Murphy’s Law: Now Officially Sponsored by Murphy Insurance

If something can go wrong, it will go wrong—especially if your name is Murphy.

So, starting today, D. Francis Murphy Insurance Agency is proud to announce that we are now the official sponsor of Murphy’s Law.

That’s right.

After years of unofficial affiliation, we’ve finally embraced our destiny. We figured, if the universe is going to name a law after us, we might as well own it. From mysteriously missing packages to coffee spills on laptops, we’ve seen it all—and insured most of it.

Our new slogan? “When Murphy’s Law strikes, call Murphy Insurance.”

Here are a few highlights of our new coverage options rolling out today:

  • Spilled Wine Protection – Because white couches are a gamble.
  • Lost Sock Liability – Finally, accountability for dryer-based disappearances.
  • Backyard BBQ Rain Coverage – Includes optional upgrade for soggy burger reimbursement.
  • Pet Zoom-Bombing Clause – Covers reputational damage caused by cats on keyboards and dogs in meetings.
  • GPS Misguidance Reimbursement – For when your “shortcut” turns into an accidental tour of three neighboring states.
  • Printer Freakout Coverage – Includes both printer connection errors and unexpected printer rebellion.
  • Holiday Light Untangling Assistance – We’ll send moral support and snacks. That’s all we can legally promise.
  • Dunkin’ Drop & Spill Coverage – For when your 20-ounce iced coffee and a dozen doughnuts fall to the ground as you are trying to open your car door.
  • Snow Day Childcare Clause – Coverage kicks in when you get the text from all your kids’ schools and chaos begins.
  • Aggressive Seagull Incident Insurance – For beach goers with awesome snacks and zero defenses.

Of course, these are completely fabricated – for now. But what’s not a joke is that when real-life chaos happens, Murphy Insurance has your back — with real policies, real people, and a local team that is there to pick up the phone at 800 222-8711, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Happy April Fools Day from your partners who help you navigate the unexpected. And remember: if something can go wrong, it’s better to be insured for what you can when it does.

P.S. Which coverages above do you need, like yesterday?
