Imagine a world without consequence. A world in which your actions no longer lead directly to your death. A world in which our specially trained team monitor you every minute of every day, and if we think you’re about to have an accident, we freeze time; fill out the required paperwork, charge you a standard premium fee, restart time and place you back just out of harms way. Well, don’t imagine anymore, because we are ‘J.M Insurance’…. and ‘Your Life’, is in ‘Our Hands’
