The safety of our clients and team has always been our first priority. The #coronavirus (COVID-19) has likely had an impact on our personal and business lives, and we continue to monitor this evolving situation closely.

Vargas & Vargas Insurance is prepared to have our staff work from home and will follow all instructions set forth by federal and state authorities. 

We will be able to provide the same service and customer care as we have in the past. However, the situation is very fluid and we trust you will understand if it takes a little longer than usual to respond to you. There are various ways to reach our team:

Via a call 617-298-0655
Via a text 617-409-0329

Or,  Click here  to access our  online customer service center  to view your insurance policies, print insurance ID cards, update your contact information, download documents, and so much more.

If you have traveled to ​China, Iran, South Korea, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong​ or have been in contact with someone who is ill because the incubation period for this virus is two weeks. Please refer to the  CDC  website or  mass.gov  as resources for any updates and refrain from any interactions with the public.

The best way to help yourself and others from spreading the virus is to practice good prevention methods.

1. Wash your hands frequently with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds.
2. Use hand sanitizer when unable to wash your hands.
3. Sneeze and cough into your elbow, not your hands!
4. Avoid touching your face (eyes, nose, and mouth) with unwashed hands.
5. Stay home if you are feeling sick and avoid close contact with others who may be sick.
6. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects (including cell phones).

If you are experiencing the above symptoms, please seek medical attention right away and call the healthcare facility ahead to let them know you are coming!

It is more important than ever to strengthen our social bonds. Seniors face particular health risk from this virus, yet taking precautions only reinforces social isolation. Please take the time to call, text, or send a message to your neighbors. Ask if any elderly friends or neighbors need help with grocery shopping. Remind them to stock up on prescriptions and to make provisions for child care in case they may need to seek treatment. Consider setting up a phone tree or email list for your block so that people can be in touch about what they need.

Stay healthy, wash those hands and let’s remember our neighbors!

In Massachusetts, all drivers are required to register their vehicles and purchase compulsory auto insurance coverage. To ensure that drivers comply with state insurance laws, drivers must turn in their license plates before canceling their auto insurance policy. And if you are transferring your Vehicle’s ownership, it is your responsibility to properly register and insure the car before driving on state roads. Leaving your license plate on the car could make you liable for the actions of another driver.

A personal umbrella policy provides additional liability protection beyond the liability limits that you now carry on your home, renters, or condo insurance and auto insurance. If you are sued and exhaust your existing liability coverage, the umbrella policy will take care of the remainder up to the limit you selected.
