Identity Theft

It seems that every day we read in the news about identity theft. The Washington Post reports that over 50 Million accounts have been exposed to the possibility of identity fraud since the beginning of the year. The McLaughlin Company decided to do something about it for our clients. We have purchased for all our Personal Lines clients at, no cost, a St. Paul Travelers Identity Fraud Expense Coverage Master Policy with up to $25,000 in coverage and no deductible. Just by reason of being a personal lines client of The McLaughlin Company you are covered.

Some highlights of the coverage are:

  • Lost wages as a result of time taken off work to deal with the fraud up to $500 per week for four weeks.
  • Notary and certified mailing charges.
  • Fees to reapply for loans that were denied due to erroneous credit information.
  • Long distance telephone charges.
  • Attorney fees incurred, with St. Paul Traveler’s consent, for defending suits, removing criminal or civil judgments, and challenging information in a credit report.



We are always looking for better ways to serve our clients. When you need insurance think The McLaughlin Company.
