Buenos Dias Kevin, Carmen, and Rosita,
Dan and I wish to extend our heartfelt THANKS to all of you for helping us through the incident with the crazy lady at Price Smart who accused us of hitting her car. Kevin, you went way out of your way to assist us by coming to our aide in person. And Carmen and Rosita, your prompt response to my frantic phone call with policy number information was also greatly appreciated.

It is important that you check your fire insurance policy to make sure that is contains coverage for flood and water damage.
Fire Insurance policies for structures in the Republic of Panama are similar to those issued in the USA, Canada and Europe. The basic fire policy usually includes "extended coverage" for occurrences other than fire.
Carmen and Kevin,
I want to thank you for your help regarding the accident I had in Chitre in July of this year.
With your help and the excellent service of the insurance company I had absolutely no problem regarding this accident.
I had to go to a hearing before a Judge as to fault ( this is the procedure in Panama I understand ) and was treated very well and did not feel ill at ease being a "gringo".
Hello Kevin,
Thanks again for all the help you gave us during the trauma with the van. It was a difficult time for me and you were a rock, which I know helped us through many tough spots. I am sorry when there was confusion. A lot of people were involved in coordinating the fix-it job on my end also. But it all worked out and everyone performed well. I have attached a note with some of my thoughts about the process. More..
Good article from PG "Be aware of your surroundings"!
DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - I received the following today from Kristin (snip). She narrowly avoided becoming the next victim of an "express kidnapping" in Panama City just yesterday afternoon. While playing poker at the Veneto last night I was told of yet another expat who wasn't so lucky as Kristin.

The recession and deflation are seeing prices for all sorts of services, goods and commodities fall in real terms. Some say this is a downward spiral that’s hard to break as we all wait for prices to fall before we buy anything – but that aside for a moment, there is one ‘commodity’ or service that’s actually fast increasing in expense, and that’s health insurance.
