushing to the grocery store before the lines start, mentally rewriting your essentials shopping list, or putting on your mask and gloves while driving. These are understandable behaviors given the times, but they also qualify as distracted driving.

NEA Member Benefits and the NEA Auto & Home Insurance Program provider, California Casualty, want you to stay focused on the road when behind the wheel. However, we would also like to give you a bright spot of news against the negative COVID-19 stories that surround us these days.

California Casualty is rewarding NEA members who make a promise to drive safely with the chance to win a new Jeep® Compass—a popular crossover SUV valued at $25,000. All it takes is a visit to http://www.WinAJeepCompass.com/NEA before October 4, 2020.

The “Keep on Course” Giveaway is our way of helping create a movement to make our roads safer for everyone and take a stand against distracted driving.

“Your safety is important to us,” said California Casualty Sr. Vice President Mike McCormick. “We appreciate everything you do and we know that your commitment extends beyond school to your home and family.”

Here’s your chance to dream about something fun and exciting. NEA members can join the drive to “Keep on Course” and be entered to win at http://www.WinAJeepCompass.com/NEA. Not only will you be helping make our roads safer, but you’ll be in the running for a brand new SUV—it’s a double win. The campaign will run through October 4, 2020. The winner will be announced in October or November.

Educators can also take the safe driving effort into their classrooms, with the free evidence-based materials from Impact Teen Drivers at http://www.impactteendrivers.org.

“… we took the Mercury Insurance Concert Series and moved it online, giving music fans the chance to discover new music, while also providing financial support for some incredibly talented artists.”

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
May 04, 2020

Music festivals and concerts have been cancelled or postponed in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, as social distancing is recommended over mass gatherings to curb the continued spread of the disease. These talented artists make their living performing live gigs, but the pandemic has left them scrambling for different ways to generate income. Today, Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY) announced the company is sponsoring four artists to bring live performances to fans and music lovers.

Music – both performing and listening to it – can be therapeutic and a welcome distraction from life spent entirely at home, which is the current reality for the majority of Americans.

“Music feeds the soul, and live music in particular creates incredible emotional connections that can bring the world together during this difficult time,” said Erik Thompson, Mercury’s vice president of advertising and public relations. “Many of these artists are struggling, however, as much of their income has dried up because they aren’t able to tour.

“As a longtime sponsor of live music and festivals, we wanted to do something special for music fans, while also helping artists in their time of need. So, we took the Mercury Insurance Concert Series and moved it online, giving music fans the chance to discover new music, while also providing financial support for some incredibly talented artists. And the best part is that fans may find they could save a lot of money if they switch to Mercury Insurance!”

The Mercury Insurance Concert Series kicks off on May 8, 2020. The virtual performances are open to any music fan who wants to tune in. Simply visit http://www.mercuryinsurance.com/MICS to check out a free concert. And fans who choose to get a fast, free online auto insurance quote also help support the artists, because Mercury is making a financial contribution to each artist for each completed quote.

Featured musicians for the Mercury Insurance Concert Series include:

• 
  Jordan Rudess (May 8, 5 p.m. PDT): Voted “Best Keyboardist of All Time” by Music Radar Magazine, Jordan Rudess is best known as the keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire for platinum-selling Grammy-nominated progressive rock band, Dream Theater. He has been the full-time keyboardist with Dream Theater since the recording of 1999’s “Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory.” He has recorded nine other studio albums with the group: 2002’s “Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence,” 2003’s “Train of Thought,” 2005’s “Octavarium,” 2007’s “Systematic Chaos,” 2009’s “Black Clouds & Silver Linings,” “A Dramatic Turn of Events,” the self-titled “Dream Theater,” 2016’s “The Astonishing,” as well as their newest album “Distance Over Time.” Rudess has released 10 solo albums, including his latest “Wired for Madness,” which came out in 2019.

Releasing solo project, “Tree House Tapes – EP” (2017), and launching his fresh alt-pop project OVERSTREET with “Man on the Moon – EP” (2019), plus standout tracks like 2018’s “Carried Away,” he continues to fuse his confessional songwriting roots with propulsive energy in brand new music like his current sizzling single, “Summertime.” Pulling inspiration from icons like Elvis Presley, Marvin Gaye, The Beach Boys, and The Police, the Nashville native was raised around strong country songcraft thanks to his GRAMMY Award-winning father Paul, who penned hits including “When You Say Nothing At All,” “Forever and Ever, Amen” and “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.”

Now, he’s excited for music fans to hear what he’s been working on since then, including his newest singles “Lost in Her Beauty” and “Spinning Wheel.”
• Emily Coupe (May 13, 5 p.m. PDT): An Australian pop/folk artist with a soul twist, Emily Coupe’s fusion of sounds has developed over the years, with influences ranging from singer/songwriter staples Jewel, Alanis Morissette and Sheryl Crow.

“The current coronavirus outbreak will have lasting impacts on consumers’ behavior regarding car insurance. While usage-based and on-demand car insurances are not that popular today, the current crisis will act as a catalyst to make them more popular”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
May 04, 2020

Young adults are among the most affected groups financially by the current COVID-19 pandemic. Those who are about to enter the workforce are likely to have lower wages and will also have had less time to start building savings. 18-24 years old young adults have low levels of job security due to heavy presence in sectors like retail, leisure, and hospitality that were seriously affected by the coronavirus outbreak. Many of them are looking to make as many savings as they can. Car insurance is one area where customers look to save some money.

Most young adults have less than $1,000 in their savings account. While more and more states are imposing shelter-in-place restrictions and are instructing people to stay home, traditional insurance products like house insurance or boat are seeing a decline. Most people feel that they are less likely to be burgled during the COVID-19 outbreak.

While car insurance is difficult to cancel due to legal requirements, policy owners can make some adjustments to their policies and switch their comprehensive policies to usage-based or on-demand insurance in order to reduce costs. This move can be especially popular among young drivers who have to pay higher premiums due to their inexperience and their likelihood to be involved in accidents more often.

While this shift in behavior can be challenging for large insurance companies, small specialized insurers will benefit from the move. Usage-based car insurance providers will become more popular due to the fact their customers will pay less on their premiums when they are using their cars less often. Also, on-demand insurance companies will become more popular because they allow their customers to switch on and switch off their covers and pay only for the periods they need to be insured.

Given Alera Group’s depth and breadth, our team of geographically-diverse experts felt compelled to come together to provide valuable resources to employers who are not only struggling with how to keep their businesses afloat, but also handle the very human aspect of caring for employees.

DEERFIELD, Ill. (PRWEB)
May 04, 2020

Alera Group, a national employee benefits, property and casualty, retirement services and wealth management firm, today released an extensive report detailing the effects of COVID-19 on 10 sectors hit hardest during the pandemic. The report, COVID-19 Industry Impacts, incorporates assessments and expertise from both employee benefits and property & casualty experts across the country.

“The industries we addressed in our report are facing significant, unprecedented challenges in light of COVID-19,” says Sally Prather, Alera Group’s Employee Benefits Practice Leader. “Given Alera Group’s depth and breadth in both the property & casualty and employee benefits markets, our team of geographically-diverse experts felt compelled to come together to provide valuable resources to employers who are not only struggling with how to keep their businesses afloat, but also handle the very human aspect of caring for employees.”

Headed up by Employee Benefits Practice Leader, Sally Prather, and Property and Casualty Practice Leader, Mark Englert, the informative report details the pandemic’s impact on agriculture, construction, higher education, healthcare, hospitality and gaming, manufacturing, nonprofit organizations, the public sector, restaurants, and small businesses.

While each of these 10 industries is facing its own set of nuanced challenges, many are grappling with absenteeism, remote and virtual working environments, workers’ compensation, risk management, and business interruption. “One thing is certain: this is not business as usual. Economic uncertainty is forcing businesses to contemplate a post-COVID-19 world,” says Mark Englert, Property and Casualty Practice Leader.

Continues Englert, “Our report is geared at helping employers in each of these 10 industries successfully navigate unchartered territory.”

Another point that comes across loud and clear in the report: now is the time for any business to be partnering with their broker to contain costs and control risks.
