What is a payor benefit rider?
A payor benefit rider is an optional life insurance add-on that allows a policy to remain active if the payor (the person paying for the policy) is unable to continue making payments due to death or total disability. Payor benefit riders are commonly added to policies taken out on someone else's behalf, such as a parent who buys a life insurance policy for their child and pays the premiums themselves. The payor benefit rider ensures that the child will keep their coverage if their parent dies or suffers a disability that leaves them unable to work.
How does a payor benefit rider work?
If you're paying the premiums for a life insurance policy with a payor benefit rider and aren't the one insured by the policy, then you're considered the payor. In the event you're totally disabled or pass away, then you or the policyholder/insured can file a claim to have the remainder of the policy's premiums waived.
Payor benefit riders typically have an expiration date
Payor benefit riders expire at certain ages, for both the insured and the payor. Some expire when the insured reaches the age of 21, when they may have the financial means to pay for their policy themselves. Payor riders may also expire when the payor reaches retirement age, such as age 60 or 65. The exact ages and conditions when a payor benefit rider expires varies by insurer and the type of policy. Check with your insurer if you have questions about when your policy's payor rider may expire.
PAYOR BENEFIT RIDER VS. WAIVER OF PREMIUM DISABILITY RIDER
A payor benefit rider applies to policies where the payor and the insured are two different people. For example, a parent who buys life insurance for a child and pays for it would be listed as the payor, while their child would be the insured. A waiver of premium disability rider applies to a policy where the insured and payor are the same person, allowing them to keep their coverage if they can no longer pay for their policy due to a qualifying disability.
Do I need a payor benefit rider?
If you're planning to buy a life insurance policy on behalf of a child or other relative, then a payor benefit rider is worth considering. Without it, your loved one may be unable to afford their policy if something were to happen to you. With a payor benefit rider, the insurance company would become the payor and allow the policy to remain active for as long as the rider allows. | https://www.progressive.com/answers/payor-benefit-rider/ | 521 |
How to make Risk Assessments, JSA, Take 5 Easy?
The construction industry has many names for assessing hazards and risks
The construction industry has a way of bringing a grown tradie to his knees, you may even find him in the fetal position under his desk at the mere mention of needing to do a Risk Assessment.
“So, let’s make some changes and make Risk Assessments easier,” said my good wife in her great wisdom of making things simple.
So, stay reading for a couple of minutes to find out how to make Risk Assessments easy.
Three things you need to understand before we start:
- Hazard – Anything that can cause harm or loss
- Risk – The possibility that harm or loss might occur as the result of a hazard
- Control – manage risk by eliminating health and safety risks so far as is reasonably practicable, and if it is not reasonably practicable to do so, to minimise those risks so far as is reasonably practicable
The Why, When, Where and How of Risk Assessments for the construction industry
Written by, a Tradies Wife, creator of Projects One Safety Online, the ‘simplifier’ of all thing’s safety.
WHY Create awareness, identify hazards and who may be at risk, determine controls and most importantly prevent injuries or illnesses
WHEN Some reasons for doing a Risk Assessment are:
WHERE Onsite where a risk assessment should be done. Try doing it on your phone in the Projects One Safety Online Application. It’s quick and easy!
HOW Start by consulting your team onsite,
- Record the date and detail the location of the hazard, risk or issue
- Identify the persons likely to be affected (e.g. employees, public, etc.)
- Describe the hazards, risks or issues
- Use the Risk Calculator criteria to determine the likelihood and severity that loss, damage or injury would occur as a result of the hazard
- Determine the Consequence that would result of this loss, damage or injury did occur, using the Risk Calculator criteria for consequences
- Determine the Risk Score by using the Risk Calculator and your Likelihood and Consequence scores. This will give you a risk score of High, Significant, Moderate, or Low. Place this in the column labelled Risk Score (Before Controls)
- Determine the control measures to be implemented to control the hazards/risks using the Hierarchy of Controls. To determine the most effective controls to put into place, start with the most effective controls at the top of the pyramid
- Conduct a second risk assessment to determine the risk score (using the Risk Calculator and repeating steps 6-8) after the control measure is identified and selected for implementation. This will enable you to determine if the risk score has been satisfactorily reduced.
- Allocate a responsible person to ensure the control measures are implemented and a proposed date for their completion. If you have a Supervisor ask them to verify that these actions are completed
- Print and sign your name and the names and signatures of any persons participating in the assessment
Q&A – One question I get asked a lot is:
“is ok to just keep a generic Risk Assessment in the ute?”
my answer is always “no”,
Each jobsite is different; therefore, the hazards are different. Keep a template in the ute and each time you need to do a risk assessment pull it out and write up a new Risk Assessment. Remember you can’t create awareness and prevent injuries if your Risk Assessment is in the Ute and never updated or looked at.
Projects One Safety Online makes Risk assessments easy, quick to update and always available on your phone.
Remember, every morning as you prepare for work ask yourself, what’s different about today? If something is different you need to revise your safety! | https://www.projectsonesafety.online/how-to-make-risk-assessments-jsa-take-5-easy/ | 807 |

Brokers in the foreign exchange market (Forex) facilitate transactions between individual traders and institutional investors. The help of such people might provide the decisive advantage you need to achieve your Forex trading goals. Though they will be trading your actual money in your account, you may still make any and all calls you choose. Brokers in the foreign exchange market are available to help you with your trades for a cut of your profits.
A Forex broker may provide you with the following services:
- You may get guidance on current market conditions from a Forex broker.
- A Forex broker may provide recommendations on what to purchase and sell based on data from various news sources.
- If you have a Forex account with a broker, the broker is free to make all trading decisions for your account based on their own judgment.
- If you’re trading Forex, your broker may also provide access to trading software data to assist you in making educated judgments.
Finding a reliable foreign exchange broker may be a time-consuming ordeal. Forex traders often are unsure who to select as a broker due to the abundance of online advertisements. Selecting a reliable and trustworthy Forex broker from the available options might be challenging. You can choose a reliable Forex broker with little investigation.
If you don’t have somebody to recommend a Forex broker to you, you may always perform some independent research. First, you should inquire how many customers a Forex broker has. Trust in these brokers grows in proportion to the customers they serve. It’s also important to know how many deals each broker does daily.
Quality Forex Brokers
Forex brokers make money mostly via the spread. The spread is the difference between the bid and asks prices for a currency pair at any moment. Keep an eye on the spread charges while searching for a broker. A smaller spread means greater savings and a quicker path to generating a profit from trading. Currency trading requires leverage since price changes are often just a few cents.
Leverage is often represented as a percentage of your initial deposit relative to the amount your forex broker is willing to lend you. To illustrate, consider the 200:1 ratio. In other words, the forex broker will loan you two hundred times the amount you deposit. Remember that the more leverage, the higher the chance of a margin call, but the higher the possible reward.
Suppose you’re just getting started in the forex market with a small amount of money. In that case, it’s important to choose a broker that gives you enough leverage to work with. This will allow you to better manage the level of risk you’re willing to accept. Most of the main forex brokers provide their customers with access to various trading resources.
In addition to a wide range of other resources, most brokers also provide their clients access to live, up-to-the-minute currency values. If you want to make money trading forex, you need a broker who gives you access to everything you could possibly need. In addition, you may use:
- Live, updated charts of currency values
- Technical Analysis Instruments
- Fundamental analysis comments

There are two types of auto insurance. Most drivers know about a personal policy, which covers liability and physical damage to a vehicle you own or one that you were involved in an accident. The other type focuses on vehicles that are utilized by businesses. This is known as commercial auto insurance.
This form of policy is needed if the vehicle is utilized as a part of an occupation or business. For instance, someone who uses their car for a drive-through pet-grooming company would probably need a commercial policy. On the other hand, someone who drove their car to work and left it in the parking lot would be insured through personal car insurance.
This form of insurance covers more than standard passenger cars. It also insures commercial vans used for the transportation of passengers or materials. Furthermore, it covers different types of trucks utilized in daily operations such as box, food, and service trucks.
A commercial auto insurance policy covers individuals who drive these vehicles on behalf of a business. Unlike a personal auto policy, they don’t own the cars, vans, or trucks they drive. They are simply the operator.
However, not anyone can drive these vehicles. Similar to personal auto insurance, those who are designated to operate the cars, vans, and trucks need to be named in the policy.
Here are some of the items that are covered in a commercial auto insurance policy:
Comprehensive physical damage pays for damage related to theft, fire, vandalism, or natural circumstances like floods.
Bodily injury deals with payment for harm or death that results from an accident that’s your fault. This form of liability coverage normally provides the defendant with legal counsel.
Combined Single Limit (CSL) combines maximum limits to claims for both bodily injury and property damage.
The policy will help cover medical payments for those individuals involved in an accident. This includes the driver and passengers.
Property liability handles payments if a vehicle damages another person’s property. This too provides a defendant with legal services.
Collision coverage pays out when your commercial vehicle strikes or is hit by another object.
Commercial auto insurance premiums are calculated through a variety of factors. One is the past driving history of those who need to be insured. The business' track record when it comes to previous claims can also play a role.
An additional factor is the amount and types of vehicles the business uses. Rates can be lower if these are small or mid-sized passenger cars or vans. The premiums can increase if the fleet consists of larger service trucks.
On top of this, should the insurance company handle other types of policies with the business, they might be combined with a commercial auto policy. As a result, the calculations could result in an overall lower premium. | https://www.coverwallet.com/business-insurance-glossary/commercial-auto-insurance | 558 |
Involved in a Hit and Run Accident? Now What?
You are driving along when you are hit by another vehicle. You pull over, but the other driver keeps on going. What happens next?
It’s important to know what to do in such a situation, since hit and run accidents occur quite often and chances are, you may be involved in one in your lifetime. On average, there are 682,000 hit and run crashes in the United States every year. Many of these are fatal.
While most hit and run victims are pedestrians and bicyclists, other motorists can be victims as well. It is illegal to flee the scene of an accident. However, many people do because they don’t have insurance and are afraid of the repercussions. In some cases, drivers are intoxicated or may not even know that they hit someone.
In any case, it’s important to take the proper steps following such a crash. Here’s what you need to do.
This can be hard to do when a vehicle leaves the accident scene, but if possible, write down all the details you can remember about the vehicle. Knowing the make, model and color can be useful for police to successfully track down the driver. Any part of the license plate is also helpful. You should also note the direction the vehicle was headed, as well as date, time and location of the accident. If there were any witnesses, you’ll want to gather their contact information.
Report the Accident
Report the accident as soon as possible by calling the police and providing them with all this information. You should also contact your insurance company to file a claim. If you can locate the other driver, you can file a claim with their insurer.
If the driver cannot be found, then your insurance company will take care of the claim. However, you may be on the hook for damages, depending on your insurance coverage. If you have uninsured motorist coverage, then your insurer will treat the accident as if the other driver was uninsured. This means that your insurance company will pay for the damages. If you don’t have this insurance, you’ll likely have to pay for your damages out of pocket. Make sure you have this coverage just in case.
Get Medical Treatment
If you or a passenger in the vehicle was injured in the crash, make sure you get the help you need. Time is of the essence, and if you wait too long or forego medical treatment altogether, then you might not get the compensation you need. Plus, you could make your injuries even worse if you don’t treat them promptly. See a doctor or visit an emergency room right away and follow your doctor’s advice.
Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer
Hit and run accidents can cause serious injury and even death. Know the steps to take after being involved in one so you can get the compensation you deserve.
The Houston hit & run lawyers at The West Law Office, PLLC can guide you through the process and ensure you understand your rights. Your insurance coverage may protect you in these situations.

The most crucial thing for workers to understand is that they must notify a supervisor right once of any workplace injuries they have. Your body might be damaged by an injury. It is a generic phrase that covers hurt brought on by accidents. You must disclose injuries that develop gradually as soon as you understand they are caused by your job.
What Do I Do If I Get Hurt at Work?
With a significant gig economy, constant building, and one of the largest entertainment sectors in the world, California is home to a number of thriving and expanding companies. Sadly, there will inevitably be serious accidents in such industries. Workers frequently suffer severe injuries as a result of another party’s negligence. You may be able to file a personal injury claim after an accident to obtain compensation for your damages if you are an independent contractor.
It might be challenging to determine whether your injury was brought on by a careless coworker. You should talk to an expert lawyer at KAASS LAW about your legal rights and choices. Our skilled Glendale third-party work injury attorneys can investigate your case thoroughly and take legal action against the responsible party who brought about your trauma.
Familiar Types of Third-Party Work Injury Claims
Unfortunately, occupational accidents occur often throughout Los Angeles County. They frequently happen as a result of an accident that was started by a third party, such as a contractor. If you were hurt by one of these parties, file a personal injury claim to get compensated for your losses.
You may bring a third-party personal injury claim in the following circumstances:
- Vehicle mishaps that occurred as you were commuting to work or between jobs
- Getting hit by a careless vehicle in a work zone.
- Being hurt while working as a contractor on a dangerous property
- Using substandard goods, such as faulty vehicle parts, heavy machinery, and power tools
- Slipping and falling in a poorly maintained or noncompliant office building
- Being hurt in an escalator.
- Being attacked because of a security issue.
It’s crucial to get medical attention after any of these instances and notify the appropriate authorities, such as the police, a property owner, or animal control, about what happened. Your medical history as well as any reports will be very helpful in proving your case.
How to Establish Liability for a Workplace Injury
Depending on the kind of accident you were in, your liability may change. For instance, drivers have a general duty of care to others and are held responsible for any harm they cause. However, only safety risks that property owners should have fixed or reasonably should have known about subject them to liability.
You have three main options for suing a third party for a work-related harm, including:
- Personal injury claims: are the most inclusive kind of claims you may make because they cover any third party that has harmed you.
- Claims for Premises Liability: are made against property owners who should have known about a safety issue.
- Product Liability Claims: Depending on who is at fault, you may be able to make a claim against the producer if you were hurt.
You should keep track of all the possible causes of a workplace injury in order to prove culpability. Witness testimony, witness statements, and visual evidence may all be crucial in your case.
When to Bring an Injury at Work Third Party Claim
Due to the negligence of third parties, numerous workers in California experience severe injuries that result in high medical costs. However, you may be able to recoup these expenses from the person who damaged you through a third-party claim. It is challenging to determine if you qualify to make a claim, so you shouldn’t wait to speak with a lawyer following an accident. Our goal is to assist you in obtaining the highest settlement in order to make life easier. | https://www.kaass.law/blog/2022/10/what-do-i-do-if-i-get-hurt-at-work/ | 780 |
It’s easy to assume that car insurance companies want to keep your business as long as possible. Consumers who shop around for the cheapest rate are very likely to move their business because of the good chance of finding a more affordable policy premium. A recent car insurance study revealed that consumers who shopped around annually saved $865 a year compared to those who never shopped around for lower prices.
If finding budget-friendly rates on insurance in Oakland is the reason you’re here, then having a good understanding how to get rate quotes and compare car insurance can help simplify the process.
If you want to find the absolute lowest rates, then the best way to get cheaper Lexus RX 350 insurance is to compare prices once a year from insurance carriers in Oakland. Prices can be compared by following these steps.
- Step 1: Try to learn about individual coverages and the factors you can control to lower rates. Many factors that result in higher rates like your driving record and a bad credit score can be improved by making small lifestyle or driving habit changes.
- Step 2: Compare price quotes from exclusive agents, independent agents, and direct providers. Direct companies and exclusive agencies can only give rate quotes from one company like GEICO or State Farm, while independent agencies can provide prices for many different companies. Get quotes now
- Step 3: Compare the new rate quotes to your current policy premium to see if switching to a new carrier will save money. If you find better rates and change companies, make sure there is no lapse between the expiration of your current policy and the new one.
- Step 4: Provide notification to your current company to cancel your current coverage and submit a signed application and payment to the new insurer. When you receive it, place the new certificate verifying proof of insurance in your vehicle’s glove compartment or console.
An essential thing to point out is to use the same deductibles and limits on each quote and and to analyze all possible companies. Doing this helps ensure an accurate price comparison and a good representation of prices.
The companies shown below have been selected to offer quotes in Oakland, CA. If you want to find the best cheap car insurance in California, we suggest you compare several of them to get a more complete price comparison.
Insurance coverage analysis
The price information displayed below showcases estimates of coverage prices for Lexus RX 350 models. Being aware of how insurance policy premiums are established can help customers make decisions on the best policy to buy.

Data variables include single female driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $500 deductibles, and California minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, multi-vehicle, homeowner, claim-free, and safe-driver. Estimates do not factor in garaging location in Oakland which can raise or lower auto insurance rates significantly.
Physical damage deductible comparison
When comparing auto insurance rates, the most common question is what deductibles to buy. The following insurance rates may aid in understanding the differences in premium rates when you choose different deductibles. The first rate estimation uses a $100 comprehensive and collision deductible and the second price chart uses a $1,000 deductible.

Cost estimates assume married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and California minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, claim-free, safe-driver, multi-vehicle, and homeowner. Rate quotes do not factor in specific location which can lower or raise coverage prices significantly.
We can estimate from the data above that using a $100 deductible will cost in the ballpark of $56 more each month or $672 each year than buying the higher $1,000 deductible. Due to the fact that you would have to pay $900 more if you file a claim with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you tend to go at a minimum 16 months between claims, you would most likely save money if you choose the higher deductible.
The diagram below shows how different deductible levels and can influence Lexus RX 350 insurance costs for different insured age categories. Data assumes a married female driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, and no other discounts are factored in.
Lexus RX 350 liability-only versus full coverage
The example below shows the comparison of Lexus RX 350 insurance costs with full physical damage coverage compared to only buying the minimum liability limits required in California. The data is based on no claims or violations, $500 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are applied to the premium.
Guidelines for dropping full coverage
There is no set rule to delete physical damage coverage, but there is a general guideline. If the annual cost of comprehensive and collision coverage is more than 10% of the replacement cost minus the deductible, then you might want to think about dropping full coverage.
For example, let’s say your Lexus RX 350 book value is $9,000 and you have $1,000 full coverage deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled, the most you would receive is $8,000 after the deductible is paid. If you are currently paying more than $800 annually for physical damage coverage, then you may need to consider dropping full coverage.
There are a few cases where eliminating full coverage is not financially feasible. If you still owe money on your vehicle, you have to keep full coverage as part of the loan conditions. Also, if you don’t have enough money to buy a different vehicle if your current one is totaled, you should not drop full coverage.
Why you need quality insurance for your Lexus vehicle
Even though it’s not necessarily cheap to insure a Lexus in Oakland, car insurance is required by state law in California and it also provides benefits you may not be aware of.
- Most states have compulsory liability insurance requirements which means you are required to buy specific minimum amounts of liability insurance in order to drive the car legally. In California these limits are 15/30/5 which means you must have $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $5,000 of property damage coverage.
- If you took out a loan on your RX 350, almost every bank will force you to have full coverage to guarantee their interest in the vehicle. If coverage lapses or is canceled, the bank or lender will purchase a policy for your Lexus at a much higher premium rate and require you to reimburse them for the much more expensive policy.
- Car insurance protects both your assets and your Lexus. It will also cover medical expenses that are the result of an accident. As part of your policy, liability insurance also pays expenses related to your legal defense if you are named as a defendant in an auto accident. If your car is damaged in a storm or accident, comprehensive and/or collision insurance will pay all costs to repair after the deductible has been paid.
The benefits of buying enough insurance greatly outweigh the cost, especially if you ever need it. According to a survey of 1,000 drivers, the average driver is overpaying more than $810 a year so compare rate quotes at every renewal to help ensure money is not being wasted.
Companies offer lots of discounts on Lexus RX 350 insurance in Oakland
Car insurance is not cheap, but there’s a good chance there are discounts that you may not even know about. Many of these discounts will be applied automatically when you purchase, but some discounts are required to be manually applied before you will receive the discount.
- Senior Citizens – Drivers that qualify as senior citizens are able to get a discount up to 10%.
- Theft Deterrent Discount – Cars and trucks equipped with tracking devices and advanced anti-theft systems help deter theft and will save you 10% or more on RX 350 insurance in Oakland.
- Discount for New Cars – Buying a new car model can save you some money compared to insuring an older model.
- Cautious Drivers – Drivers who don’t get into accidents could pay up to 40% less than drivers with accident claims.
- Multi-policy Discount – If you insure your home and vehicles with one insurance company you may earn at least 10 to 15 percent or more.
- Membership in Organizations – Joining certain professional organizations may earn a discount when getting a Oakland car insurance quote.
Remember that most discount credits are not given to your bottom line cost. Most cut the price of certain insurance coverages like comp or med pay. So when it seems like adding up those discounts means a free policy, insurance companies aren’t that generous.
The diagram below shows the comparison of Lexus RX 350 annual premium costs with and without discounts applied to the rates. The premium estimates are based on a female driver, no driving violations, no at-fault accidents, California state minimum liability limits, comprehensive and collision coverage, and $100 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with marriage, safe-driver, claim-free, multi-car, homeowner, and multi-policy discounts applied.
A few of the larger companies and some of their more popular discounts can be read below.

Can’t I compare rates from local Oakland insurance agents?
A small number of people would rather get advice from a local agent and that is just fine! Most agents are highly skilled in risk management and help you file claims. The best thing about getting online price quotes is the fact that you can find cheap insurance quotes and still have a local agent. Buying from local insurance agents is still important in Oakland.
By using this quick form, the coverage information is sent to insurance agents in Oakland that can give you free Oakland car insurance quotes and help you find cheaper coverage. You never need to visit any agencies because prices are sent directly to your email. In the event you want to get a price quote for a specific company, you would need to jump over to their website and give them your coverage information.
What type of Oakland car insurance agent is right for you?
If you are wanting to purchase insurance from a good Oakland insurance agent, you need to know there are two different agency structures that differ in how they can insure your vehicles. Agents in Oakland are either independent (non-exclusive) or exclusive. Both can write policy coverage, but it’s important to point out how they are different because it can factor into which type of agent you select.
Independent Insurance Agencies or Brokers
Agents that elect to be independent are not employed by any specific company and that gives them the ability to insure with any number of different companies and find the cheapest rate. If you want to switch companies, the agent simply finds a different carrier and you don’t have to find a new agent. When comparing insurance prices, you definitely need to get some free quotes from at a minimum one independent agency in order to have the best price comparison. Many write coverage with lesser-known insurance companies that may have much lower rates than larger companies.
The following is a short list of independent agencies in Oakland that may be able to give price quotes.
- Fred Loya Insurance
1620 High St STE B – Oakland, CA 94601 – (510) 434-1801 – View Map
- Fiesta Auto Insurance Center
4102 International Blvd – Oakland, CA 94601 – (510) 261-1300 – View Map
- Aviation Marine Insurance Services
5707 Redwood Rd – Oakland, CA 94619 – (510) 530-4415 – View Map
These agents can only provide one company’s prices and examples are Farmers Insurance and State Farm. These agents are not able to place coverage with different providers so they have no alternatives for high prices. They are usually well trained in insurance sales and that allows them to sell at a higher price point. Drivers often purchase coverage from exclusives primarily because of the brand legacy rather than low rates.
Shown below is a list of exclusive agencies in Oakland who can help you get comparison quotes.
- Kristen Law – State Farm Insurance Agent
3940 High St c – Oakland, CA 94619 – (510) 530-3200 – View Map
- Farmers Insurance – Lorraine Yip Yung
1168 Franklin St – Oakland, CA 94607 – (510) 832-5113 – View Map
- Allstate Insurance: Liz Drennan
4170 Piedmont Ave c – Oakland, CA 94611 – (510) 594-2090 – View Map
Choosing the best insurance agency should depend on more than just a cheap price quote. These are some questions your agent should answer.
- If you have an accident, will your rates go up?
- Can they help ensure a fair claim settlement?
- Are there any discounts for paying up front?
- Did they already check your driving record and credit reports?
- Do you qualify for any additional discounts?
- Is the agency active in community causes in Oakland?
- Is coverage determined by price?
Once you have positive feedback to all your questions and locked in a price quote, it’s possible that you found an auto insurance agent that is reputable and can insure your vehicles. Just understand that you are able to terminate coverage whenever you choose to so never feel that you’re stuck with a specific agent with no way out.
When should I discuss my situation with an agent?
When it comes to coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Your financial needs are unique so your insurance should reflect that
For example, these questions might help in determining if your insurance needs will benefit from professional help.
- Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
- Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
- When would I need rental car insurance?
- What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in California?
- Does car insurance cover theft of personal property?
- When should I remove comp and collision on my Lexus RX 350?
- What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
- Is there a penalty for late payment?
- Is a driver training discount available?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you may need to chat with an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form or click here for a list of car insurance companies in your area. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and can help protect your family.
What car insurance coverages do you need?
Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are the usual coverages found on most car insurance policies.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits (California limits are 15/30/5), it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Usually the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Medical payments coverage and PIP – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses like dental work, doctor visits and ambulance fees. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Coverage for liability – This can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 15/30/5 that means you have $15,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $30,000, and a total limit of $5,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability can pay for things such as legal defense fees, medical expenses, loss of income and bail bonds. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford. California requires drivers to carry at least 15/30/5 but it’s recommended drivers buy better liability coverage.
The next chart shows why low liability limits may not be enough coverage.
Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like theft, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, falling objects, fire damage and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision coverage – This covers damage to your RX 350 resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car, crashing into a building, scraping a guard rail and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to raise the deductible on your RX 350 to save money on collision insurance.
One last note
When shopping online for car insurance, it’s very important that you do not skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. In many instances, someone sacrificed physical damage coverage only to regret that it was a big mistake. The proper strategy is to get the best coverage possible at an affordable rate, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
We’ve covered some good ideas how to save on Lexus RX 350 insurance in Oakland. The key thing to remember is the more rate quotes you have, the better chance you’ll have of finding affordable Oakland car insurance quotes. You may even find the lowest premium rates are with an unexpected company. These smaller insurers can often provide lower prices in certain areas than the large multi-state companies such as State Farm, GEICO and Nationwide.

2. Accidental damage costs:
There are a lot more chances that an accident will happen than a natural disaster. Accidents are a common thing in any city or even a rural area. Actually, you can find yourself in an accident more often than you think even if it was not your fault. A car insurance policy will be very effective at keeping you financially protected.
3. Personal injury ramifications:
Serious car accidents can end up harming you and other people you may have with you in the vehicle. Medical bills resulting from such accidents can end up getting you broke in a single stroke. It is better, to keep your well being and protect your finances, to have an auto insurance policy that covers personal injury.
4. Peace of mind:
Most people do not give a lot of value to spiritual peace, but you should. Peace of mind it's essential for your productivity and health. You can ensure your peace of mind by just having a car insurance policy protecting you against any risk.

A recent study highlighted how AFFF manufacturers intentionally concealed the cancer risks from firefighting foam for decades.
A former firefighter says he and other emergency responders were unknowingly exposed to a risk of cancer from firefighting foam for years, because manufacturers failed to warn about the potential health risks and the importance of minimizing exposure.
John Wilkes, a former firefighter from California, filed a complaint (PDF) in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina on July 13, indicating that 3M Company, Chemours, Du Pont, and numerous other chemical and safety equipment manufacturers should be held responsible for his prostate cancer diagnosis.
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been used for decades by the U.S. military and local fire departments to combat fuel-based fires. However, a growing number of firefighting foam cancer lawsuits are now being pursued, each raising similar allegations that the manufacturers failed to disclose the long-term risks associated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contained in AFFF, which have been shown to build up in the body and increase the risk of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, kidney cancer and other injuries.
Firefighting Foam Lawsuits
Exposure to firefighting foam chemicals may result in an increased risk of cancer for firefighters, military and airport personnel.
AFFF Manufacturers Knew of Cancer Risks
Wilkes indicates in the lawsuit he regularly used and was directly exposed to AFFF during his career, indicating that toxic chemicals in the firefighting foam caused his prostate cancer diagnosis years later.
“Exposure to Defendants’ AFFF has been linked to serious medical conditions, including, but not limited to, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, liver cancer, testicular tumors, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, bladder cancer, thyroid disease, and infertility,” according to the complaint, which points to years of research that establish manufacturers knew or should have known their firefighting foam was endangering emergency response workers and the public at large.
Just last month, a new study was published by researchers who gained access to industry documents held by the UCSF Chemical Industry Documents Library, highlighting various strategies employed to hide how manufacturers knew about the toxic side effects of PFAS chemicals as early as the 1970s.
It took another 40 years for the public to learn about the serious health risks, those researchers determined. Wilkes’ complaint indicates this purposeful deception led to him and many other firefighters developing prostate cancer and other malignancies.
In another recent study, researchers found that firefighters were 60% more likely to die of cancer than the general population, indicating that firefighters were nearly four times more likely to die from prostate cancer and twice as likely to die from kidney and bladder cancer.
“Plaintiff was unaware of the dangerous properties of the Defendants’ AFFF products and relied on the Defendants’ instructions as to the proper handling of the products,” Wilkes’ lawsuit states. “Plaintiff’s consumption, inhalation, and/or dermal absorption of PFAS from Defendant’s AFFF products caused Plaintiff to develop the serious medical conditions and complications alleged herein.”
Wilkes presents claims of negligence, battery, inadequate warning, design defect, strict liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of warranty, and wantonness, and seeks both compensatory and punitive damages.
July 2023 Firefighting Foam Lawsuit Update
The case filed by Wilkes will be consolidated with hundreds of similar firefighting foam lawsuits being pursued in the federal court system, including claims brought by former military and civilian firefighters, as well as claims brought by individuals who lived near military bases where the chemicals were dumped into the environment and local municipalities left to deal with the cost of removing PFAS from tab water supplies.
Given common questions of fact and law presented in the litigation, all AFFF lawsuits are currently centralized before U.S. District Judge Richard M. Gergel in the District of South Carolina, for coordinated discovery, pretrial proceedings, and a series of early bellwether trials.
In June, 3M Company and other manufacturers agreed to pay over $12.5 billion to settle PFAS water contamination lawsuits brought by local water suppliers, who were seeking damages for cleanup costs associated with removing the toxic chemicals from local water supplies. However, the companies continue to face individual injury lawsuits brought by firefighters and individuals who drank water known to contain high levels of PFAS chemicals.

Flood insurance is a critical protection mechanism, especially in flood-prone areas. It provides financial security against damage caused by floods, ensuring your property and possessions are safeguarded.
Understanding Flood Insurance
Flood insurance is a specific policy that covers property losses from flooding. It’s distinct from standard homeowners’ insurance and is essential for comprehensive coverage against flood damage.
Types of Flood Insurance
Flood insurance can be obtained through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or private insurers, each offering unique coverage options and limits.
NFIP Flood Insurance
The NFIP, backed by the federal government, offers flood insurance to homeowners in participating communities. It has set coverage limits and is a popular option for many.
Private Flood Insurance
Private flood insurance policies are provided by independent insurance companies. They often offer higher coverage limits and more flexible terms compared to NFIP policies.
Importance of Flood Insurance
Given the increasing frequency of flooding events, flood insurance has become a necessity for homeowners and renters alike, providing essential financial protection.
Flood insurance ensures you’re financially protected against the costs of repairing or rebuilding after a flood, which can be substantial.
In many high-risk flood areas, having flood insurance is a requirement, especially if you have a mortgage from a federally regulated lender.
Regular homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover flood damage. Flood insurance fills this critical gap, providing the necessary coverage.
Peace of Mind
Knowing that you’re protected against flood-related losses brings peace of mind, especially in areas susceptible to flooding.
What Flood Insurance Covers
Flood insurance policies have specific coverage terms that you need to understand to ensure your property is adequately protected.
This includes coverage for damage to the physical structure of your home, such as walls, roofs, and foundations.
Personal Property Coverage
Flood insurance also covers personal belongings damaged by floods, like furniture, electronics, and clothing.
Additional Coverage Options
Some policies offer additional coverage for expenses like temporary housing if your home is uninhabitable due to flooding.
Limitations of Flood Insurance
There are certain exclusions and limitations in flood insurance policies that you should be aware of.
Exclusions in Coverage
Typical flood insurance policies do not cover certain areas and items, such as basements, landscaping, and cars.
Both NFIP and private flood insurance policies have maximum coverage limits, which might not cover the total cost of damage in severe cases.
Acquiring Flood Insurance
Choosing the right flood insurance policy requires understanding your risk level, comparing options, and selecting the coverage that meets your needs.
Assessing Risk and Coverage Needs
Evaluate your property’s flood risk and decide the extent of coverage you need based on potential flood damage scenarios.
Choosing a Provider
Compare offerings between the NFIP and private insurers, considering factors like coverage limits, premiums, and exclusions.
Purchasing a Policy
Once you’ve chosen a suitable policy, complete the purchase process, keeping in mind the waiting period before the coverage takes effect.
Filing a Claim
In the event of a flood, knowing how to file a claim promptly and efficiently is crucial for reimbursement.
Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible to report the damage and initiate the claims process.
Document all flood-related damage with photos and detailed descriptions to support your claim.
Working with Adjusters
An insurance adjuster will assess the damage. Provide them with all necessary information and documentation to facilitate your claim.
Common Myths Debunked
Understanding the realities of flood insurance is essential in overcoming misconceptions and making informed decisions.
Myth: Flood Insurance is Only for High-Risk Areas
While especially important in high-risk areas, flood insurance is beneficial for any homeowner due to the unpredictable nature of floods.
Myth: Homeowners’ Insurance Covers Flood Damage
Many homeowners mistakenly believe their standard insurance covers floods, which is usually not the case.
Conclusion: Navigating Flood Insurance for Optimal Protection
Flood insurance is an essential safeguard for your property, offering financial protection and peace of mind. Understanding its coverage, limitations, and the process of acquiring and utilizing it is key to maximizing its benefits.
Frequently Asked Questions About Flood Insurance

- Does flood insurance cover mold damage?
– Mold damage is covered only if it’s a direct result of a flood covered by the policy.

– Yes, renters can purchase flood insurance to protect their personal belongings. | https://cakesandevents.ng/comprehensive-guide-to-flood-insurance-coverage-limitations-and-essential-insights/ | 993 |
State Senator Cecil Staton (R-Macon) is sponsoring Senate Bill 276 which would allow Georgia drivers to add 100 percent of an under/uninsured motorist (UM) insurance policy on top of the at-fault driver’s liability policy. UM insurance is additional coverage that protects individuals who are hit by drivers with a low level of insurance, or none at all.“For surviving victims of drunk driving crashes, medical bills are their greatest hurdle,” said Denise Thames, executive director of MADD Georgia. “Having the ability to get full benefit of their UM policy and the at-fault drivers policy would be a tremendous gain. This is one way we can insure that all victim survivors are receiving the full benefit of what they have paid for in their premiums.”
Under current state law, an at-fault driver’s liability policy counts against – or eats into – the accident victim’s UM coverage. For example, a victim who paid for $50,000 in UM coverage would only receive half of that amount ($25,000) if they were hit by a driver carrying the minimum $25,000 in liability insurance. If the accident victim’s car repair and medical bills totaled more than $50,000, they would be responsible for payment out of their own pocket.
Thus, drivers who have faithfully paid extra premiums for UM coverage are often not able to access all of it when they need it most. Even worse, the insurance companies get to pocket whatever amount they are not required by law to pay out.
In fact, Georgia drivers only receive the full benefit of UM coverage if hit by an uninsured motorist. “Just because you paid for the extra coverage doesn’t guarantee you’ll get to use 100 percent of the policy when you need it,” said Allison Wall, executive director of Georgia Watch. “This is the reality for Georgia drivers today, and most don’t realize it.”
Nearly two dozen other states – including Alabama and South Carolina – allow UM stacking when the at-fault driver has minimum coverage. State Farm Insurance Company, the state’s largest car insurance carrier, estimates that the cost of UM policies in Georgia would increase on average between $2.50 and $4 a month if stacking were allowed.
According to State Farm’s data, Alabama drivers pay an average $28.75 premium for a six-month policy of $25,000 of UM coverage that will stack on top of an at-fault driver’s liability coverage. For the same UM coverage that doesn’t stack, Georgia drivers currently pay an average $13 premium.

Foco Two 800 Medium with Remote Controlled Burner
Foco Two 800 Medium is a 80 cm wide double-sided bioethanol fireplace that is built into the wall. This fireplace is welded all the way round and has an integrated automatic burner, which is remote controlled. The fireplace is designed to be built into a wall, from where you can see the flame from the front. Although the name of the fireplace is a bit long and can be confusing, it's actually very simple
The fireplace is part of our fireplace series called Foco, which are affordable built-in bio fireplaces.
Two means that it is a d-sided bio fireplace. So, it is possible to see flames from 2 sides of the fireplace.
800 is the width of the fireplace in millimetres.
Medium refers to the depth of the fireplace. In the medium versions, the Foco has a depth of 30 cm. This means that this built-in bio fireplace requires a wall that is 30 cm deep. A special feature of the Medium models is that they are welded together.
For the Foco Two 800 Medium, you have the option to choose between two different automatic bioethanol burners: Planika PrimeFire 700 or DecoFlame F3.
Both burners utilize the latest technology in automatic bioethanol fireplaces and are equipped with a wide range of safety sensors that can automatically extinguish the fireplace if any error is detected.
However, the two burners differ in terms of larger fuel capacity and 3 flame levels on the DecoFlame model, as opposed to just 2 flame levels on Planika's PrimeFire burner.
|Planika PrimeFire 700
|2.2 - 4.4 kW
|1.2 - 3.2 kW
|7.3 - 20 hours
Foco Two Medium is made of 4 mm thick stainless steel that has been black powder-coated. This gives the bio ethanol fireplace a neutral and timeless design that lets the flames take centre stage.
In addition, 2 pieces of tempered glass are included, which are placed on each side of the fireplace in front of the flame. In addition to the glass looking great, it shields the flames from draughts and small gusts of wind and therefore helps to provide a more stable flame. However, it is possible to choose not to fit the glass if you wish.
The Foco fireplaces have a variety of accessories available as a supplemental purchase. These range from general accessories and decorations to exclusive Foco accessories designed to help conceal screws and transition from wall to fireplace.
Included in the package
- Bioethanol burner (Depending on choice)
- Foco Two 800 Medium frame - factory pre-assembled
- 2x tempered glass (Height 10 cm)
- 4x brackets for glass
Installation of Foco Two Medium
The installation of the Foco Two Medium is relatively easy and does not require any special certification. You are therefore welcome to carry out the installation yourself.
The frame is delivered assembled from the factory and is therefore ready to be inserted into the wall when you receive it.
If you build the fireplace into a flammable wall, it is recommended that you insulate between the fireplace and the wall. For this we recommend heat insulating boards such as SkamoEnclosure wall boards, fermacell boards, or plasterboards.
It can be a little difficult to get a perfect edge around the fireplace when building it into an existing wall. We have therefore had an outer frame made, which is placed on the outside of the fireplace to hide any imperfections. Please note, however, that this is an optional extra and must be actively selected. | https://www.bioethanol-fireplace.co.uk/foco-two-800-medium---remote-controlled-burner_10146r63539.html | 757 |

Does New Zealand have earthquakes
Earthquakes happen every day in New Zealand. Approximately 14-15,000 occur in and around the country each year. Most of them are too small to be noticed, about 200 are large enough to be felt.
Most of these earthquakes are too small to be noticed, but between 150 and 200 are large enough to be felt. The country is situated in the collision zone between the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, resulting in frequent seismic activity. The main ranges running from Fiordland in the southwest to East Cape in the northeast are where most events occur, following the boundary between the two tectonic plates. Wellington is one of the most active seismic regions, followed by Napier and Hastings, while Auckland is one of the least active. Large earthquakes are less common in regions where the plates are not subducting, and the forces are accommodated in different ways. New Zealand has experienced at least 20 earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 7.0 since about 1850, and the country has stringent building regulations due to the earthquake risk. The 2011 M9.0 Tohoku, Japan, earthquake prompted a reassessment of seismic risk in New Zealand, particularly in subduction zones that have not experienced megathrust earthquakes. The country has many types of faults and earthquake sources, including subduction zone earthquakes, shallow strike-slip and thrust earthquakes, and normal faulting earthquakes and volcanism in the back arc in the North Island and northeast offshore. The largest city within the highest-risk zone is Wellington, followed by Napier and Hastings, all of which have experienced severe earthquakes since European settlement.
In summary, New Zealand is categorized as having a high risk of earthquakes, with the most active seismic regions being Wellington, Napier, and Hastings. These areas are prone to frequent and potentially large earthquakes due to the country's location in the collision zone between the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. Auckland, on the other hand, is one of the least active seismic regions in the country. The seismic activity is primarily concentrated along the main ranges running from Fiordland in the southwest to East Cape in the northeast, following the boundary between the two tectonic plates. | https://www.earling.co/blog/does-new-zealand-have-earthquakes | 451 |

Find out how cybercriminals hijack entire corporations to their benefit.
Good cybersecurity is about mitigating some risks while taking on others. It could mean choosing to risk getting yelled at by your boss instead of simply doing whatever you’re told. Nobody likes angering their employer. Cybercriminals know that and have used that fact to defraud companies of millions.
In today’s hyper-connected social environment, there is public data available on almost everyone – chief executives included. Enterprising cybercriminals are using this information to impersonate executives and trick businesses into making phony payments to offshore accounts. This attack method usually takes the form of a business email compromise (BEC). BEC scams are becoming frustratingly commonplace, earning cybercriminals billions of dollars every year.
Preventing this type of scam is critical to establishing a solid cybersecurity defence. It requires a highly organised approach to executive protocols.
How Do BEC Scams Work?
While many business leaders and IT professionals worry about safeguarding their systems from technical exploits, cybercriminals have begun to look at less demanding ways to siphon funds from legitimate enterprises.
The BEC scam, also called CEO fraud, works because of its simplicity. Instead of directly attacking an organisation’s IT system, cybercriminals impersonate top executives and use their authority to send illicit payments to hidden offshore accounts. The attack often because ground-level finance employees are unwilling to contradict their superiors. When an urgent email comes in, chastising an employee for not making a million-dollar payment to some client’s account, picking up a phone and calling the angry executive to verify the payment is the last thing on that employee’s mind.
Once the payment is made, it is often exceedingly difficult to track or recover. The ruse is only discovered well after the fact when the company discovers that the executive in question had no idea a payment was ordered. Only 4% of CEO fraud payment funds are ever recovered.
How to Prevent CEO Fraud
While large enterprises make obvious targets for CEO fraud, this attack happens to small and mid-sized businesses as well. It is relatively easy to trick a small business into paying a phony invoice, especially if the business itself is not well-organised.
There are several key security processes that small businesses and enterprise-level organisations need to implement to secure themselves against BEC attacks:
Identify High-Risk Positions. Anyone who wields institutional authority in an organisation is a risk. Finance, accounting, human resources, and C-suite positions are all popular targets because other employees rarely speak up when ordered to act by them.
Cultivate Security Culture. Annoying the CEO is worth protecting millions of dollars. Empower your employees to pick up the phone and verify urgent payments and other suspicious activities.
Enact a Cybersecurity Policy. Your company’s cybersecurity policy must cover the latest security risks and offer guidance on how to address those risks. This includes everything from dealing with potential phishing attacks to deploying two-factor authentication for financial processes.
Ultimately, there is no way to predict and protect against every single security threat. Organisations that put enough barriers between attackers and their goals can only hope to dissuade cybercriminals from exposing themselves while implementing policies that minimise risk.

What to Do Immediately Following a Heavy Storm
If you suspect damage, call your insurance agent immediately. Most major insurers have toll-free phone numbers.
If it is safe to do so, take pictures/video of any damaged property. For the most accurate results, keep notes and use inventory lists to help adjusters assess damages.
Be aware of your hurricane deductible ranging from 2 percent to 10 percent of your home’s insured value. For some policies, a $500 flat deductible applies. Whatever your deductible, you will be responsible for paying it. It is illegal for a contractor to waive your deductible. If they offer to - they are breaking the law.
Begin making temporary repairs to prevent further damage. Save all receipts. But don’t make permanent repairs until an insurance adjuster has inspected it. You have a duty to mitigate the damage (within reason - stay safe).
Do not dispose of damaged contents until authorized by your agent or claim representative.
Insurers usually don't pay for removal of trees or debris that blew into your yard without damaging an insured structure.
Let your insurer know how to reach you if your home is uninhabitable or you move somewhere else temporarily.
Don't assume that adjusters will know what street they are on; street signs may have blown away. Industry officials say spray-painting important information on homes after a hurricane has proven effective. But don't include your policy number; someone else may take advantage of that.
Be patient. Insurers usually send adjusters to the worst-hit homes first.
Many adjusters and agents are authorized to issue checks on the spot to cover the cost of temporary housing. Keep receipts.
Adjusters work for the insurance company NOT YOU. No matter how nice they seem. They are instructed to save the insurance company money by paying out as little as possible. If confused about your claim or dissatisfied with your insurance adjuster’s findings, don't hesitate to reach out to reach out to an expert.
Stay safe! Don't be a hero trying to do repairs yourself. You can seriously harm yourself or worse. Hazards such as standing water can electrocute you, debris can be treacherous to move. Just remember, none of this is worth your life or health. The best way to prepare is to use a proper insurance policy and a trusted roofing marketplace (Like us)to connect you with a roofing contractor who can help you with your roofing repair or replacement needs!

Smart consumers have a good feel for some of the elements that go into determining the price you pay for insurance. Understanding what influences your rates allows you to make educated decisions that can help you get better insurance rates.
Listed below are some of the factors companies use to determine your rates.
Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but you can get discounts that can drop the cost substantially. Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied at the time you complete a quote, but some must be asked about prior to getting the savings.
It’s important to note that many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to individual premiums such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. So even though it sounds like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies wouldn’t make money that way. Any amount of discount will help reduce the cost of coverage.
For a list of companies with the best insurance coverage discounts, click this link.
21st Century, Allstate and State Farm constantly bombard you with ads in print and on television. All the companies make an identical promise that you’ll save big if you switch to them. But how can every company make the same claim?
Different companies have a certain “appetite” for the type of customer that is profitable for them. For instance, a driver they prefer could possibly be over the age of 40, is a homeowner, and has a high credit rating. A customer getting a price quote who meets those qualifications will qualify for the lowest rates and therefore will save a lot of money.
Potential customers who do not match the “perfect” profile will be charged higher premiums which usually ends up with the driver buying from a lower-cost company. The ads say “customers that switch” but not “drivers who get quotes” save money. This is how insurance companies can claim big savings.
That is why drivers should get a wide range of price quotes. It’s impossible to know which company will give you the biggest savings on Lexus IS 300 insurance.
When it comes to buying adequate coverage, there really is no cookie cutter policy. Everyone’s situation is unique so your insurance should reflect that For instance, these questions might help in determining if your insurance needs might need professional guidance.
If you’re not sure about those questions then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the usual coverages offered by auto insurance companies.
This will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage pays for things such as medical services, funeral expenses, bail bonds, legal defense fees and court costs. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Medical costs insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for nursing services, chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, ambulance fees and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird, hitting a deer and vandalism. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your IS 300 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for claims like colliding with a tree, crashing into a building, rolling your car, colliding with another moving vehicle and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Discount 2003 Lexus IS 300 insurance can be purchased both online as well as from independent agents, so you should compare both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance companies don’t offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these smaller companies sell through independent agents.
You just learned a lot of ways to lower your insurance rates. The key thing to remember is the more quotes you get, the better your chances of lowering your rates. You may even discover the lowest premiums are with some of the lesser-known companies. Some small companies may cover specific market segments cheaper as compared to the big name companies such as State Farm and Allstate.

A leading UK lawyer has said that cyber-insurance can play a part in a business cyber-security strategy, so long as the risks are understood.
UK lawyer warns of cyber-insurance loopholes
In a presentation at the inaugural Cyber Security Start-up conference in London on Wednesday, Philip James, partner in the technology and digital media groups at Sheridans, spoke about intellectual property, security and how critical cyber-insurance is to a company's security strategy.
He mulled over what coverage cyber-insurance policies give you, and whether it can also cover suppliers such as web-hosting companies. This question alone, suggested James, should be one companies, including start-ups, are asking themselves.
“If you have an insurance policy hopefully it will cover certain instances, such as for PR and penetration testing costs, but it might not necessarily cover everything. There will be exclusions, and it's important to look at all of these.”
James also said that cost could be an issue, citing one ‘sizeable' customer who had been quoted £100,000 a year for a ten-year insurance cover. “It's not workable at all,” he said, further adding that companies would naturally split security expenditure as a risk mechanism. “Don't put all your eggs in one basket.”
James picked up on his point highlighting a former boss of his – a CISO at a small financial services company who would later move onto to the CIO position, who didn't care if Russian hackers were “bleeding £50,000 to £60,000” from his company a day, so long as they didn't interfere with the platforms generating billions of pounds each day.
“It's that scale, and about having that perspective,” the lawyer added.
Sarb Sembhi, director at Storm Guidance, was also at the event, and speaking to SCMagazineUK.comafterwards he said that the market is still in its infancy.
“I think it's true that there are exclusions,” he said, citing policy limitations and terms and conditions as potential loopholes.
“One of the problems with insurance policies is every policy may be different in how they define what malware, a virus or a PC is…or you may find out it doesn't cover a member of staff, which doesn't make sense in this age where insider attacks are just as likely.”
He admitted that there is a ‘danger' cyber-insurance gets used instead of – rather than as a bolt-on to - good security practices, but expects this to change over time.
“I think there's a danger that might happen in some cases, but this happens with immature products. The premium for these people adjusts accordingly as the market matures.”
Part of this maturity, says Sembhi, could see cyber-insurance follow the health insurance market in adopting an assessment before a premium is quoted – which enables the insurer to evaluate the risk before agreeing to a policy.
Sembhi's Storm Guidance is currently working with the Association of British Insurers (ABI) on a good practice guide for cyber insurance policy wording.
Cyber-insurance is expected to grow exponentially this year and during this last week alone, there have been some good examples of an emerging trend. One cyber-risk expert at German insurer Allianz told WSJthat the “number of deals had increased significantly”, while Lloyds CEO Beale said that 90 percent of insurance is being purchase by US firms.
“The US companies are ahead of the curve,” said Beale when speaking to Fortune. “Insurance used to be about concrete, protecting the loss of physical things. Now you have to get companies to insure against more intangible things.”
She added that the maximum cyber-insurance coverage any firm can purchase from Lloyds is US$ 300 million (£198 million). UK insurer Axa is considering offering similar policies in the country.
But James and Sembhi are not the only ones to cast doubts on cyber-insurance policies and premiums, as well as how secure these firms are themselves.
Shaun Crawford, global head of insurance at EY, said in an email to SC at the start of the year: “Cyber-risk will certainly be one of the biggest challenges to the insurance market in 2015. Cyber-crime is a moving beast, making it impossible to quantify the risks neatly or to calculate them in an informed or consistent manner. With so much unknown, it's not surprising that premiums are wildly different across the market, and without cross-market stability, the industry will most likely be operating on significant indemnity losses.
“It will no doubt be a matter of time before insurers simply refuse to accept the undefined transfer of risks. But, in the short term, it is likely that they will start to demand evidence of adequate cyber-risk controls from businesses that demonstrate they are taking cyber-crime seriously and are taking the necessary steps to avoid opening themselves up to attack. This will present a whole new problem of benchmarking what does and does not constitute ‘adequate control', which could put a spanner in the works, and result in cyber-risk effectively being incompatible with the insurance model.” | https://www.privacyrisksadvisors.com/news/uk-lawyer-warns-of-cyber-insurance-loopholes-by-doug-drinkwater/ | 1,108 |
With so much to think about as a new business owner, insurance may be the last thing on your mind. However, business insurance is vital for protecting your company from financial losses and liabilities.
Although business insurance may initially seem like a challenging subject, it’s really quite straightforward. In this guide, we’ll cover what insurance you must have for your startup or small business, and the policies you should consider for your business. Let’s get started.
What business insurance is mandatory?
Let’s begin with what the law requires. There is just one type of business insurance you are legally required to have as a business, and that is employers’ liability insurance.
As soon as you become an employer, you must get employers’ liability insurance from an authorised insurer, covering you for at least £5 million. This stands even if you only hire staff on a casual basis.
If an employee claims that they have sustained an illness or injury while working for you, employers’ liability insurance helps to cover the costs of legal defence, as well as any compensation that may be awarded to the employee in the event that the claim is successful.
Without this necessary insurance, your business could be subject to fines of up to £2,500 for each day you go unprotected.
Other types of insurance policies to explore
Although employers’ liability insurance is the only cover that is legally required as a business, there are other policies you should seriously consider if you are to offer your company the best protection possible from unforeseen circumstances.
This is common practice for all businesses, but it has become even more important in today’s unpredictable climate. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular types of insurance policies below.
Public liability insurance
This is one of the most popular types of business insurance. It provides coverage for businesses in case they are held liable for third-party injury, illness, or property damage resulting from their business activities or operations.
Public liability insurance (PL) is critical for businesses that interact with the public, such as restaurants, shops, and service providers, as accidents or incidents can happen at any time and may result in costly legal claims.
For example, if a customer is injured on your business premises, or if your business activities cause damage to someone else’s property, PL insurance can help cover the hefty costs of legal defence and compensation payouts if a lawsuit is filed against your company.
Not only this, but having PL insurance also gives customers and clients peace of mind, as it demonstrates that you take responsibility for your actions. In fact, some clients and suppliers, particularly in the trades industry, may request that you have this cover in place before they agree to work with you, meaning it could be crucial for your business.
Professional indemnity insurance
If you are a business that offers professional services and advice – this includes accountants, lawyers, consultants, and architects – you should strongly consider taking out professional indemnity insurance (PI).
With a duty of care to your clients, you can be held legally liable for any mistakes or omissions that may result in a client’s financial loss or damage. Mistakes are easy to make, so this insurance could prove to be a vital lifeline for your company.
PI insurance will cover the legal fees, compensation claims, and other expenses that may arise if a lawsuit or legal claim is made against you.
Again, similarly to PL insurance, some customers may insist you have PI insurance in place before they will agree to do business with you. So not having it could result in lost sales.
Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (D&O) is also an important consideration, if you are a director or company founder.
Since directors are at risk of being held personally liable for their decisions, they can be at risk of being sued by shareholders, employees, or stakeholders for any damages relating to alleged wrongful acts, errors or omissions. This could include things like breaching health and safety laws, misadministration of the company pension, or mistakes in financial reporting.
D&O insurance protects the individuals rather than the business as a whole, helping you mitigate penalties, including significant fines, disqualification, and even prison time. D&O insurance will help in your legal defence and settling payments, as well as other expenses that could occur.
When it comes to taking out D&O insurance, make sure to find a policy that includes cover for insolvency, as many insurance providers tend to exclude this from their terms.
Business equipment and office contents insurance
No matter the size of your company, contents cover could prove vital to the smooth running of your business.
Damage, theft, or loss of business equipment and office contents can disrupt operations and result in lost revenue. Having this insurance in place ensures business continuity, by protecting the physical assets belonging to your business that are instrumental in your day-to-day work, such as computers, smartphones, tablets, cameras, desks, and photocopiers.
You can find cover to include portable equipment, ideal when working remotely, as well as the standard cover which will protect all of the items you keep on-site.
Commercial building insurance
If you own the building in which your business operates, then this type of insurance is a must.
Commercial building insurance gives you the peace of mind that if your property becomes damaged – for instance in the unfortunate event of flooding or fire – then your building is protected.
Although this is not strictly a legal requirement, you’ll find that most mortgage providers will not grant you a loan without it.
It’s also crucial to note that commercial building insurance protects only the physical structure of the building, such as the walls, roof, floors, and foundation, as well as fixtures such as plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems. It doesn’t cover the contents inside, which will need to be insured separately with contents insurance, as mentioned above.
Cyber liability insurance
As firms deal with an increasing amount of data, cyber liability insurance has become even more important to businesses of all shapes and sizes.
If you deal with sensitive or confidential information, then you are at an increased risk of data breaches and cyber-attacks, which can have disastrous consequences, putting both clients and employees at risk.
Cyber liability insurance is designed to minimise the impact a cybercrime could have on your organisation, including cover for any legal claims, compensation costs, and potential fines relating to GDPR. In fact, some policies can even help support you with a PR response plan, which can be extremely helpful for recovering reputation and customer loyalty.
Hopefully, this blog has provided you with a clearer understanding of the different types of business insurance and how they can be beneficial for your company.
When it comes to purchasing your insurance, be sure to choose a policy that’s tailored to your business’s needs and provides you with flexibility should your circumstances change.

Knoxville residents rely on the convenience of Uber and Lyft ridesharing services to take them to work, appointments, shopping, and other places. Drivers earn extra income by using their own vehicles to transport passengers. The ridesharing process appears seamless until a car accident happens.
If you suffered serious injuries as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft vehicle—or if an Uber or Lyft driver hit your vehicle—you may be wondering who will compensate you for your medical costs and property damage. Should you file a claim against the driver, the ridesharing company, or both? What if the driver did not have adequate liability insurance?
When a ridesharing service goes from convenient to catastrophic, the Law Offices of Ogle, Elrod & Baril, PLLC, can answer your questions and help you seek maximum compensation for your injuries and property damage. Our experienced lawyers know how to navigate through the complex maze of filing insurance claims with ridesharing services. Call the firm today at 865-546-1111 for a free, initial case evaluation with an Uber and Lyft accident lawyer in Knoxville.
Why Do Insurance Companies Deny Ridesharing Injury Claims?
Insurance coverage has been a concern since Uber and Lyft started operating its ridesharing services in Tennessee. Initially, Uber and Lyft were not regulated by state laws or local ordinances like taxi cab companies or public transportation systems. Also, Uber and Lyft drivers—nationwide, not just in Tennessee—believed their personal auto insurance policy provided coverage for accidents. Auto insurers denied claims after discovering the drivers—whether or not they caused a crash—were using their vehicles as company employees without proper insurance coverage at the time of the accident.
How Do I Know If an Uber or Lyft Driver Has Auto Insurance Liability Coverage?
A state law that took effect on January 1, 2016, requires Uber, Lyft, and other ridesharing services in Tennessee to have specific types of insurance that protect drivers and their passengers. The Transportation Network Company Services Act requires drivers to obtain primary auto insurance coverage that recognizes them as a Transportation Network Company (TNC) driver.
Under the legislation, liability falls on a driver if they cause an accident while logged into the ridesharing company’s digital network or app, but they do not have a passenger. The driver must have primary auto liability insurance of at least $50,000 for death and bodily injury per individual, $100,000 for death and bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 for property damage.
A driver engaged in a prearranged ride must have primary auto liability insurance of a minimum of $1 million for death, bodily injury, and property.
If an accident occurs and the driver is uninsured, ridesharing companies have a duty to provide coverage and defend an insurance claim.
Regardless of whether the at-fault driver in your wreck had appropriate insurance, our attorneys can help protect your interests after an Uber or Lyft accident. We will hold the responsible party liable for the compensation you deserve.
Does This Mean I Can File a Claim Against the Driver as Well as the Ridesharing Company?
Whether you were a passenger in a ridesharing vehicle or an occupant of another vehicle, our claim must show that the Uber or Lyft driver’s negligence caused your accident. We must also prove that, as a result of the driver’s negligence, you suffered injuries or damages to your vehicle.
We may need to file a claim against Uber or Lyft depending on the circumstances surrounding the crash. We advise you to speak to one of our attorneys before filing an insurance claim. An accident that appears clear-cut can become complicated quickly.
How Can a Lawyer Help Me File My Claim?
Our attorneys can help you build a strong insurance claim by investigating your accident. Our firm gathers evidence to prove the Uber or Lyft driver that caused the crash failed to uphold their responsibility to avoid a collision while behind the wheel. We will gather the evidence we need to show this occurred during the course of our investigation. This proof may include:
- Medical records that detail your injuries;
- Police reports of the accident;
- Your report and other eyewitness reports of the accident;
- Photographs of the accident scene; and
- The driver’s past driving record.
We may also explore whether the ridesharing company issued previous warnings to the driver or if the driver was engaging in distracted driving at the time of the crash. Uber and Lyft use mobile apps and websites to connect passengers with drivers. Sometimes, drivers check their apps while driving to see if the company has other passengers needing a ride.
What Type of Compensation Can I Receive?
As the victim of an accident with a ridesharing service driver, you may recover compensation to pay for:
- Current and future medical expenses;
- Lost wages, if your injuries prevented you from working;
- Property damages;
- Funeral expenses, if a loved one died due to the accident; and
- Pain and suffering.
Our lawyers will serve as your representative in your insurance claim. We will negotiate a settlement with the insurance company and other parties involved in the accident. Insurance companies typically underpay or deny claims. Should this occur and we cannot reach an equitable settlement, we can discuss the possibility of filing a lawsuit.
I Am Ridesharing Driver Who Wants to File a Claim for an Accident I Did Not Cause. What Do I Do?
Tennessee is a fault state, which means the driver at fault for an accident is liable for injuries and property damages. You may file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. However, Uber and Lyft drivers involved in an accident—whether or not they caused it—must call the police to report the accident. Drivers must also contact their personal insurance companies, as well as Uber or Lyft to report the accident.
Let Our Law Firm Untangle the Web of Ridesharing Legal Issues.
At the Law Offices of Ogle, Elrod & Baril, PLLC, our attorneys will wade through the complexities of ridesharing insurance claims to recover just compensation for your injuries and property damage. Call 865-546-1111 now for a no-obligation case evaluation with our Uber and Lyft accident lawyers in Knoxville. | https://www.wreckintoacheck.com/knoxville-injury/uber-lyft-accident-lawyer/ | 1,299 |
Policyholders good, Insurers bad? Not so.Go Back
It was a real privilege to be asked by BILA and the Insurance Post to write a short thought piece which was published last week:
As a coverage lawyer who only acts for policyholders when they find themself with a business critical or personally vital coverage issue, I hear the tribal drums all too often: they took my premium and now they don’t want to pay my claim. Those perceptions are harmful and untrue. They cloud the special function that insurance plays in society as a private instrument for transferring risk and often overshadow the many success stories that the industry has to offer.
Often perceptions are created at the claims stage when notifications are declined or policies avoided (rightly or wrongly). These views are influenced by the time it takes insurers or their agents to make that decision, the manner of the investigation, and the conduct of any subsequent formal dispute. Policyholder advocates will sympathise with the experience of answering or resolving one pivotal coverage issue only to be met with two further and entirely new coverage issues which frustrates the process. Insurers will have their own frustrations.
By the time the coverage lawyer is involved, often the parties are already entrenched in their respective view of the claim and the other party. The parties and their advisers then search for the dispute resolution mechanism in their policy(ies) and the battle commences, be that via the Financial Ombudsman or via more formal legal routes such as Court proceedings or Arbitration. One party wins, and the other loses, albeit often the parties mediate (eventually). None of these processes usually do anything to mitigate the tribal nature of claims and often perceptions are simply reinforced, despite the regulatory backdrop of treating-customers-fairly. The process repeats itself. Eat-Sleep-Contest Claim-Repeat.
Pausing there, there is plenty more that all stakeholders, especially claims professionals and coverage lawyers from both sides of the fence, can do to identify the cause of these perceptions and to help bring about progress in wordings; in first notification processes; in the claims investigation; in methods of communicating; in the use of technology; in processes where the insured is interviewed for coverage purposes; in claims negotiating; and dispute resolution generally. It is not disloyal to either tribe to contribute to that discussion in an environment that seeks to foster mutual respect. As an organisation with its membership drawn from all stakeholders in the insurance process, BILA has a rich history of fostering that debate and influencing change since its inception in 1964.

People are usually skeptical when buying car insurance because there are too many technical jargons to understand. Even after going through them all, most end up buying the wrong coverage that doesn’t come to their rescue in times of crisis.
Instead of understanding them all, you can consider knowing the five basic and most important things before applying for a coverage.
Premium and Deductible
These are the very basics that matter the most. Obviously, the premium is the sum you pay to the car insurance company to offer you their services and coverage. The entire amount will be split into monthly or quarterly so that it is easy to pay it. Paying upfront will get you good discounts, but you may have to negotiate it with the company. The deductible is the sum that you have to pay to repair your vehicle in case of an accident. If you can’t pay higher deductibles when an incident occurs, it is better to increase the premium than face unexpected expenses when you are out of cash.
Limits on Liability
Not all car insurances are the same because every company will have different limits on liability. Most companies have the policy of paying 25-50-25 which denotes that they will pay $25k for an injured person, $50,000 for the damaged vehicle and the rest $25k is for damages that occur to a property. Based on the type of vehicle you use and expenses it may incur in case of an accident, you can choose to increase your premium to increase the company’s liability.
Type of Insurance you choose
There are different types of insurances that you can go for. Liability insurance and collision coverage is the most popular of them all. Liability is helpful if you are still learning the nuances of driving. In case of damage to another vehicle, property or person, the company will pay them on your behalf. The laws will vary from one state to another. Collision coverage is helpful where the company will pay to help you repair your vehicle in case of an accident. The other variants include comprehensive coverage and UMPD.
Personal Injury Protection
While there are multiple types of injury coverage offered by the car insurance company, personal injury protection matters a lot. PIP makes it easy to cover medical costs for the driver as well as the other passengers in the car. It even covers a pedestrian if they accidentally get involved in the collision and get hurt so that you don’t have to pay anything out of your pocket.
Depreciation is an important aspect that companies don’t elaborate, but something you should know in depth. If you have been using your car for a long time, you may not be able to make huge claims as its value depreciates over time. In such scenarios, ensure that you either reduce your premium or consider replacing your old car with a new one so as to make proper claims from the car insurance company. | https://www.yoursinglesourcefornews.com/5-important-things-to-take-note-of-when-buying-car-insurance/3228/ | 590 |
A roaring fireplace is a quintessential part of the cozy, homey atmosphere during the colder months. The importance of regular fireplace servicing cannot be overlooked! But, like any feature in your home, fireplaces require regular maintenance to ensure they remain both safe and efficient. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore why servicing your fireplace is essential, not only for your comfort but also for the safety and integrity of your home.
Understanding the Fireplace
Before we delve into the importance of servicing, let’s first understand the two primary types of fireplaces:
1. Wood-Burning Fireplaces
These fireplaces use logs or wood pellets as fuel. They create an authentic, crackling fire but require more maintenance.
2. Gas Fireplaces
Gas fireplaces are more convenient and easy to use. They provide warmth and ambiance with the flip of a switch, using natural gas or propane.
Why Is Regular Servicing Essential?
Here are some compelling reasons why you should prioritize regular fireplace servicing:
1. Safety First
Safety should always be the primary concern. Fireplaces can pose significant safety risks if not properly maintained. A few potential hazards include:
- Creosote Buildup: In wood-burning fireplaces, creosote, a highly flammable substance, accumulates in the chimney. Regular servicing removes this buildup to prevent chimney fires.
- Gas Leaks: Gas fireplaces can develop leaks, which are both dangerous and difficult to detect without professional inspection.
- Cracked Masonry: Cracks in the fireplace or chimney can allow heat and flames to reach combustible materials, risking house fires.
2. Energy Efficiency
A well-maintained fireplace operates more efficiently. Proper servicing ensures that the fireplace burns fuel effectively and evenly, providing maximum heat while minimizing waste.
3. Extended Lifespan
Regular servicing can extend the lifespan of your fireplace and chimney, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.
4. Cost Savings
Investing in regular servicing can save you money in the long run. It’s more cost-effective to address issues in their early stages rather than waiting for them to escalate into major problems.
5. Preventing Smoke and Carbon Monoxide
A malfunctioning fireplace can emit smoke and dangerous carbon monoxide gas into your home. Regular servicing ensures the chimney draws smoke properly and prevents these issues.
When and How Often to Service Your Fireplace
So, how often should you service your fireplace? The frequency of servicing depends on the type of fireplace:
- Wood-Burning Fireplaces: These should be serviced annually or after burning about one cord of wood. This servicing should include chimney cleaning and an inspection.
- Gas Fireplaces: Annual servicing is also recommended for gas fireplaces. An inspection should encompass the gas valve, thermocouple, pilot light, and any gas leaks.
DIY Maintenance Between Servicing
While professional servicing is crucial, you can perform some basic maintenance between visits:
- Regular Cleaning: Remove ashes, soot, and debris from the fireplace and flue.
- Check for Cracks: Inspect the fireplace and chimney for any visible cracks or damage.
- Gas Fireplace Inspection: If you have a gas fireplace, ensure that the pilot light is functioning correctly and that there are no strange odors.
Regular fireplace servicing is not just a matter of convenience; it’s a matter of safety, energy efficiency, and cost savings. Neglecting fireplace maintenance can lead to safety hazards, inefficiency, and even costly repairs.
So, as the colder months approach, make a point of scheduling a professional fireplace servicing. The importance of regular fireplace servicing cannot be overlooked! It’s an investment in the warmth and safety of your home. A well-maintained fireplace will provide you with a cozy atmosphere, free from safety concerns and financial worries.

There is a fine line between hedging your risk or gambling with the hedging instruments. Insurance is for us to hedge against our financial loss upon the occurrence of an event. It is not meant to be used so that we are financially better after the event and the subsequent insurance claim.
When an event strikes, if our financial loss is covered by insurance, this is called proper hedging of risk. However, if not only our loss is covered but we are financially better off from our insurance claims after the occurrence of an event, we are gambling.
If we buy insurance more than what we need, the premium that we pay for just cover our loss is for the purpose of hedging, the extra premium we pay in order to have extra insurance claims is for gambling.
If we buy an insurance plan when we will be financially better off after the strike of an event, the extra premium we pay is just like the money that gamblers pay to 4D, TOTO, Big Sweep, etc. There is no different.
In lottery, you pay the bookie your bet. When the event strikes (you strike lottery) you are financially better. In buying insurance, you pay extra premium (more than actually required to just cover loss) to the insurance company. When the event strikes (though unfavorable), you cover your financial loss (hedging) and have extra money (gambling).
We were usually told (by agents), "Isn't it better if you have extra money after these things happened". Yeah, sure. It is also how gamblers convince themselves, "Isn't it better if I have extra RM3 million if my Big Sweep ticket strike."
This is particularly true in the education fund insurance that you pay for your children future education. Education fund insurance covers child's life. STOP! Why cover child life? Your child has not earned income yet! What financial loss that you are hedging against in the event of your child's death? (Touch wood.) Funeral expenses? It can be minimised, therefore it is not really an issue. So, a family becomes financially better (from the child's life insurance claim) after the death of their child.
This is a unpleasant example, but it illustrates well on the gambling part of insurance. When we pay what we don't need, when we were convinced by insurance agents buying more than covering our actual FINANCIAL loss (not emotional loss, etc.), we are gambling with insurance. No wonder we always feel insurance is expensive. | https://insurance.financialplanningmalaysia.com/2006/04/ | 509 |
Navigating the insurance agency landscape can often feel like finding your way through a complex maze. With seemingly countless options and policies to consider, it can be overwhelming for both individuals and businesses to find the right coverage for their specific needs. If you own a nightclub or a bar, your insurance requirements may be even more unique, calling for specialized coverage such as nightclub insurance or bar insurance.
Choosing the right insurance agency is crucial, as they will play a vital role in helping you understand your options and tailor a policy that fits your specific needs. An experienced insurance agency will have the knowledge and expertise to guide you through the process, ensuring that you have the right coverage to protect you and your assets.
Nightclubs and bars face a unique set of risks and challenges that need to be addressed by appropriate insurance coverage. From potential incidents involving intoxicated patrons to property damage caused by rowdy crowds, the right insurance policy can provide the necessary safety net to mitigate these risks.
Whether you’re looking for liability coverage to safeguard against claims arising from alcohol-related incidents or property insurance to protect against unforeseen damage, a reputable insurance agency will take the time to understand the nuances of your establishment and work with you to design a comprehensive policy that meets your needs.
In the rest of this article, we will explore key considerations when selecting an insurance agency for your nightclub or bar, along with the specific types of coverage you should prioritize. Understanding the insurance agency landscape and the options available to you will empower you to make informed decisions and have peace of mind knowing that you are properly protected. So let’s dive in and demystify the insurance agency maze for you.
Understanding Insurance Agency Terminology
To navigate the world of insurance agencies effectively, it is crucial to have a good understanding of the terminology used in the industry. Whether you are looking for nightclub insurance or bar insurance, here are some key terms you should be familiar with:
Insurance Agent: An insurance agent is a professional who represents an insurance company and acts as a liaison between the insurance company and the insured party. They help individuals and businesses choose suitable insurance policies and provide guidance throughout the claims process.
Insurance Broker: Similar to an insurance agent, an insurance broker also works as an intermediary between the insured party and the insurance company. However, unlike an agent who represents a specific insurance company, a broker works independently and is able to offer policies from multiple insurance companies. This allows brokers to provide clients with a range of options tailored to their specific needs.
Policy: A policy is a contract between the insured party and the insurance company. It outlines the terms and conditions of the insurance coverage, including the limits, deductibles, and exclusions. When purchasing nightclub insurance or bar insurance, it is important to carefully review the policy to ensure it adequately covers the specific risks associated with your establishment.
Understanding these fundamental terms will help you better communicate with insurance professionals and make informed decisions when selecting the right insurance agency for your nightclub or bar. Remember, having the appropriate insurance coverage is vital to protect your business from potential risks and liabilities.
Why Nightclubs and Bars Need Specialized Insurance
Nightclubs and bars are vibrant and lively places where people come to unwind and have a great time. However, due to the nature of their operations, they also face unique risks and challenges that necessitate specialized insurance coverage.
One key aspect that sets nightclubs and bars apart is the presence of alcohol. Serving alcohol not only adds to the fun atmosphere but also introduces a range of liability risks. Intoxicated customers can become unruly or get involved in accidents, resulting in potential property damage or injury claims. Having specialized insurance can help protect nightclub and bar owners from these liabilities, ensuring they have the necessary coverage in place.
Nightclubs and bars also often feature live entertainment, such as live bands or DJs, which adds another layer of risk. In crowded and energetic environments, accidents can happen, such as slips and falls or injuries during performances. Specialized insurance coverage can address these unique risks, providing financial protection for both the establishment and its patrons.
Furthermore, nightclubs and bars may have extended operating hours, staying open late into the night or even being open 24/7. This extended timeframe increases the chances of incidents occurring. Having insurance tailored to the specific needs of these establishments takes into account the potential risks associated with late-night operations, providing peace of mind for owners and operators.
In conclusion, because of the nature of their operations and the unique risks they face, nightclubs and bars require specialized insurance coverage. This type of insurance enables owners to protect their establishment, staff, and patrons from the potential liabilities and uncertainties that come with running these entertainment venues.
Choosing the Right Insurance Agency for Your Needs
When it comes to finding the right insurance agency to meet your needs, there are a few key factors to consider. First and foremost, it’s crucial to assess whether the agency specializes in the type of insurance coverage you require. For example, if you own a nightclub or a bar and need specific coverage like nightclub insurance or bar insurance, it’s essential to find an agency that understands the unique risks and challenges of your industry.
Another important aspect to consider is the agency’s reputation and track record. Look for an insurance agency that has a solid history of providing excellent service and support to their clients. Reading online reviews and seeking recommendations from other business owners in similar fields can be helpful in gauging the agency’s reliability and customer satisfaction.
Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the insurance agency you choose is responsive and attentive to your needs. A reliable agency should be readily available to answer your questions, provide guidance, and address any concerns you may have. Open and clear communication is crucial to ensuring that your policies are tailored to your specific requirements and that you have the support you need when it matters most.
By carefully considering these factors and doing thorough research, you can confidently choose the right insurance agency that aligns with your needs and offers the coverage necessary to protect your business effectively. Don’t rush the decision-making process, as investing time in finding the right agency will ultimately give you peace of mind in the face of potential risks and uncertainties. | https://ionthetarget.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-navigating-the-insurance-agency-maze/ | 1,271 |
Ok, let's break it down: PL = Public Liability; PD = Property Damage.
Payments that result from the use of these coverages are generally for the health and repair of vehicles for the party you have had an accident with. Passengers in the vehicle with you if injured can in some cases claim against the PL portion for there injurys. But for the drivers injuries, there will be no pay out what so ever. Unless medical or um is on the policy. Or you were the one that was hit by someone else.
The insurers of the driver who was deemed to be at fault for the accident.
In many states, "no-fault" coverage means that YOUR OWN policy pays the medical bills, loss of income, and related services for injuries sustained in an automobile accident. This means that, regardless of who was at fault, YOUR OWN policy pays for your injuries. If one of the parties decides to litigate because of injuries, those damages would be covered under the Bodily Injury Liability portion of the policy.
Car insurance wont cover health insurance. Car insurance will cover any medical bills related to an automobile accident you are involved in though. If you were in an automobile accident, contact your auto insurance company right away.
Yes - and not only can you, you should! Workers' Comp covers you for lifetime medical for work-related injuries. Even if you have health insurance, health insurance typically won't respond to work-related injuries AND if you're injured to a point that you can't continue to work for a long period of time or can't work as much, who will pay those medical premium bills?
That is a key thing WC does - pays med bills for work related injuries.
Different states and policies can have different benefits and coverages. Health insurance will cover medical costs related to an auto accident but in most states they are secondary to automobile insurance. This means that the auto insurance will be responsible for payment first and health insurance will pay after that. If the health insurance company goes ahead and pays the claim or at least the first few bills then you receive payment of file for payments on the auto insurance you will be responsible for reimbursement to the health insurer.
Yes. If the person has private insurance and is covered the bills go to the health care company to be paid.
Whoever the victim is, their auto insurance will cover medical bills. This happened to me... As long as there was no auto accident and no damage to the vehicle, your auto insurance will pay for your injuries. If there is an auto accident that causes you to fall out of the moving vehicle, I am not sure how that would work...
You need car insurance to protect yourself in the case of an accident. Insurance will pay for the medical bills related to your recovery and will also protect you from being sued if you are at fault for the accident.
PIP is personal injury protection. It will help you with medical bills and lost wages in the event of an accident, even if it's not automotive related.
It is really different from case to case and there is no set value. It depends on the severity of injuries. However, some people have had from 2 to 4 times the amount of their medical bills.
If you have a health insurance policy (Medical Insurance) it will pick up where your auto coverage left off. | https://qa.answers.com/Q/Does_PLPD_cover_health_bills_for_injuries_related_to_an_auto_accident | 683 |
Lending industry has become more and more competitive in the recent years. The lenders are trying to take hold of the industry by lowering the interest rates to attract more and more customers. One of such ways they come up with is to provide several other products which accompany the loan. Payment protection insurance is one such product which accompanies your loan.
Payment protection insurance, also known as Credit Insurance, is a good idea if you are taking out a large loan. Payment protection insurance helps the insured to payoff the insured balance of his/her loan in case any exigencies such as lose of job, long leave due to medical emergency or the death of the insured during the term of the loan.
Payment protection insurance helps the borrowers to avoid getting into debt by maintaining their repayments in case of any emergencies such as sickness, accident or unemployment. Payment Protection Insurance schemes are offered to protect the borrower from most types of personal credit such as personal loans, mortgages, and credit card repayments. Generally, insurance cover is purchased only at the time the finance agreement is made. Payment protection insurance is available for anyone aged between 18 and 65. The policy is generally offered to those who are employed for about 16 hours a week or on a long term contract or have been self-employed for a definite amount of time.
All payment protection insurance policies will have a period at the start of each claim which you have to wait before payments starts. Once a claim has been established, benefit payment periods will change buy generally claims are offered for about one year (in most cases), but some may last as long as two years.
Before you decide to take payment protection insurance you need to be well aware of the true costs and benefits of payment protection insurance. The cost of the insurance is one of the main factors to be checked before selecting payment protection insurance or any other insurance. It is often seen that payment protection insurance can cost as much as the loan interest repayments. That is the payment protection repayments when calculated can effectively double the cost of the loan. Therefore it is highly recommended to check how much will be your insurance repayment charges when you opt for a payment protection insurance scheme.
According to some people taking payment protection insurance is a good idea as they think that the insurance scheme offers peace of mind when lives and jobs become more and more unstable. But financial experts say that this is not true in all cases. Every insurance policy and its payment vary, so you should be very careful on the monthly payment of the insurance policy you take. Check whether there is any exception or exclusion available for the policy you selected.
Nowadays, most of the lenders offer payment protection insurance whenever a borrower applies for a loan. But it may not be the best payment protection insurance policy available in the financial market. Hence it is highly recommended to shop around before you stick on a particular deal. With a little research you will surely get a payment protection insurance which best suits your needs. | https://tikaka.com/payment-protection-insurance/ | 594 |
If you’ve recently been in a car accident, you may be wondering if your car insurance premium will go up in California due to the incident. Many people assume that if the accident is not their fault, then their rates will not increase.
However, this is not always the case. In this post, we’ll explore the realities of how car insurance works in California and whether or not a rate increase is likely even when an accident isn’t your fault. We’ll also discuss ways that you can protect yourself from higher premiums after an accident and help ensure that your rates stay where they are today.
How car insurance is calculated in California
There are a number of factors that play into how car insurance rates are calculated in California. The first is the type of coverage you have. There are four main types of coverage: bodily injury liability, property damage liability, collision, and comprehensive.
Bodily injury liability covers medical expenses and lost wages for the other driver and passengers in the event that you are found at fault for an accident. Property damage liability covers the repairs or replacement of the other driver’s vehicle in the event that you are found at fault for an accident. Collision coverage pays for damages to your own vehicle in the event of an accident, regardless of who is at fault. Comprehensive coverage pays for damages to your own vehicle from events beyond your control, such as theft, vandalism, or weather damage.
The second factor that plays into car insurance rates is your driving history. If you have a clean driving record, you will pay less than someone who has been involved in accidents or has received traffic tickets. Your credit history is also a factor, as people with good credit are considered to be lower-risk drivers than those with poor credit.
The third factor is the type of car you drive. Cars with more safety features tend to be cheaper to insure than older or less safe vehicles. The fourth factor is where you live. People who live in urban areas tend to pay more for car insurance than those who live in rural areas because there is more traffic and therefore more potential for accidents.
At-fault and not-at-fault accidents
One of the most common questions we get here at California Insurance Solutions is whether or not your car insurance rates will go up if an accident is not your fault. Unfortunately, the answer is not a simple one. While it may seem like your rates shouldn’t go up if you weren’t at fault, there are a number of factors that can affect your rates after an accident, even if it wasn’t your fault.
The first thing to keep in mind is that accidents, regardless of who is at fault, will always have an impact on your car insurance rates. This is because insurers see accidents as a sign of risk, and they will always adjust your rates accordingly. Even if you weren’t at fault, insurers may still view you as being at risk of getting into another accident and will raise your rates accordingly.
Another factor to consider is which state you live in. In some states, insurers are allowed to raise rates for drivers who have been in an accident, even if it wasn’t their fault. This practice is known as “non-driving rating factors” and it can have a significant impact on your car insurance rates. If you live in a state where this practice is allowed, it’s likely that your rates will go up after an accident, even if it wasn’t your fault.
Your premium after an accident
Your premium may not necessarily increase after an accident if it’s not your fault. In fact, depending on the details of your policy, your rates could go down. For example, if you have roadside assistance included in your policy and you use it after an accident, your insurance company may view you as less of a risk and lower your rates.
How to get the best rates
There are a few things you can do to make sure you’re getting the best rates on your car insurance in California. First, be sure to shop around and compare rates from different companies. It’s also a good idea to review your coverages and make sure you’re not overpaying for coverage you don’t need.
Finally, remember that your driving record will impact your rates, so try to avoid accidents and traffic violations. If you do end up paying more for your insurance because of an accident or violation, shop around again after a few years to see if you can get a better rate.
Knowing the answer to this question is important for California drivers. Our research has shown that in most cases, your car insurance rates will not go up if an accident was not your fault. However, it’s still wise to check with your insurer and review the terms of your policy just to make sure that you are properly covered. Keeping these tips in mind can help you avoid any unpleasant surprises when it comes time for renewal or filing a claim after an accident. | https://vtalkinsurance.com/will-my-car-insurance-go-up-in-california-if-its-not-my-fault/ | 1,031 |

IRFU Compulsory Group Personal Accident Insurance Scheme
– Cover Provided by Scheme
The Compulsory Group Personal Accident Scheme for Clubs is arranged by the lrish Rugby Football Union to provide fixed benefits for death or serious injury following accidents incurred whilst playing or officially training for rugby.
The Scheme is funded by an lnsurance Policy, arranged on behalf of the lrish Rugby Football Union by their lnsurance Brokers, Aon.
The Policy is issued by Aviva lnsurance Limited,
The premium charged by lnsurers responds directly to the amount of claims. This premium is partly subsidised and is then charged by the lrish Rugby Football Union to the Clubs on the basis of the numbers of teams.
There is no legal obligation on the lrish Rugby Football Union to provide insurance cover. Risk is an inherent factor in sport,as in life. When players voluntarily take part in games, they accept the risks that such participation may bring.
The Compulsory lnsurance Scheme does not seek to compensate fully for injury. lts purpose is to provide a minimum level of cover and ultimate responsibility lies with the individual player to ensure he/she is fully covered in accordance with his/her specific needs. Additional voluntary Top-Up cover is available directly from the lrish Rugby Football Union’s lnsurance Brokers, Aon.
The Executive Committee recommends that players attain their own personal health insurance coverage.

Cyber may outstrip natural catastrophes in losses, according to panel at WEF Global Risks Report 2018 launch
According to estimates, the aggregate cost of cyber-attacks could dwarf the losses seen in 2017 for natural catastrophes – the biggest nat cat loss year on record.
Speaking at the launch of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Conference 2018, Marsh president of global risk and digital John Drzik compared the scale of cyber risk to known catastrophes; he outlined: “To compare the degrees of economic loss, there are estimates now that if a hacker took down a major cloud provider, the damages could be $50bn - $120bn, so something in the range of Sandy event to a Katrina event. The aggregate cost of cyber is now estimated by a number of sources at more than $1tn per year or economic loss - verses roughly $300bn experienced in 2017 from losses to natural catastrophes.”
Drzik urged both the private sector and governments to focus on mitigating the risk, saying: “Both business and government need to think about increasing investment in cyber risk management - being as this risk has become more visible. I think we are still under-resourced in the amount of effort being put into trying to mitigate this risk.”
In this year’s Global Risks Report, which was launched at the event, cyber featured prominently as a risk on the forefront of minds for those surveyed. As well as being the number one risk across the business leadership that responded to the executive service across advanced economies, cyber was also noted as the risk most likely to intensify and worsen in 2018 in the overall global risk perception survey.
”cyber is at or above the scale of natural catastrophes, yet the comparative infrastructure against it is much smaller in scale.” John Drzik
As well as cyber, geopolitical risk, climate change and public-private cooperation were touch one by the other panellists – WEF head of economic progress Margareta Drzeniek Hanouz, Zurich Insurance Group group chief risk officer Alison Martin, and WEF member of the managing board Richard Samans – but Drzik highlighted that many of these areas were heavily impacted by cyber.
He said: “Cyber risk is an area where some of the threads in the global risk environment come together.”
In 2017, there were a number of high-profile attacks, including the likes of WannaCry, and there was also a shift in geopolitical trends which could lead to more state-sponsored attacks alongside the financially motivated ones.
“With this increasing suite of attackers, you have cyber risk growing, and in turn the cyber exposure is growing within companies,” Drzik said.
Along with motivation, the ability to attack is also increasing, Drzik explained: “I think about the proliferation of interconnected devices. There’s currently today 8.4 billion of those out there, so already greater than the global population of 7.6 billion, and projected to grow to 20 billion in 2020. So that just widens the attack surface for companies to potential attacks. Use of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies is also leading to greater cyber exposure for companies.”
Given the interconnected nature of cyber and its potential aggregate losses, Drzik stressed that he believed risk mitigation in this area was heavily under-resourced.
He said: “When you think about the comparative scale [of losses], cyber is at or above the scale of natural catastrophes, yet the comparative infrastructure against it is much smaller in scale. I think about the government agencies, as well as voluntary organisations, that focus on response to natural disasters, versus national cyber agencies – the cyber agencies are much less resourced. They have some capacity, but not enough to deal with what is a significantly growing risk.”
He added: “International protocols have yet to really emerge in dealing with cyber risk, and those are going to be needed as well.” | https://www.globalreinsurance.com/analysis/global-risks-report-2018-cyber-risk-growing-faster-than-mitigation-efforts-says-john-drzik/1426075.article | 821 |

There are both good and bad ways to find auto insurance online so we’re going to tell you the absolute fastest way to quote coverages for a new or used Bentley and find the cheapest rates either online or from local insurance agents.
Smart consumers take time to compare rates quite often due to the fact that insurance rates fluctuate regularly. Even if you think you had the best rates on Continental GT coverage a couple years back there may be better deals available now. Don’t believe everything you read about auto insurance online, so I’m going to show you a bunch of ideas how to find affordable auto insurance.
The purpose of this post is to help you learn how car insurance quotes work and some money-saving tips. If you have car insurance now, you will most likely be able to reduce your rates substantially using these methods. Drivers just need to know the most efficient way to shop their coverage around online.
Discounts for Bentley Car Insurance Costs
Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but you can get discounts to help bring down the price. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically when you get a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be asked for prior to receiving the credit. If they aren’t giving you every credit possible, you are paying more than you should be.
- Accident Free – Drivers who don’t have accidents can earn big discounts when compared to bad drivers.
- Seat Belt Usage – Requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could cut 10% or more on the medical payments or PIP coverage costs.
- Low Mileage Discounts – Driving fewer miles can qualify you for better rates on cars that stay parked.
- Drivers Ed for Students – Cut your cost by having your teen driver take driver’s ed class in school.
- Federal Government Employee – Active or retired federal employment can save as much as 8% on Continental GT coverage with certain companies.
- Military Rewards – Being deployed with a military unit could be rewarded with lower premiums.
- E-sign – Certain companies give back up to $50 for buying a policy and signing up digitally online.
A little note about advertised discounts, most discount credits are not given to the entire cost. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. Just because you may think adding up those discounts means a free policy, you’re out of luck. Any qualifying discounts will help reduce the cost of coverage.
Bentley Continental GT Insurance Coverages
An important part of buying insurance is that you know the factors that play a part in calculating your car insurance rates. When you know what positively or negatively impacts premium levels empowers consumers to make smart changes that may reward you with lower car insurance prices.
Shown below are a few of the “ingredients” used by your company to calculate rates.
- Careful drivers pay lower rates – A bad driving record has a big impact on rates. Even one moving violation can bump up the cost forty percent or more. Drivers who don’t get tickets get better rates than people who have multiple driving citations. If you have severe violations like DUI or reckless driving may find they need to submit a SR-22 or proof of financial responsibility with their state DMV in order to drive a vehicle legally.
- Never allow your policy to lapse – Driving without insurance is a misdemeanor and your next policy will cost more because you let your insurance expire. Not only will you pay more, but not being able to provide proof of insurance might get you a license revocation or jail time.You may need to provide proof of insurance in the form of an SR-22 filing with your state motor vehicle department.
- Extra add-on coverages are wasting money – There are a ton of additional coverages that you can get tricked into buying if you aren’t careful. Coverages for rental car reimbursement, accidental death and additional equipment coverage are examples of these. They may seem like a good idea initially, but now you might not need them so eliminate them to save money.
- Being married can save on car insurance – Having a spouse actually saves money on your policy. Having a spouse translates into being more responsible and it’s statistically proven that married drivers get in fewer accidents.
- Your car insurance rates can be influenced by your job – Did you know that where you work can have an impact on rates? Occupations like lawyers, social workers, and dentists have the highest average rates attributed to high stress and lots of time spent at work. Other jobs such as pilots, historians, and performers get better rates on Continental GT coverage.
- Pleasure use saves money – Driving more miles every year the more you’ll pay to insure your vehicle. The majority of insurers charge to insure your cars based on their usage. Vehicles that are left in the garage get more affordable rates compared to those used for work or business. Verify your car insurance coverage is showing the proper vehicle usage. Incorrect usage on your Continental GT can result in significantly higher rates.
Everyone Needs Different Coverages
When choosing coverage, there isn’t really a perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s needs are different.
For instance, these questions may help you determine if you might need an agent’s assistance.
- Should I buy additional glass protection?
- Does insurance cover damages from a DUI accident?
- How many claims can I have before being canceled?
- What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
- What can I do if my company denied a claim?
- Am I better off with higher deductibles on my 2007 Bentley Continental GT?
- Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and can provide invaluable advice.
Auto Insurance 101
Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Comprehensive insurance – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as theft, falling objects, and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Bentley Continental GT.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Collision – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Continental GT resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision insurance covers claims like hitting a parking meter, rolling your car and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower-value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
Liability car insurance – This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 50/100/50 which means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged property. Another option is a combined limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage protects against things like funeral expenses, loss of income, attorney fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and pain and suffering. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses for hospital visits, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices, dental work, and surgery. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comparing Bentley Car Insurance Quotes
Cheaper 2007 Bentley Continental GT insurance can be bought online and also from your neighborhood agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance providers may not provide online quoting and many times these small, regional companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
People switch companies for a variety of reasons including extreme rates for teen drivers, high rates after DUI convictions, policy non-renewal and being labeled a high-risk driver. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, switching car insurance companies is less work than it seems.
When you buy insurance online, make sure you don’t buy less coverage just to save a little money. There are many occasions where consumers will sacrifice full coverage and learned later that they should have had better coverage. Your aim should be to buy the best coverage you can find at a price you can afford.

Getting ready for college is an exciting time in life. Not only is it a big life change, but there are a lot of decisions to make, including how to continue your health insurance. Some schools may offer college student health insurance, but you also have other options.
You can use this independent agent matching tool to find the best insurance solution in your area. Provide some details about what you're looking for, and the tool will recommend the best agents for you. Any information you provide will be sent only to the agent you pick.
Student Health Insurance Facts
- More than 1 million students have student health insurance coverage.
- 20% of college students have no health insurance.
- More than half of all colleges and universities offer health insurance for college students.
- Health insurance for students now includes prescription plans, higher coverage levels, and free preventive care.
Do College Students Need Health Insurance?
The simple answer is yes, college students need health insurance. Students who are uninsured face tax penalties, but that's not the only reason you should have coverage.
Even very young, healthy people need to be able to get treatment at a reasonable cost in the event of an accident, sports injury, or bout of the flu or mononucleosis.
The average family pays in the neighborhood of $3,000 per year in healthcare costs with a good health plan in place. Without coverage, one serious illness or injury can leave a student facing bills of $10,000 or more.
Unexpected medical bills can add more debt to student loans. The only thing those with a student health insurance plan need to worry about after an illness is making up missed homework.
Is Health Insurance Required for College Students?
Federal law, through the Affordable Care Act, mandates that all adults have health insurance coverage, and this includes health insurance for college students. While there are no criminal charges attached to failing to be insured, there are tax consequences.
Furthermore, some states have made it mandatory for students to have health insurance before entering college, and individual colleges and universities may require medical insurance for students as a matter of policy.
Finding Health Insurance for College Students
For most students and their families, finding student health insurance is not difficult. You just need to sort through your options. Comparison shopping and working with insurance professionals will help make this process go more quickly. Just make sure you're working with an agent who can find the coverage you want.
Independent agents can be particularly effective when you're comparison shopping, because they are free to shop around and review policies offered by a variety of companies that offer health insurance for college students. They can help you review your options so you find competitively priced coverage that's right for you.
College student insurance coverage can be obtained through any of these channels:
Parents' health insurance plan
Most students simply remain on their parents' health insurance plan. The ACA requires insurance companies to allow children to stay on their parents’ health insurance until the age of 26. For many college students, this is a great way to maintain coverage and still get an education, but you need to make sure that the coverage your parents have fits your needs.
Students who travel out of state for college could face higher co-pays and deductibles, as well as a limited availability of in-network care providers.
Check with your parents' insurance company to see if there are any limitations on their medical insurance for a student. As long as you're covered appropriately by their health insurance, this is probably the best option.
College health insurance plan
If staying on your parents’ plan is not an option, be aware that the majority of colleges and universities offer health insurance for their students.
This is an affordable option, but premiums vary by state and school. Yearly premiums can cost anywhere from $30 to $2,400, but if you have the option of choosing between your parents' plan and a college plan, be sure to compare coverage as well as costs.
Currently, the ACA requires that all colleges have a coverage limit of at least $200,000. These plans also also cover preventive care and offer a prescription drug benefit. Good college plans also offer mental health coverage.
It's a good idea to sit down and compare a your family's health plan with the college student health insurance offered by the school. You may save money and have better coverage with the school plan, which is designed for the student and the location.
Individual health insurance plan
If you aren’t eligible for parental coverage and your school doesn’t offer health insurance, it’s still possible to find a student health insurance plan through a national provider. Buying individual insurance can be a tricky process and you have to weigh benefits and cost.
If you are considering a private insurer to get health insurance for college students, it’s best to work with an independent agent. These agents can help you gain more control over your insurance choices by exploring your options through you state's healthcare exchange and by leveraging all available subsidies and discounts.
Be aware, however, that if you are purchasing coverage through the healthcare exchange and you are still considered a dependent by someone else, you won't be eligible for subsidies based on your income.
Options for Non-Traditional Students
Not everyone who goes to school is 18 and a bright-eyed freshman, but health insurance is still important. Regardless of your student profile, many of the options described above still apply. You can also typically find coverage just for you.
- Graduate students: If you are 26 or older and in graduate school, you are not eligible to remain on your parents' health insurance. However, your university may provide graduate student health insurance that is comparable to a traditional plan. You can also search for individual plans through the healthcare exchange or work with certain providers that specialize in graduate student health insurance. An independent insurance agent can help you find the best plan to meet your needs.
- International students: If you are an international student, you can check to see if the college you’re attending offers health insurance for international students, which would be specifically designed for your particular situation. If you can find a different plan that offers comparable coverage, you should have the option to waive the college’s plan. Compare them to make sure that your needs are covered and that you can afford the premiums, as well as the co-pay amounts and deductible.
- Students traveling abroad: If you’re traveling abroad as a student, you need to make sure that you still have health insurance. Traditional plans may not provide coverage if you venture out of a certain region, so finding student travel health insurance may be your only option. If your school is sponsoring a trip, health insurance may be included in the cost, but other individual providers can create a package tailored to your journey. When you plan to travel abroad, consider that you might need emergency medical evacuation coverage and other critical services. Be sure to evaluate emergency services and look for a 24/7 help line when searching for the appropriate health insurance.
Finding Affordable Health Insurance for College Students
Pursuing an education is an excellent decision, but it’s important that you don't overlook having quality health insurance on the way to getting that diploma.
Before you hit the books, make sure that you’re properly insured. Whether you’re a traditional or non-traditional student, there are several options available. You just need to find the right plan for you.
You can find insurance easily when you have the right resources. Independent insurance agents can help you search for coverage that fits your needs and budget.
These agents can explain your various options to you and can help you compare a variety of health insurance plan for college students. They may even be able to help you save money on other insurance policies you carry, such as car or renters insurance.

The Ultimate Guide to Average Car Insurance for 23 Year Olds
Why Does Age Matter?
At 23, your car insurance rates are influenced significantly by your age. Insurance providers often consider younger drivers, like yourself, as higher risk due to limited driving experience.
As a result, premiums may be higher compared to older drivers. Let’s explore the reasons behind this age-based pricing and how you can manage it.
Factors That Affect Your Premiums
Your age is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to car insurance rates. Insurers take into account several factors that can impact your premiums.
From your driving record and location to your credit score and the type of coverage you choose, understanding these factors empowers you to take control of your insurance costs.
Types of Car Insurance for 23-Year-Olds
Understanding the various types of car insurance is essential for making the right choices. As a 23-year-old, you have several options to consider:
1. Liability Insurance: This is the most basic form of car insurance and is typically required by law. It covers damage and injuries you may cause to others in an accident. There are two main components:
- Bodily Injury Liability: This covers medical expenses and legal fees if you injure someone in an accident.
- Property Damage Liability: Pays for damages to someone else’s property, such as their car or a building.
2. Collision Coverage: This type of insurance covers damage to your vehicle caused by colliding with another car or object, regardless of fault. It’s especially useful if you have a new or valuable car.
3. Comprehensive Coverage: Comprehensive insurance protects your car from damage not related to collisions. It covers theft, vandalism, natural disasters, and hitting an animal, among other things.
4. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: If you’re involved in an accident with a driver who doesn’t have insurance or lacks sufficient coverage, this insurance helps cover your medical expenses and vehicle repairs.
5. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or Medical Payments Coverage: These cover medical expenses for you and your passengers in the event of an accident, regardless of fault. PIP also covers lost wages and other related costs.
6. Gap Insurance: If you’re financing or leasing your car, gap insurance is crucial. It covers the difference between the car’s actual cash value and what you owe on your loan or lease if your car is totaled or stolen.
7. Usage-Based Insurance: Some insurers offer usage-based insurance programs that track your driving habits using telematics devices or smartphone apps. Safer driving habits can lead to lower premiums.
8. Classic Car Insurance: If you own a classic or vintage car, you might consider specialized classic car insurance. It’s designed to protect the unique needs of these vehicles.
9. Rental Reimbursement: This optional coverage helps pay for a rental car while yours is being repaired after an accident.
10. Towing and Labor Coverage: This coverage reimburses you for emergency roadside assistance, such as towing, flat tire repair, or battery jump-starts.
Before selecting a specific type of coverage, assess your needs, budget, and the value of your car. It’s crucial to strike a balance between adequate coverage and affordability.
Many 23-year-olds opt for liability insurance as a starting point, but your individual circumstances may warrant additional coverage for peace of mind on the road.

Tips to Save on Car Insurance
Car insurance costs can be a significant expense, especially for 23-year-olds. Here are some practical steps to help you reduce your insurance expenses without sacrificing coverage:
1. Shop Around: Don’t settle for the first insurance quote you receive. Different insurance companies offer varying rates, so it pays to compare prices.
Use online comparison tools to easily get multiple quotes and find the best deal.
2. Bundle Policies: Consider bundling your car insurance with other policies, such as renters or homeowners insurance, from the same provider.
Bundling often results in significant discounts on all your policies.
3. Increase Deductibles: Your deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in.
Choosing a higher deductible can lower your monthly premiums. Just be sure you have the means to cover the deductible if you need to make a claim.
4. Maintain a Clean Driving Record: Safe driving pays off. Avoid accidents and traffic violations, as a clean driving record can lead to lower insurance rates.
Some insurers also offer discounts for safe driving habits, so inquire about potential programs.
5. Take Defensive Driving Courses: Completing a defensive driving course not only enhances your skills but can also earn you a discount on your car insurance.
Check with your insurer to see if they offer such incentives.
6. Opt for a Safe, Practical Car: The type of car you drive plays a significant role in your insurance rates. Choose a vehicle with a high safety rating and a lower risk of theft.
Sports cars and luxury vehicles typically have higher insurance costs.
7. Maintain Good Credit: Surprisingly, your credit score can affect your insurance premiums. Insurance companies may use your credit score as a factor in determining your rates.
Maintaining good credit can help you qualify for lower premiums.
8. Ask About Discounts: Insurance providers often offer various discounts.
These can include good student discounts, multi-policy discounts, loyalty discounts for staying with the same insurer, and discounts for safety features in your car.
9. Pay Your Premium Annually: If you can afford it, consider paying your insurance premium annually instead of monthly. Many insurers offer a discount for annual payments.
10. Review and Adjust Your Coverage: As your circumstances change, so do your insurance needs. Periodically review your coverage and adjust it accordingly.
If your car’s value has depreciated significantly, you may not need as much coverage as before.
By implementing these practical steps, you can effectively reduce your car insurance expenses while maintaining the protection you need on the road.
Remember that every individual’s situation is unique, so it’s essential to tailor your insurance coverage to your specific needs and budget.

The recent announcement that Government has reconsidered its original decision to change the calculations for long-term injury payments (March 2017) will halt further price increases for motor insurance and may result in reductions over the course of the next few months. Government had originally announced that it was reviewing the “Ogden” rate, a discount applied to compensation payments in order to counter-act potential increases in awards as a result of investment, meaning a dramatic increase in compensation payments that insurers would have to pay as a result of long-term, life affecting personal injuries.
Although the reversal has yet to be passed in parliament, the news has been greeted with relief by insurance companies who were increasing insurance premiums to compensation for a potential increase in costs. There is no doubt that pressure applied by insurers on government and the bad publicity generated by potential insurance premium increases has had the required effect, all be it at the expense of some injury awards. Clearly government feel that the needs of the masses out-weigh the needs of the few.
It is fair to say that the government’s original calculations to increase awards was based on a flawed equation, basing investments on low yield government bonds rather than a more lucrative solution that could be obtained elsewhere.

What Is Disability Insurance and How Can You Claim It?

How to Choose Critical Illness and Disability Insurance
Typical critical illness insurance refers to policies where the insurer pays the policyholder a pre-determined lump sum cash payment if the policyholder is diagnosed with any of the critical illnesses listed in their policy. These include conditions that carry high medical costs such as cancer, cardiovascular problems, and conditions requiring organ transplants. You can also choose direct payments to your health care providers to cover your medical bills, with a set maximum amount allowed per episode of treatment.
While critical illness insurance covers medical expenses, disability insurance helps you cover other expenses while you cannot work because of illness or injury. What if you don’t qualify for the Canada Disability Savings Grant or Bond programs, or perhaps you want a supplement? Ken Maynard Insurance Brokers Ltd. can help you choose the right disability insurance at our Vaughan and Woodbridge insurance office to cover your financial needs.
Covering Your Needs with Disability Insurance
Since our insurance brokers work with a variety of companies, we can find a plan that is designed to fit your situation when you need to replace your income after a debilitating accident or catastrophic illness. If you purchase your own disability insurance, you may keep the coverage if you change jobs. Just consult with your insurance broker to ensure that your particular policy covers risks in your new work environment. Also, unlike with employer-provided disability insurance, you have more plan options in buying your own. We encourage you to come in and let us build your personalized coverage, including:
Comprehensive disability insurance
Monthly indemnity with no required medical exam
Disability insurance for high-risk occupations
Disability insurance with long-term care coverage
Disability insurance with mortgage plans
Your Medical Conditions and Disability Insurance
Since the average worker has a 30% chance of being disabled in their lifetime, insurance to cover unexpected medical expenses and a sudden loss of income is vitally important. Short-term disability insurance will cover such events such as the birth of a child, a temporary disabling injury, or a lengthy illness. It is also wise to have long-term disability insurance that cover extended or permanent conditions, including:
Mental illness, neurological conditions or traumatic brain injuries
Heart conditions, heart attacks or coronary-artery diseases
Muscle, bone, joint or spine injuries and conditions
Immune and connective tissue disorders – rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis

Behind every successful business, are the people that drive its operations and vision. In a world of uncertainties, it’s critical to ensure continuity and stability in your business. As trusted insurance advisers, NZ Insurances is here to help you navigate and connect with the right business insurance solutions tailored to your needs.
Here’s an introduction to the three main types of business insurance we help people with.
Key person insurance: Safeguarding your business operations
A business's success often hinges on its key people. Losing an important person due to illness, disability, or death can make operations difficult, or even impossible.
We understand your risks. As experienced insurance advisers, NZ Insurances will connect you with key person insurance providers that offer lump-sum payments to cover the costs of recruiting and training a replacement, compensating for lost revenue, and managing other expenses related to their absence.
With the right protection in place, your business can continue to operate effectively, even when circumstances get challenging.
Buy & sell cover: Retaining business control and continuity
When a co-owner is incapacitated or dies unexpectedly, this can seriously disrupt the smooth functioning of a business. This is where buy & sell cover, also known as buyout insurance, can prove invaluable.
At NZ Insurances, we can help you find buy & sell cover providers that offer a lump sum to the remaining co-owners, allowing them to buy out the shares of the deceased or disabled owner. This means business operations can continue seamlessly and that control remains with the surviving owners, fostering smooth transition and uninterrupted growth.
Group policies: Collective coverage for enhanced protection
Group policies provide comprehensive insurance coverage to a group of individuals, such as employees of a company, at often lower premiums than individual plans.
These policies can be a lifeline for those who might otherwise struggle to qualify for other insurance coverage, especially since they are usually not underwritten and cover pre-existing conditions.
At NZ Insurances, we connect businesses with group policy providers that offer life, health, and disability insurance.
These policies can contribute to employee satisfaction, loyalty, and overall protection. They are also a smart management tool – a way of proactively protecting your business against potential risks and helping your team get back to work faster when health issues strike.
Let NZ Insurances, as your dedicated insurance advisers, help you find and negotiate the right insurance solutions, so you can focus on your core business with peace of mind. | https://www.nzinsurances.co.nz/post/business-insurance-policies-explained-understanding-how-key-person-buy-sell-and-group-insurance-empower-your-business | 502 |

Sick and tired of scraping the payment together each month for car insurance? Your situation is no different than most other car owners. Companies like Progressive, Allstate, State Farm, and GEICO constantly blast consumers with catchy ads and consumers find it hard to see past the corporate glitz and effectively compare rates to find the best deal.
It’s a good idea to take a look at other company’s rates quite often due to the fact that insurance rates tend to go up over time. Just because you found the best price on 2011 Dodge Charger car insurance last year the chances are good that you can find a lower rate today.

There are ways you can lower your 2011 dodge charger insurance cost. If you are insured now or need a new policy, you can use these techniques to get lower rates while maintaining coverages. Buying car insurance is not rocket science. Consumers only need an understanding of the most efficient way to compare company rates on the web.
How to Compare Car Insurance Coverage Quotes
Most companies like GEICO, State Farm and Progressive quote prices for coverage on the web. Getting online quotes is fairly simple as you simply type in your required coverages into the quote form. After you complete the form, their system automatically retrieves your driving record and credit report and generates pricing information based on these factors. Being able to quote online makes comparing rates easy, but the time required to go to each company’s website and repetitively type in the same information can get tiresome after awhile. But it is imperative to have as many quotes as possible if you are searching for the lowest possible prices on insurance coverage.
A more efficient way to locate the lowest prices uses one form that gets prices from several companies at one time. It saves time, helps eliminate repetitive entry, and makes online quotes a lot less work. As soon as the form is sent, it is rated and you can choose any or none of the quotes returned. If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you simply finish the application and buy the new coverage. The entire process just takes a couple of minutes and could lower your rates considerably.

Auto Insurance Agents Can Help You Find the Best 2011 Dodge Charger Car Insurance
When buying the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Every insured’s situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions might point out whether or not you could use an agent’s help.
- Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
- When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
- Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
- Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?
- Is upholstery damage covered by car insurance?
- Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier It’s fast, free and may give you better protection.
Car Insurance Coverages Explained
Knowing the specifics of auto insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on most auto insurance policies.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2011 Dodge Charger.
Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.
Collision coverage – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Charger from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims such as damaging your car on a curb, sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Medical payments and PIP coverage – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses like surgery, chiropractic care and nursing services. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like hitting a deer, hitting a bird and a broken windshield. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Liability coverages – This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services, repair costs for stationary objects and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
Frequently Asked Questions

To compare car insurance coverage quotes efficiently, you can follow these steps:
- Visit multiple insurance company websites like GEICO, State Farm, and Progressive.
- Fill out the quote form on each website with your required coverages.
- Retrieve your driving record and credit report, as these factors can affect pricing.

This process takes just a few minutes and can potentially lead to considerable savings.
How can auto insurance agents help me find the best 2011 Dodge Charger car insurance?
When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage for your 2011 Dodge Charger, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Each insured individual’s situation is different, and a standard policy may not meet your specific needs. To determine if you could benefit from an agent’s help, consider the following questions:
- Are you unsure about the coverage options available for your Charger?
- Do you want personalized advice on selecting the appropriate coverage limits and deductibles?
- Are you looking for a policy that fits your budget while providing adequate protection?
If you find it challenging to answer these questions on your own, it may be beneficial to consult with a licensed insurance agent. You can fill out a form or visit an insurance carrier’s website to find an agent in your area. Seeking professional assistance can help you obtain better protection and make more informed decisions.
What are the different coverages explained in auto insurance policies?
Auto insurance policies typically include coverages such as Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist, Collision, Medical Payments/PIP, Comprehensive, and Liability. These coverages protect against various scenarios, including accidents, damage from non-collision incidents, injuries, and liability claims.
How can I lower the cost of my 2011 Dodge Charger insurance?
There are several ways you can lower the cost of your 2011 Dodge Charger insurance. Consider the following techniques:
- Maintain a good driving record: Avoid traffic violations and accidents to demonstrate responsible driving behavior.
- Increase your deductible: Opting for a higher deductible can lower your insurance premium. Just make sure you can afford to pay the deductible in case of a claim.
- Bundle your policies: If you have other insurance policies, such as homeowners or renters insurance, consider bundling them with your auto insurance to potentially qualify for a multi-policy discount.
- Inquire about discounts: Ask your insurance provider about any available discounts, such as good student discounts, safe driver discounts, or discounts for installing safety features in your vehicle.
- Shop around for quotes: Compare quotes from multiple insurance companies to ensure you’re getting the best possible rate for your coverage needs.
Is it necessary to enter my ZIP code to view companies with cheap auto insurance rates?
Yes, entering your ZIP code is necessary to view companies with cheap auto insurance rates because insurance rates can vary based on your location. Insurance companies consider factors such as local crime rates, traffic congestion, and the number of claims in your area when determining premiums. By providing your ZIP code, you’ll receive quotes from companies that operate in your specific location and can offer coverage at competitive rates. This ensures that the rates you view are relevant and tailored to your area.

Insurance plays a vital role in real estate investing, particularly when it comes to single-family homes. This form of investment can offer a blend of long-term capital gains and immediate cash flow, but it doesn’t come without its risks. I understand that to protect my financial investment against untimely disasters or legal liabilities, it is essential to have the right insurance in place.
As I navigate the world of single-family home real estate investing, I know I must consider various insurance policies tailored to real estate investors’ unique needs. A comprehensive insurance plan ensures that my property remains a lucrative asset, even in the face of unexpected events. It’s about safeguarding my investment from the risks inherent in real estate, while also providing peace of mind as a landlord in the management of my rental property.
- Insurance is a crucial component for safeguarding real estate investments.
- Careful selection of coverages can mitigate financial risks for single-family home investors.
- A well-managed insurance strategy contributes to the stability and growth of a real estate portfolio.
Understanding Real Estate Investment
Entering the realm of real estate investment demands a clear understanding of its intricacies and the various avenues available. Let’s explore the landscape of investing in properties, offering a roadmap to potentially lucrative endeavours in the housing market.
Types of Real Estate Investments
My focus often starts with identifying the types of investment properties. I can either opt for residential properties, such as single-family homes or multifamily properties, like apartment buildings. Each type holds unique demands and benefits: single-family homes are often easier to manage, but multifamily properties can generate multiple streams of cash flow. Commercial real estate is another option, though it comes with its own set of complexities.
Key Investment Strategies
Crafting an investment strategy is paramount. The basic approaches include long-term rental strategies, where consistent rental income builds my returns over time, or a fix-and-flip strategy, which involves renovating and selling for a quick profit. Diversifying my investment portfolio across different types of properties and strategies helps spread risk and potential for gains.
The Role of Market Analysis in Real Estate
Have I considered what makes an investment location lucrative? This is where market analysis steps in. Examining the local housing market, from employment rates to rental demand, helps me pinpoint areas likely to appreciate. It impacts my return on investment (ROI) by influencing both the capital appreciation of the property over time and the rental income I can expect to receive.
Financial Aspects of Investing in Single-Family Homes
Investing in single-family homes can be a wise financial move, providing the potential for both asset appreciation and rental income. Solid financial planning and understanding the tax implications are paramount for making profitable investment decisions.
Financing Your Investment
How do I secure the necessary funds to purchase a property? Financing the purchase of a single-family home usually involves obtaining a mortgage. Lenders will assess my credit score, the down payment I can afford, and the interest rates available at the time of buying. It’s often recommended to aim for a lower purchase price to keep mortgage payments within a range that allows for a positive cash flow from rental income.
- Lenders: Offer various mortgage products; interest rates may vary.
- Down Payment: Typically, the larger it is, the better the financing terms.
- Interest Rates: Can greatly affect monthly payments and cash flow.
Maintaining adequate cash reserves is also crucial to cover unforeseen maintenance costs and periods when the property might be vacant.
Understanding Taxes and Cash Flow
What are my tax responsibilities as a real estate investor? When investing in single-family homes, it’s essential to be informed about the property taxes and how they will impact my cash flow. In addition to the mortgage, property taxes, and possible homeowner association fees, I need to account for maintenance costs. A solid understanding of these outflows is critical to ensuring a positive cash flow, which is the lifeblood of my investment’s financial security.
- Taxes: Income from rental is taxable, but several deductions are available.
- Cash Flow: Calculating the gross rental income minus all expenses gives me the net cash flow.
Properly understanding and managing these financial aspects will support my goal of achieving financial freedom through investing in single-family homes.
Property Insurance for Single-Family Homes
As an investor in single-family homes, I’m well aware that protecting my investment is crucial. Navigating the intricacies of property insurance can be daunting, but understanding the different types of coverage and selecting the right insurance broker are key steps to safeguarding my financial interests.
Types of Insurance Coverage
What types of insurance coverage should I consider as a protective shell for my property investment? Firstly, homeowners insurance is non-negotiable—it covers the dwelling, personal property, and general liability. However, this isn’t where my coverage should end. Landlord insurance offers broader protection, including loss of income, which is vital if an unexpected event, like a natural disaster, leaves my property uninhabitable. For areas prone to flooding, securing flood insurance is vital considering that standard policies typically exclude flood damage.
To ensure I’m covered against lawsuits that may exceed standard policy limits, I look to umbrella insurance, which provides additional liability coverage. Similarly, rent guarantee insurance can be a wise investment to safeguard against the loss of rental income due to tenant default. Understanding these coverage options gives me the power to mitigate financial risk.
Selecting the Right Insurance Broker
Why is it important to choose the right insurance broker? An experienced insurance broker serves as my guide through the complex landscape of insurance coverage options. Their expertise is invaluable in identifying the specific needs of my investment properties and matching those with the most suitable and cost-effective policies. When I select a broker, I make sure they have a strong track record with single-family rental properties, and that they can offer options for renters, liability, and any additional coverage that aligns with my risk management strategy. Choosing the right broker means establishing a partnership that helps secure the longevity and profitability of my real estate investments.
Managing Single-Family Rental Properties
Managing a single-family rental property is a dynamic process that often involves juggling various operational aspects like securing proper insurance and handling maintenance tasks.
Effective Property Management
Why should I concern myself with finding a skilled property manager? The answer lies in the value of your time and the complexity of rental property management. A property manager can handle day-to-day operations like tenant screening, rent collection, and lease enforcement. They ensure that the rental properties generate income reliably, which can be particularly attractive for families or individuals seeking a steady revenue stream without the hands-on hassle. When it comes to insurance, as a landlord, having landlord insurance is crucial as it provides coverage for property damage, lost rental income, and liability protection.
Maintenance and Renovation
How can I keep maintenance costs in check while ensuring my property stays attractive to renters? Scheduling regular inspections and responding quickly to maintenance requests, such as plumbing or utilities issues, are key strategies. Allocating funds for maintenance and renovations can preserve and potentially increase your property’s equity. Notably, if considering larger renovations, hiring a general contractor with insurance is essential to protect against potential liabilities and ensure a high standard of work. For those considering an Airbnb rental model, remember that guests expect a high level of upkeep, making maintenance even more critical. When replacing or updating features, it’s important to consider the replacement cost as it affects both insurance considerations and the property’s overall value.
Scaling and Growing Your Investment Portfolio
When venturing into real estate investment, expanding your portfolio is key to achieving financial freedom. My focus here is on broadening your asset types and leveraging existing equity to fuel growth.
Diversifying Real Estate Investments
Have I considered adding multifamily units to my mix of single-family homes? Diversifying can safeguard my portfolio against the volatility of the housing market. By acquiring various types of properties such as land, rental properties, and multifamily units, I can distribute risk and potentially increase my cash reserves from different income streams.
Leveraging Equity for Growth
How can the equity in my current properties work for me? I’ve realized that utilizing this equity to secure new investments is a powerful strategy. For instance, I might tap into my home’s equity to provide a down payment for my next property, effectively using my mortgage as a tool for expansion. With each acquisition and subsequent increase in equity, the potential for further growth magnifies, allowing me to scale my real estate portfolio more rapidly while keeping an eye on maintaining a solid foundation of cash reserves for maintenance and emergent issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Investing in real estate, particularly single-family homes, involves understanding and managing various risks. These FAQs cater to proactive investors eager to protect their assets effectively.
What types of insurance policies are essential for single-family home investors?
For me, ensuring that my investments are well-protected is critical. Individual insurance policies covering each property, along with landlord insurance for liability and loss of rental income, create a fundamental shield. Additionally, policies like umbrella insurance provide extra liability coverage, which can be increasingly important as my portfolio grows.
How does investor insurance protect single-family real estate investments?
Investor insurance is specifically designed to cover the various risks I face as an investor. It shields against financial losses from property damage, liability claims, and even income disruption due to untenantable conditions after an insured event.
Can single-family home investors benefit from a master trust insurance policy?
Yes, a master policy can be advantageous when I own multiple properties. It streamlines the process by aggregating coverage under a single policy. This can potentially offer cost savings and simplified management, a relief for investors who may already be dealing with complex investment portfolios.
What specific risks are covered by a typical real estate investment insurance policy for single-family homes?
The typical policy would cover the structure itself, loss of rental income, and liability protection. Depending on the provider, it may also cover other risks specific to the location or type of property I invest in.
How does the Philadelphia Contributionship model influence modern insurance for single-family home investing?
The Philadelphia Contributionship, established in the 1750s, introduced standards for fire risk reduction in homes. Today, my insurance rates for single-family homes may be influenced by such risk mitigation measures, rewarding upgrades and maintenance that reduce fire hazards.
What are the unique insurance considerations for single-family homes in historical districts or with significant heritage?
When investing in homes within historical districts or those possessing significant heritage, I must consider additional insurance to cover the costs of specialized repairs or replacements with period-accurate materials and workmanship. These properties often come with specific regulations that standard policies might not address, necessitating a specialized approach.

Texas is arguably the least regulated states in the country favoring businesses. With 3 million small businesses employing 4.9 million workers in the state, Texas has several favorable policies and a good business environment for small businesses to grow and flourish. However, small businesses still have risks, so if you own a small business in Texas, you’ll need business insurance to protect your assets.

What does Texas business insurance cover?
Like any business, Texas business owners face risks. Business insurance helps protect you from financial losses if someone sues you. Accidents happen, and just one lawsuit can easily bankrupt a small-to-midsize business. In general, business insurance covers your business when someone sues your business. That someone can be your customers/clients, your business partners, your vendors, or even your employees.
There are many different types of business insurance. What kind you need depends on the nature of your business, what you do, and if you have employees. Some insurance coverage is required by Texas state law, some are not. We discuss the details below.
Texas general liability insurance
General liability insurance is the most common type of business insurance. It protects you from losses in the event of third party bodily injury or property damage. It also covers copyright infringement, reputational harm, and advertising injury.
Third party bodily injury and property damage are very common reasons for someone to sue. Customers who come into your place of business and trip over an extension cord may sue you for the costs of their medical bills, wages lost while they recover, and pain and suffering. Just hiring a lawyer to defend you is expensive: lawyers in Texas charge between $130 and $420 an hour.
If you have a business where you visit someone in their home or office, property damage is always a risk. It only takes a second for you to accidentally damage someone’s sheetrock or newly laid tile floor.
Copyright infringement is when someone claims you are using their intellectual property in your business or marketing without their permission. This happens more easily than you might think. Say you’re setting up your brand new website and you come across a lovely photograph somewhere that you think is perfect. You put the photo front and center on your website and wait for the profits to roll in. However, you didn’t get permission from the photographer that took the photo and now they are suing you.
Advertising injury is when someone representing you or your company slanders another person or company. This is similar to reputational harm, which is when you say something that hurts another person’s business. There is a lot of overlap between advertising injury and reputational harm, since one often causes the other.
Texas Business Owners Policy (BOP)
Business Owners Policy (BOP) is a popular bundled insurance policy for small businesses of less than $10 Million in revenue and/or 100 employees. It combines general liability, commercial property, and business interruption in one single policy, helping small businesses save money on their insurance needs.
If your business operates out of a storefront where our customers come by often such as a retail store, a cafe, a restaurant, or petcare store, etc. you may want to consider a BOP instead of buying at least 2 policies separately: general liability and commercial property insurance.
Texas professional liability insurance
Sometimes called Errors & Omissions (or E&O) insurance, this protects people who provide professional services and/or advice to the public. It protects you from both mistakes you may have made (errors) or things that you neglected to do (omissions). It doesn’t cover you at all if you did something with intent. Accountants, insurance agents, financial advisors, doctors and lawyers (called malpractice insurance) all need this type of coverage.
Texas cyber liability coverage
Cyber liability insurance protects you in case of a data breach or a hacking event. Malware, ransomware, email compromises all fall under potential cyber security breaches. These days, anyone who handles digital information should look into cyber liability coverage. If you have customers’ credit card information, social security information or banking information online somewhere, the potential for someone to steal that information is quite high. The average cost of a data breach in 2020 was $8.64 million dollars.
Texas workers comp insurance
General liability insurance only applies to customers, vendors, and independent contractors. If one of your employees is injured on the job, workers compensation insurance will cover their medical bills, lost wages, and other related costs. In the worst case scenario, workers compensation covers funeral costs.
Texas is the only state in the US not requiring workers comp insurance. Unless your company provides products and services to federal government, you are not required to provide workers comp insurance to your employees in Texas. However, let’s stress that workers comp insurance is the most essential coverage for employees working for you, you should still have it.
According to a study from the National Center for State Courts, the median combined cost of both parties involved in a workers compensation law suits is $88,000. This can put a toll or even bankrupt a small business.
In addition, Texas has some of the cheapest rates in the country for workers comp, so there’s really no reason not to get it.
Other types of insurance to consider in Texas:
Small businesses in Texas often consider other types of insurance below as well:
Texas commercial property insurance:
Commercial property coverage protects your business’s physical locations, offices, warehouses, and contents inside them. If you rent a building for your business, it is likely that your landlord requires you to have this coverage.
Texas product liability insurance
Product liability insurance protects you if you are sued because a product your business produces is defective. This is different from product recall coverage.
Texas liquor liability insurance
If your business sells or serves alcohol, you may want to obtain liquor liability insurance. If a customer of yours is involved in an accident after consuming alcohol that you sell, he may decide to sue you. Liquor liability insurance will protect you in such cases.
Texas business interruption insurance
If your business has to close due to a covered peril, you lose income as a result. Business interruption insurance will cover you from the income loss. That is the reason why it is also called business income insurance.
Texas Directors and Officers insurance
Directors and officers insurance, or D&O, covers your company if a board member or an officer is sued due to an action or a decision they make on the company’s behalf. It covers all legal fees and settlement expenses, if any.
Texas commercial auto insurance
If you use a car or any type of vehicle for business purposes, you need commercial auto insurance in Texas. The only exception is commuting back and forth to your job.
All commercial vehicle insurance in Texas must have the following minimum coverage required by the state law:
- $30,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per person
- $60,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per accident
- $25,000 in property damage coverage per accident.
It is also known as 30/60/25 minimum requirements for commercial auto insurance
If you cross state lines as a truck driver, you’ll need to comply with FMCSA regulations.
Is business insurance required in Texas?
The only type of business insurance required in Florida is commercial auto if you use a vehicle for business purposes. That said, you’ll want workers comp insurance and general liability insurance as well, or you could combine general liability insurance with business property insurance for a Business Owner’s Policy. That would help you save money on your business insurance needs.
What types of businesses need to have insurance in Texas?
Almost every small business would do well with general liability insurance. If customers come to your place of business or if you go to their homes or offices, general liability insurance can save you lots of headaches.
If you offer professional advice or services, you need professional liability insurance. People such as:

Navigating Risk Management Strategies in the USA
Risk management is a critical aspect of any business strategy, ensuring resilience in the face of uncertainties. In the dynamic business landscape of the United States, understanding and implementing effective risk management strategies are paramount. Let’s delve into the key components and considerations for successful risk management in the USA.
Understanding the Landscape of Business Risks in the USA
The first step in effective risk management is a comprehensive understanding of the unique risks associated with operating in the United States. These may include economic fluctuations, regulatory changes, geopolitical factors, and industry-specific challenges. A thorough risk assessment provides the foundation for crafting tailored risk management strategies.
Compliance and Regulatory Risk Mitigation
Navigating the complex regulatory environment in the USA is crucial for businesses. Compliance risk arises from the potential legal and financial consequences of failing to adhere to industry regulations. Establishing robust compliance measures and staying abreast of regulatory changes are integral to effective risk management in the country.
Financial Risk Management Strategies
Financial risks, including market volatility and economic uncertainties, demand careful consideration. Implementing sound financial risk management strategies involves diversifying investments, hedging against currency fluctuations, and maintaining liquidity. These measures provide financial stability and resilience against unforeseen economic challenges.
Cybersecurity Measures for Digital Risks
In an increasingly digitized business landscape, cybersecurity is a prominent concern. Protecting sensitive data from cyber threats is a vital aspect of risk management. Businesses in the USA must invest in robust cybersecurity measures, including encryption, regular audits, and employee training, to mitigate the risks associated with data breaches.
Insurance as a Risk Mitigation Tool
Insurance plays a pivotal role in risk management, providing a safety net for unexpected events. Businesses in the USA should carefully assess their insurance needs, considering factors such as liability, property, and business interruption coverage. Tailoring insurance policies to specific risks helps mitigate potential financial losses.
Supply Chain Resilience in a Globalized Economy
Global supply chains expose businesses to various risks, from geopolitical tensions to natural disasters. Effective risk management requires a focus on supply chain resilience. Diversifying suppliers, implementing contingency plans, and utilizing technology for real-time visibility contribute to a more resilient and adaptive supply chain.
Crisis Management and Business Continuity
The ability to manage crises and maintain business continuity is at the core of risk management. Developing a comprehensive crisis management plan involves identifying potential crises, establishing communication protocols, and ensuring employees are trained to respond effectively. Business continuity planning minimizes downtime during disruptions.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Considerations
ESG factors are gaining prominence in the business world, influencing risk perceptions. Businesses in the USA need to integrate ESG considerations into their risk management strategies. Addressing environmental and social issues, ensuring governance transparency, and meeting stakeholder expectations contribute to long-term sustainability.
Risk Management Technology Solutions
Technology plays a crucial role in modern risk management. Utilizing advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and risk management software enhances the ability to identify, assess, and mitigate risks. Implementing technology-driven solutions ensures a proactive and data-driven approach to risk management in the USA.
Collaboration and Industry Information Sharing
Effective risk management extends beyond individual businesses. Collaborative efforts and information sharing within industries and sectors help anticipate and address emerging risks. Engaging with industry associations and participating in forums for risk discussion enable businesses to stay ahead of potential challenges.

Why do we concern ourselves with prioritizing safety, claims management, mitigating risk and marketing insurance programs each renewal? Ultimately, the answer boils down to cost management and/or avoiding any negative financial impact on the company. What is the key to controlling cost? It relies on how effectively you manage your insurance pricing formula. Regardless of if you’re on a Guaranteed or Loss Sensitive insurance program, insurance cost is derived from the following equation:
Claims (C) X Exposure (E) x Marketing (M) = Price
To achieve better results, it may be necessary to make changes to your current approach. Start by evaluating each element in the pricing formula as to what is or is not working effectively toward your desired outcome. Below are areas to consider:
- Review internal claims management practices that prevent unnecessary spending and/or reducing direct and indirect claims expense i.e., return-to-work, claim reserve review and timely reporting practices.
- Review external claims management practices for adequate reserve practices by closing stale open claims, monitoring claims progress and/or carrier claims review meetings.
- Evaluate the accuracy of Experience Modification and Loss Runs portraying your company’s overall experience and quality of risk appropriately. Are the claims reported on the loss runs and experience modification accurate? It’s not uncommon for experience modifications to be wrong due to errors inputting data used for calculation.
- Look at internal safety and risk management practices with an eye towards preventing accidents and mitigating risk.
- Identify which exposures in your operation have the greatest impact on cost. Then, evaluate if it’s possible to avoid, reduce and/or transferred to another party. Know what exposure you are accepting as a cost of doing business.
- Consider contracts with outside vendors and customers. Is there appropriate insurance language that limits your liability?
- Evaluate if your marketing is telling your story to the carriers with the intention of negotiating better rates and coverage.
- Know the story your broker is sharing with the carrier(s). Does it include any process improvements, changes in controls, safety and claims management changes?
The key to reducing future risks lies in your insurance carrier’s ability to best predict of possible future events based on the past behavior or performance in similar situations. By evaluating these areas in the pricing formula, you can help mitigate potential risks.

Your moving home ‘to-do’ list may be long but is probably missing some crucial things. With so much paperwork and stuff to pack, it’s so easy to forget to think about your car and home insurance policies.
Whether you’re a homeowner or a tenant, you’ll need to amend your home insurance to cover your new property – whether that be buildings or contents insurance, or a combined policy covering both. It’s also vital to consider how things like your car insurance may also be affected by your move, especially if you’re relocating to a different area or part of the country.
Here we’ll give some guidance on how this works so you can ensure that you and you’re possessions are still covered.
And if you are thinking about switching, you can use our partner QuoteZone’s insurance comparison tool to find the best policy and save yourself time and money.
If you’re moving away, you’ll need to inform your car insurer and the DVLA as soon as possible. This is to ensure that your details are up-to-date with your new address. If you don’t do this your car insurance may be invalidated.
It’s unlikely it’ll be necessary to change your insurer, but it may be that they won’t guarantee the same price for where you’re moving.
If your move means that you can no longer park your car in a garage or driveway, or if your new local area has a higher level of recorded crime your insurance may go up. In some cases, of course, these same factors may mean your policy ends up being cheaper.
If you feel that you do want to cancel your policy and get a new one, be aware you may not get money back (if you’ve paid annually) if you have less than two months left on your policy.
When you’re moving home your buildings insurance on your current property is redundant. So if you’re looking to change your provider you’ll need to cancel your policy and get a refund on what’s left (minus a cost).
If your insurance policy has less than a couple of months to run then, unfortunately, it’s unlikely you’ll receive any money back as the insurer will be taking their profit out of the monies you’ve already paid.
A common problem people experience is that certain insurers may not cover certain types of properties. So, for example, if you’re moving from a house to a block of flats you may be forced to cancel your insurance and take out a new policy.
However, if you want to (and can) stay with your current insurer you can pay any difference in the cost of cover (usually plus a small admin fee) if you’re moving to a property that costs more to insure. If you’re moving to one that’s cheaper to insure you may be due a rebate – though you’ll probably still have to pay the admin fee.
Your contents insurance is usually linked to your buildings insurance. However, this isn’t always the case. If it’s not, then you should carefully consider your best options – it may be worth combining the two at your new property. If you do decide to cancel your current cover then you’ll face a similar situation regarding refunds to buildings cover.
Unlike buildings cover, it’s very unlikely that your insurer for contents won’t cover you at any other address. However, your cover costs may change depending on the risk in the area you’re moving to – so you might need to pay a supplement or get a rebate.
It is important to remember to check your policy to see if you are covered for actually moving your possessions to your new home.
As with your buildings insurance, you’ll be in a similar situation with regard to refunds, rebates, or extra charges depending on the premium costs at your new location.
Above all, make sure you contact your insurers regardless of what you plan to do – and as soon as you know your moving day – so you can ensure you’re aware of all the questions you may have to answer and the procedures you need to have in place at the appropriate times.
Having problems with moving your policies when moving home? Trouble getting fair and adequate cover? Resolver can not just help you raise a complaint for free but also compare insurance quotes so you get the best deal. | https://news.resolver.co.uk/moving-home-your-insurance-checklist/ | 942 |
What Is A Risk-Benefit Analysis
Accurately weighing the risks versus benefits of any project decision can be tricky—take a look at this article to gain insights into how a risk-benefit analysis helps make informed decisions.
Making informed decisions can be tricky when balancing the risks and rewards of any project.
A risk-benefit analysis (RBA) is a tool to help organizations or individuals identify and examine the benefits, costs, and likelihood of success before committing time and resources to any venture.
What Is Risk-Benefit Analysis?
Risk-benefit analysis (RBA) is a tool used to weigh the potential benefits and risks of a decision before committing to it.
This type of analysis is used in many different industries including finance, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare to
determine if the potential rewards outweigh any potential harm that may be done.
RBA helps organizations or individuals make informed decisions by considering both positive and negative
outcomes before making a choice.
Benefits of a Risk-Benefit Analysis
The risk-benefit analysis is a useful tool for informing decisions because it can effectively weigh both the potential risks and benefits associated with a project.
It allows decision-makers to view the complete picture of any project or decision, helping them make more informed choices.
Additionally, RBA can help reveal unforeseen risks that might have been overlooked or unknown, allowing
decision-makers to take steps to address them or modify the plan accordingly.
Understanding Risk Factors
Risk factors are any potential issues that could affect the outcomes of a decision.
The risks may be related to the project itself or its implementation, and they can include technical, financial, safety, and other types of risks.
For example, a new product launch may risk failure due to poor marketing or low customer demand, while a
a construction projects may have risks related to cost overruns or environmental damage.
Analyzing these risk factors is important in order to determine the overall benefits and drawbacks of any project or decision.
Objective Assessment of Both Benefits and Risks
Risk-benefit analysis requires a thorough examination of both anticipated benefits and possible risks associated with a project or decision.
This should be objectively done, without bias towards either the potential benefits or risks, in order to ensure that the decision maker is making an informed choice.
Since different stakeholders may obey different motivations, it’s important to make sure all relevant points of
view are represented in order to get a complete picture of the risk versus benefit ratio.
Document the Objectives, Alternatives, and Solutions
In risk-benefit analysis, documenting the objectives of the project, potential alternatives, and proposed solutions are essential.
The objectives should outline what the project attempts to accomplish and what conditions must be met in order for success to be achieved.
Alternative solutions should be listed so that any negative consequences associated with a chosen solution can be compared against those of other options.
Potential risks associated with each alternative must also be documented in order to understand the full
implications of any course of action which could be taken in relation to the project.

FG Automotive Berlin: Automotive Cybersecurity: A new dimension of processes and product
23.06.2022 | 18:00 - 19:30
Die Fachgruppe Automotive Berlin lädt zum englisch-sprachigen Vortrag von Puneet Makkar mit anschließendem Networking nach Berlin ein.
Automotive Cybersecurity: A new dimension of processes and product
Due to the increasing networking and digitalization of vehicle systems, the automotive industry is witnessing increased cybersecurity risk in recent years. The software of vehicles today contains about four times more lines of code in the software than that of a fighter plane. To combat different cyberattacks and safeguard the privacy and life of customers, the automotive industry has already reacted to this in recent years and has intensively dealt with the cyber security of the new systems. The World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29), under the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), has released new regulations on cybersecurity and over-the-air software updates. These will make cybersecurity mandatory for securing market access and type approval across UNECE WP.29 member countries. On the other hand, new safety-critical standards (ISO/SAE 21434) are being developed which provides a way to achieve the requirement stated in regulation on cybersecurity. Almost all operations, roles, procedures, processes, and participating entities are affected by a standard on automotive cybersecurity with the introduction of ISO/SAE 21434 Road Vehicles – Cybersecurity Engineering Standard. The introduction of standards and regulations has also forced the assessor community to build a framework for evaluating the Cybersecurity development processes.
In this talk, the challenges and benefits will be explained, what needs to be considered for developing processes according to the Cyber Security Norms and Standards. Furthermore, we will also be focusing on cybersecurity requirements that are pushed on to suppliers and how suppliers are preparing for the cybersecurity process landscape.
Besides the standard and regulations, the content will focus on examples showing the experience of the speaker.

What You Need to Know About Rideshare Accidents in Texas
One of the best ways to get around Dallas, Texas is to use a rideshare app. Millions of Americans utilize Uber or Lyft every day, and it’s very often a convenient, safe, and positive experience. However, like any other time you get on the road in a moving vehicle, rideshares are at risk of getting into an accident.
If you or a loved one has recently been in a crash and are looking for a rideshare accident lawyer in Texas, the law office of Carabin Shaw can help. In this article, we detail what you need to know about rideshare accidents in Texas, so you are prepared to meet with a Dallas Uber accident lawyer when the time comes.What to Know Before You Call a Dallas Lyft Accident Attorney
Since rideshare apps are fairly new, it might seem confusing at first as to how accidents operate. But whether you are another driver, a pedestrian, or a passenger sitting in the backseat of your Uber, what you need to know about rideshare accidents in Texas is that they follow the same rules as any other accident. After a collision, the incident is assessed for liability to determine which driver caused the accident, the injured parties make their case, and the claim is either negotiated and settled by lawyers and insurance agents, or goes to court.Which Insurance Companies Will Be Involved in My Claim?
With rideshare accidents, however, there are some more complexities. For example, if the driver that caused the accident was, at the time of the accident, logged into an app such as Lyft or Uber, then those companies can also be held liable and their insurance will kick in. If the driver was not logged in or driving for one of those apps, then their insurance companies will not be involved in the claim and only the driver’s personal insurance will be held liable to pay for damages.
Your rideshare accident lawyer in Texas will be able to help you determine this in your initial consultation.Rideshare Liability and Negligence
For your claim, your attorney will need to prove that the rideshare driver was at fault for the accident through negligence, as opposed to, say, rain, or other bad road conditions.
For example, your Dallas Uber accident lawyer will look to see if the other driver was speeding, looking at their phone, or otherwise driving recklessly, and this specific action caused the accident. Running stop signs or red lights, not signalling when changing lanes, tailgating other drivers, and any other flouting the rules of the road are all forms of negligence, and will allow you to make a claim.Seeking Compensation for Damages
As with any car accident, the next part of the process is to assess damages. This is where you seek monetary compensation for your injuries, including property damage, pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, and more. Your lawyer will be able to help you set a value to each of these.
Since rideshare drivers are considered “independent contractors,” however, your Dallas Lyft accident attorney may need to negotiate with several different commercial insurance companies to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries. And as mentioned earlier, the details of the accident matter a lot here. If the rideshare driver was currently providing a ride and hits you, then you can potentially receive a large payout from the rideshare company’s insurance policy. They typically have upwards of $1 million in insurance for their drivers, though this coverage changes depending on when, exactly, the accident takes place.Next Steps: Call Carabin Shaw for a Free Case Review
If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident recently in Dallas, Texas, you will need a lawyer on your side to help you with your claim. Carabin Shaw has been helping Texans get justice for decades, and has won over $1 billion for our clients. We offer a free, no obligation case review to everyone, so call 1-800-862-1260 to speak with an experienced and qualified attorney today. | https://www.carabinshaw.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-rideshare-accidents-in-texas.html | 833 |

FBI Seeks New Crop of Good-Guy HackersCyber Special Agents Face Dangers Other InfoSec Pros Don't
The FBI is seeking to expand its roster of special agents with cybersecurity expertise. But the federal law enforcement agency confronts a number of challenges that recruiters in the private sector don't face. Those include offering relatively low salaries as well as potentially dangerous assignments.
Though compensation for some entry-level positions is competitive with many businesses, the FBI can't match the compensation the private sector offers for more experienced cybersecurity specialists.
In addition, the responsibilities of special agents go far beyond core technology duties to include various law enforcement tasks, such as participating in arrests, search warrants, raids and other dangerous assignments that "pose the risk of personal bodily harm," according to a current job posting for special agent/cyber.
Atypical IT Security Job
"Nobody should think that it's all about making forensic images of computers and sitting behind a desk; that's not an FBI agent's job," say Tim Ryan, a former FBI special agent and supervisor who oversaw the bureau's largest cybersquad.
"We want them to have all these computer skills, but you got to want them to understand coming in: you're an FBI agent," says Ryan, who's now managing director and cyber-practice leader at risk management adviser Kroll. "You'll carry a gun, be trained to defend yourself, defend others. And, when other people are running away from planes going into buildings, your job is to run toward that. You're not going to learn that in a SANS class or a computer science class."
The push to increase the FBI's roster of special agents with cybersecurity expertise comes at a time when a growing number of investigations involve cyber in some capacity. The FBI considers protecting America against cyber-based attacks as its No. 3 priority - after terrorist attacks and foreign espionage - and is actively engaged in the investigation of the nation's most notorious IT security breaches, including Sony Pictures Entertainment, Target and Home Depot.
"Cyber permeates every aspect of what we do, whether it's counterterrorism, criminal investigations or traditional cyber-attacks, as we've seen in the recent past," says Robert Anderson Jr., executive director for the FBI's Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch. "That's why these type of people are so important to get into the pipeline and come into our organization."
In an FBI video, Robert Anderson Jr. discusses the special agent/cyber recruiting program.
The current job posting for special agents/cyber - the FBI expects to recruit fewer than 100 in this round of hirings - emphasizes situations and skills not normally found in private-sector IT security jobs. First, the hiring process is lengthy, taking up to a year. Once hired, rookie agents spend 19 weeks in training in Quantico, Va., away from their families. When training is done, the new agents will be assigned to one of 56 field offices located throughout the United States, including Puerto Rico. And, throughout their careers, special agents must be available for temporary duty assignments anywhere in the world. The minimum work week is 50 hours, and agents must be on call 24x7, including holidays and weekends.
"FBI employees work hard," says former FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Cyber Steve Chabinsky, general counsel and chief risk officer at CrowdStrike, a provider of endpoint security wares. "Still, applications to join the FBI always far outnumber the actual job vacancies. The FBI is a cool place to work because FBI employees have the satisfaction of working on the most important investigations, with access to the most sensitive information, and the ability to stop massive attacks."
The FBI's Anderson says the bureau's mission is unlike anything a cybersecurity expert would face in the private sector, focusing on national security cyber-investigations or major, complex criminal probes with a cyber nexus. "The biggest thing you can offer to anyone that comes to work at the FBI is the mission and the scale of investigations that you work inside the FBI," Anderson says. "It doesn't matter where you go, it doesn't matter who you work for, you can't get that anywhere else but the FBI."
Kroll's Ryan says the FBI can offer its cyber special agents something that the private sector can't: experience combining in-person and electronic investigations. "It's not just conducting computer forensics, but how to do [live] investigations as well, which can be different. You're just not going to get that kind of investigative experience outside the FBI."
Tim Ryan explains how his FBI training helps him solve cases at Kroll.
To become an agent, recruits must be physical fit and pass a medical exam and endure a rigorous background investigation, credit checks and a polygraph in order to obtain a top-secret security clearance.
No one will get rich being an FBI special agent with a cybersecurity specialty. The job posting for special agent/cyber lists a pay range of $59,340 to $76,568. According to a survey conducted earlier this year by the SANS Institute, which offers IT security training, the average annual income of a forensic investigator is $67,273 for someone with zero to three years of experience and $83,624 for those with four to six years of experience (see Why InfoSec Pay Shows Lackluster Gains). The same survey reveals a security engineer earns an average of $70,238 a year with zero to three years and $97,128 with four to six years of experience.
"While it will be harder to sway senior cyber engineers and technicians from their jobs, the bureau's call will appeal to those who are trying to get real, boots on the ground skills and those looking to deepen the type of working they are doing," says Christopher Pierson, chief security officer at the secure invoicing and payments network Viewpost and former president of the Phoenix chapter of InfraGard, an FBI-private sector partnership that shares threat information.
Kroll's Ryan says he expects many of the applicants will be individuals with cyber expertise who have long wanted to join the FBI or other law enforcement agencies. Indeed, he says an underlying message of the current job posting is that individuals who want to become FBI agents should not major in criminal justice but rather select a field that the bureau seeks, such as cybersecurity. | https://www.govinfosecurity.com/fbi-seeks-new-crop-good-guy-hackers-a-7744 | 1,296 |
The Impact of Monetary Policy on the Level of Economic Activities and Bank Performance under Alternative Financial Sector Regimes
IZOKPU, Ehivue Daniel and ISHIORO, O. Bernhard (Ph.D)
IZOKPU, Ehivue Daniel
Abstract: The research looked into how monetary policy affects economic activity and bank performance in different financial sector regimes. The data for this study were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) statistical bulletin. The study's goal was to look into the impact of monetary policy on bank performance, the relationship between monetary policy and bank reforms in Nigeria, and the relationship between bank policy changes and bank performance. The research was founded on theories of economic growth, monetary policy, and the financial sector. Return on Assets after Tax (ROA) is used as dependent variable in this study, while Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR),Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Interest Rate (INT) were used as dependant variables Monetary policy rates and cash reserve ratios have a negative impact on after-tax return on assets, whereas interest rates have a positive impact. The study recommended that, in the long run, relevant authorities in Nigeria's executive and legislative branches develop practical and feasible economic-friendly policies aimed at encouraging sustained and improved foreign investment inflows that can have a positive effect on the country's economy; the Central Bank's Monetary Policy Committee should also formulate and implement measures that would keep the interest rate and exchange rate at levels that would not have an adverse effect on the country's economy
Keywords: Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), Return on Assets after Tax (ROA), Interest Rate (INT), CBN. | https://www.himjournals.com/article/articleID=894 | 353 |

Running your own business can be an exciting endeavor, but it’s important to stop and consider the risks your business may face and how you can successfully safeguard your business from claims and any unfortunate events. No matter what industry you’re in, all businesses face some level of liability, and General Liability Insurance can help protect your business from a variety of common claims.
Get a quote on General Liability Insurance
General Liability Insurance, also known as Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance, protects your business financially from lawsuits and damages that arise in the course of doing business. If your business unintentionally causes bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, or advertising injury to a third party, CGL will pay for the legal fees, settlements, judgements, and even medical payments.
General Liability Insurance is one of the most common types of commercial insurance that businesses purchase, as accidents can happen to anyone at any time. If you or an employee accidentally harms another person or property, CGL can help protect your business financially if you are sued.
- You own a popular restaurant, known for its top-notch burgers and fast service. Lately, you’ve seen a surge in business, and the restaurant is constantly packed. Over the weekend, a customer slipped on some wet flooring near your soda fountain. He injured his back and decides to sue your restaurant for damages. Your CGL policy will cover any legal and defense costs.
It’s important to note that General Liability Insurance is third-party insurance, which means it covers you against claims by third parties, which don’t include your business or your employees. Third parties may include customers, vendors, or landlords.
General Liability Insurance covers three categories of damage: property damage, bodily injury, and personal and advertising injury. Under General Liability Insurance Policies, your insurer will cover the costs of any legal defense or attorney’s fees incurred while defending against covered lawsuits, as well as any medical payments. In the event that your business is sued because of an accident, CGL can help provide financial backing to help reduce the financial strain on your business.
General Liability Insurance will pay for the damages if your business or one of your employees causes property damage to another person or company’s property.
- You have a wholesale business that rents a warehouse from a landlord. One of your forklift operators accidentally drives into and damages a structural wall.
- Your plumbing business performs repairs at customer homes. One of your plumbers knocks over and destroys a valuable vase on a service visit.
Bear in mind, General Liability Insurance does not provide coverage for damage to your own business property—only for damage to the property of others. For coverage of your business property, you would need commercial property insurance.
- You own a restaurant, and a fire starts in the kitchen, spreading to a neighboring bakery. The fire destroys their storefront and equipment. General Liability Insurance would cover damage to your neighbor’s property. It does not, however, cover the fire damage to your own restaurant and equipment.
Another important exclusion to property damage coverage is property belonging to others that is under your care, custody, or control. If your business often takes temporary care or possession of others’ property, you may need additional coverage.
- You are hired to remodel a client’s kitchen. As your employees are carrying a heavy sink into the kitchen, they accidentally drop the sink, severely damaging the floor. In this scenario, the damage to the floor would not be covered by CGL insurance because the kitchen would be considered to be in your care, custody, or control.
To protect against such incidences, you’ll need an additional endorsement, often known as voluntary property damage. Voluntary property damage provides coverage for unintentional damage to others’ property while that property is under your care, custody, or control. For businesses that take temporary possession of customers’ property, like a computer repair business or dry cleaner, you may also want to consider bailee’s customer insurance.
General Liability Insurance covers your business if a third party who is not an employee suffers a bodily injury while on your business premises or in the course of your business operations. CGL will cover legal defense costs, court costs, any judgements or settlements, as well as medical fees.
- You own a clothing retail store. An employee mops the floor and puts up a wet floor sign. A customer does not see the sign and walks on the wet floor. He falls and breaks his hip.
- You own a home appliance store, and one of your employees visits a customer home to fix a recently purchased dishwasher. He accidentally leaves his tools on the floor of the customer’s kitchen. The customer trips over the tools and is seriously injured.
If your company is found liable for any bodily injury to a third party, CGL will pay for damages to the other party. These damages might include the injured party’s medical expenses, lost income from not being able to work, pain and suffering, and funeral expenses.
The products and completed operations coverage portion of Commercial General Liability covers any property damage or bodily injury caused by your company’s products or services. It should be pointed out that coverage here applies to incidents that occur away from your business property, while the property damage and bodily injury coverage areas of CGL apply when the damage occurs on your business premises.
Products and completed operations coverage consists of two coverage areas: products liability and completed operations liability. Products liability covers your business if the products that you sell are defective or have a faulty design and cause either bodily injury or property damage. Products liability does not cover defects in products if they do not cause injury or damage. This coverage also excludes the costs of a recall.
- You manufacture and sell custom electric lights. Due to a design flaw, a custom light you sold to a customer catches fire at the customer’s home, burning down their property. Products liability would cover the property damage to their house.
- Your business manufactures and sells hammers. A batch of hammers has a manufacturing defect, and the head and handle are prone to separate, causing injury to a customer. The customer’s medical expenses and lost income would be covered by products liability.
Completed operations covers your business if there is property damage or bodily injury caused by work your company has completed for a client.
- Your contracting company constructs a bathroom for a client. Due to your company’s faulty work, a pipe bursts, causing extensive water damage to the client’s home. Completed operations coverage would cover the damage to the home.
In addition to the broad coverage provided by the bodily injury and property damage sections of Commercial General Liability Insurance, personal and advertising injury provides coverage for several non-physical, reputational injuries that are specifically defined. While bodily injury and property damage cover unintentional acts, personal and advertising injury covers intentional acts that may have unintended consequences. If an injury is knowingly or deliberately caused, coverage would be excluded.
The areas covered by personal and advertising injury include:
- False arrest, detention, or imprisonment. Example: A retail store suspects a customer of shoplifting and calls the police. The police arrive and arrest the customer. Upon investigation and review of surveillance video, the police realize the customer did not shoplift. The customer sues the store for false arrest.
- Malicious prosecution. Example: A sports equipment store was broken into over the weekend, with thousands of dollars of golf equipment stolen. The owner suspects the culprit is a recent customer who he recently had an argument with over the pricing of his golf clubs. The owner contacts the police and has the customer charged with theft. A few weeks later, you find out one of your employees stole the equipment. You drop the charges against the customer, who, in turn, sues you for malicious prosecution.
- Wrongful eviction, entry, or invasion of the right of private occupancy. Example: A landlord who is not familiar with the legal procedures for eviction orders a tenant to leave his apartment without getting the necessary court order for eviction. The tenant leaves but sues the landlord for wrongful eviction.
- Publications that violate privacy. Example: A company publishes an advertisement using an Instagram celebrity’s face without obtaining permission. The celebrity sues the company for invasion of privacy.
- Slander, libel, or disparagement. Example: A business publishes a post on their website comparing their product to their competitor’s. The post contains several false statements about the competitor’s product. The competitor sues the business for libel.
- Copyright, trade dress, or slogan infringement in advertising. Example: A local pizza restaurant creates a new logo for an ad that looks similar to the logo of a national pizza chain. The local restaurant is sued for copyright infringement.
- Use of another’s advertising idea in your advertisement. Example: A regional ice cream brand releases a new commercial for its vegan ice cream line, featuring imagery of a scoop of ice cream morphing into the planet Earth. Unfortunately, the ad looks very similar to a national chain’s advertisement, and the regional brand is sued.
If your company is sued for a cause covered by the insurance policy, General Liability Insurance will offer protection and cover the costs of your legal defense, including attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These fees will be covered whether or not your company is found at fault. These legal fees don’t count against your limits of coverage for most General Liability policies.
- Your CGL policy has a limit of $1 million, and you are liable for a judgment of $1 million, plus $250,000 in legal fees. The insurance company would pay for all $1.25 million in costs.
Commercial General Liability will cover medical expenses in the event of any third-party injury that occurs on or adjacent to your business property or is caused by your business operations. While the third-party injury coverage portion of your CGL policy can cover medical bills as well, it will only do so when the policyholder is found to be at fault for injury. With the medical payments portion of your CGL policy, your insurer will pay for medical expenses up to the policy’s medical expense limit, regardless of fault.
One of the primary benefits of having medical payments coverage is the possibility of avoiding potential injury lawsuits. Medical payments coverage can pay for first aid, ambulance or hospital fees, medical or dental services, and funeral services, no matter who is at fault for the injury. Having these expenses covered may help to avoid litigation.

This cost survey included small businesses with under $500K in revenue in 27 industries, including retail, wholesale, manufacturing, consultants, contractors, and more. Premiums are based upon Commercial General Liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in aggregate.
The table below lists the average insurance cost in a selection of industries as studied by AdvisorSmith.

|IT / Technology
|Photo & Video

Pricing for General Liability Insurance is based upon the unique risks your business faces. Insurers consider factors such as:
- Business size
- Number of employees
- Claims history
Businesses with higher risks will have higher premiums than those deemed lower risk. For example, an amusement park will probably have higher liability premiums than a graphic design business. Premiums also rise as you increase the limits of insurance. Different insurance companies have different models for rating risks, so it is worth comparing pricing across different insurers.

There are several common exclusions to General Liability Insurance you should know about:
- Your business property. General Liability Insurance only covers damage to the property of others. For coverage of your own property, you need commercial property insurance.
- Professional errors. To protect against lawsuits related to your professional errors or omissions, you need professional liability insurance.
- Employee injuries. To cover employees who fall ill or are injured on the job, you should buy workers’ compensation insurance.
- Employee discrimination lawsuits. Employment practices liability insurance covers employment-related issues such as discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination.
- Automobile accidents. For auto coverage, you need commercial auto insurance.
- Damage caused intentionally. If you knowingly or purposefully caused injury or damage, coverage is excluded.
- Liability resulting from crimes or fraud.
General Liability Insurance is not legally required in most cases. In some states, General Liability Insurance is required as a condition of getting a license for some professions, such as plumbers and electricians.
Sometimes, customers or other third parties may require General Liability insurance in order to do business together or allow access to their premises. For example, a caterer for a wedding may be required to have insurance by the wedding venue. Or, a moving company may be required to have insurance by a building in order to work in the building.
No, General Liability Insurance usually does not have a deductible.
The limit of insurance is the maximum that the insurance company will pay in claims. It is common in General Liability policies for there to be separate limits “per occurrence” and “per year.” The “per occurrence” limit is the maximum that the insurer will pay for a single loss, while the “per year” limit is the maximum they will pay for the policy year.
Your business has limits of $2 million “per occurrence” and $4 million “per year.” During a particularly unlucky policy year, your business experiences the following losses:
- $2.5 million
- $1 million
- $1.5 million
The insurance company would pay the following amounts on your claims:
- $2 million, because the “per occurrence” limit is $2 million
- $1 million
- $1 million, because the “per year” limit is $4 million and $3 million has already been paid in (1) and (2)
What is the difference between Public Liability and General Liability Policy?
Public liability insurance provides a minimum layer of liability coverage, focused on bodily injuries and third-party property damage. It’s a starting point for insuring your business against liabilities and is much more common in the United Kingdom and Australia. General Liability Insurance is more commonly purchased in the U.S. and contains more comprehensive coverage than public liability insurance, including coverage for personal and advertising injury.
General Liability Insurance is one of the most commonly purchased insurance types and is foundational for many businesses. CGL can help protect your company and provide coverage for third-party liability claims of property damage, bodily injury, and advertising injury. No business is immune to accidents, and if your business faces an expensive personal injury lawsuit, would it be able to weather the storm without insurance? Most business owners won’t take this chance and make sure they have a comprehensive insurance plan in place, including coverage for General Liability. | https://advisorsmith.com/business-insurance/general-liability-insurance/ | 3,368 |

Know what to do when you’re involved in an auto accident.
For a minute, life stops. You don’t remember how you got to this moment, but here you are. When you’ve just been in a car accident, not only are you one of the unlucky people, but you’re likely to not know where to start to recover your car. How you react can prevent further injuries, reduce costs, and accelerate the clean-up and repair process.
If you’re involved in a traffic collision, try to remain calm, and follow these steps:
Keep an emergency kit in your glove compartment.
Drivers should carry a cell phone, as well as a pen and paper for taking notes, and a disposable camera if you’re tech-shy. If there are minor injuries, you can pull out your emergency kit!
Keep safety first. Drivers involved in minor accidents should move cars to the side of the road and out of the way of oncoming traffic. Turn on your hazard lights and set out cones, flares, or warning triangles if possible.
Exchange information. If you or other driver or passenger is in need of immediate medical attention, call 911 immediately. If everyone is uninjured, exchange information with the other driver, such as name, address, phone number, driver’s license number, and license plate number. If there is any damage done to the cars, take photos on your phone or disposable camera.
File an accident report. Once the police are on the scene, ask for a copy of the report, and jot down the officer’s names.
Call your auto insurer. The whole insurance process is smoother if you know the details of your coverage. Don’t wait until after an accident to find out that your policy doesn’t automatically cover costs for towing or a replacement rental car. Let your insurer know that you’ve been in an accident and follow the policy procedure.
Make sure that your company has your version of what happened and check your policy for your deductible limits. Work with a company that’s dedicated to securing the quality auto insurance that you and your vehicle need and deserve. Contact the professionals at Aimpro Insurance, located in Phoenix, Arizona. | https://aimpro.net/tips-handle-car-accident/ | 468 |

DAN GELBER Special to the Times
In its recent special session, the Florida Legislature passed a bill intended to address the economic crisis our state faces due to spiraling windstorm insurance rates. All Democrats supported the bill because it represented the first time the Legislature seriously attempted to reduce rates and deliver long-overdue consumer protections.
But while the bill we passed was a good start, it will not deliver meaningful relief to everyone who needs it. We have much more to do.
The main thing we did was enlarge the state's involvement in the reinsurance business. Reinsurance is the expensive backup insurance that insurance companies buy to cover possible losses in the event of an active hurricane season. The bill will allow the state to provide less expensive reinsurance to private companies who will have to pass their savings directly to homeowners in the form of premium reductions. Although the risk of future assessments will be greater in the event of a bad storm season, consumers in the private market can expect 10-40 percent discounts on their current premiums.
We also implemented reforms to change the insurance-friendly rate-setting process.
Where we fell short, however, was how we dealt with the obscene rate increases felt by those Floridians who are held hostage in Citizens Property Insurance Corp. Citizens, the state-run insurance company, was created to be the insurer of last resort and was required by law to charge more than private insurers. As private insurers abandoned higher-risk policies, Citizens has become the largest insurer in the state with more than 1.3-million policyholders. Its service is subpar. Because it is a risk pool made up of mostly high-risk customers, its rates have gone through the roof.
The bill we passed last month will not provide enough relief to Citizens' customers. We did stop a 56 percent rate increase that should not have been there in the first place. We also postponed for one year a 21 percent increase that would have made Citizens' rates more financially sound. But stopping or postponing huge rate increases provides little relief to homeowners who have already experienced doubling and tripling of their rates.
The best scenario offered by last month's legislation is a likely 5 percent to 18 percent reduction of Citizens bills. But much of that comes with strings or is speculative. For instance, a good part of the relief will require Citizens customers to use Citizens for all their property and casualty insurance - not just windstorm. Many folks will not want to abandon their current private insurer for a company that has not proven itself competent.
I believe if Citizens customers are to get truly meaningful relief, the Legislature and governor need to make a choice: Let Citizens expand significantly so that it spreads its risks among both high- and low-risk policyholders; or get homeowners out of Citizens and into the private market with incentives that will result in substantial rate reductions. For instance, we could offer even greater reinsurance discounts to private insurers who accept Citizen policies at substantially reduced rates.
This bill was far and away the most proconsumer insurance measure the Legislature has passed in recent years. Of course, given how much control the insurance industry has had on Florida's Republican-dominated Legislature, the bar was set mighty low. But I credit Gov. Charlie Crist with leading the charge and setting the tone. Whether this becomes a blip in a bad situation is yet to be seen. Real rate relief for Citizens customers hangs in the balance.

Cold weather will continue to impact Colorado homeowners and renters.
Colorado has experienced some frigid temperatures recently, and another snowstorm has blanketed many parts of the state today. And as Coloradans, we know to expect still more snow and cold as we head into the spring.
With cold weather comes the common problem of frozen and burst pipes. If people experienced this during the last cold snap, they’re probably already working with their insurance companies. Others could be dealing with this issue today, or even in the coming weeks. Because of this, the Colorado Division of Insurance (DOI), part of the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), offers some general tips about homeowners and renters’ insurance when submitting claims in these situations.
- Burst pipes - and resulting water damage to the property (such as flooring or cabinets) and the contents of your home - generally are covered under homeowners and renters’ insurance policies.
- If you can’t live in your home because of the water damage from burst pipes - in insurance-speak, your home is uninhabitable as a result of a covered loss - then Additional Living Expenses (ALE) could be claimed on your homeowners / renters’ insurance to cover the additional costs associated with staying in a hotel or other residence. If this happens, be sure to keep receipts and other records.
- The problems Texas suffered are still very much in the news, so know that if there is an extended power outage due to ice storms or other weather, you may be able to make a claim for food spoilage, and if the home becomes uninhabitable, maybe ALE.
- The Division often sees claims get delayed or become problematic when the homeowner or renter neglects to include an inventory of damaged property when submitting the claim. It’s important to provide all the information as soon as possible so that the claim can be processed quickly. Providing information in bits and pieces will slow things down.
- Homeowners and renters should contact their insurance company as soon as possible after the damaging event occurs. While you need to mitigate any further damage, you should get additional instructions from the company before making any repairs.
One more word of caution, but that is not related to insurance and claims, but is about safety. With some of the deep snow seen today, and which can be common throughout Colorado, it’s important to recognize that the vents of your house can get blocked, trapping gases like carbon monoxide inside. After a big storm, make sure the snow (and anything else) is not blocking the outside vents or stacks for your stove, dryer, furnace and fireplace.
Colorado consumers should contact the Division of Insurance if they’re having trouble with their claims moving forward, are concerned about the information they are receiving from their company, a poor level of customer service or are experiencing any kind of problems or delays with their claims. In these cases, it’s time to ask questions, and maybe even file a complaint.

Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you have been involved in a car accident it’s important to do certain things to help us develop your case:
- Seek immediate medical assistance if you are injured in anyway as a result of the accident. Certain injuries may not develop until sometime after the initial accident. It’s important to seek the attention of your primary care physician or medical provider right away.
- Retrieve information with the other people involved, including names, telephone numbers, insurance company information including policy names and numbers and license plate numbers.
- Contact the police. Retrieve a copy of the police report. Remember to only give accurate facts regarding the accident as these statements may be used against you in future litigation.
- If possible, try to obtain pictures of the scene and the vehicle after the accident.
- Contact Pazzaglia Law, LLC. Don’t make any statements to the insurance company. Insurance companies interests are adverse to yours in an accident claim and they will attempt to minimize the impact of the accident and obtain statements that can be used against you.
Our firm understands that this can be an incredibly stressful time for individuals and families. Most of the time, your initial goals after going through such an unfortunate event is to not suffer financially and having your medical care attended to. Do not let the insurance companies dictate what you’re actually entitled to. Our firm can help you receive a full recovery of damages. Damages in CT are as follows that can be recovered:
- Medical Bills
- Lost Wages
- Loss of Earning Capacity
- Future Medicals
- Pain and Suffering
- Mental and Emotional Pain
- Loss or Diminution of ability to enjoy life’s pleasures
- Permanent impairment
- Loss of Function | https://pazzaglialaw.com/motor-vehicle-accidents/ | 365 |
Today’s nightmare is identity theft. Hackers get into computers to steal personal information. The first we learn of it is when we discover three mortgages have been taken out on our houses. Luckily for us, identity theft insurance can be added to our homeowners’ policies for extra consideration. Here’s how Amy Tounget Insurance Agency LLC in Midlothian, TX sees it.
What Identity Theft Insurance Can Do
Identity theft insurance won’t recover your lost cash, but it will help with reversing the fraud, fixing your credit score, and securing your accounts. Other things include:
• Lost wages from work as you work on the theft
• Copies of all three credit reports
• Lawyer fees
• Financial institution fees
Some savvy insurance companies already have identity theft built into their policies, so check first.
Is Credit Monitoring Included in Identity Theft Insurance?
Many insurance companies offer some level of credit monitoring while others leave it to credit monitoring “services.” If the company carries it, all three credit bureaux will be monitored, with alerts to the insured of the smallest change in the reports.
Why Is Identity Theft Insurance Attached To Homeowners’ Policies?
Institutions loaning money on mortgages want it repaid. When they give “you” money for a house in Denver or a vacation cottage in Palm Beach, they want that repaid as well. If they hear you calling to tell them that you don’t have a vacation cottage or another house in Denver, then they swing into action to set things right.
Reach Out To Us
Identity theft insurance is written into homeowners’ policies to protect both the homeowner and financial folks. Everyone wants their identity restored so things can go back to normal. Amy Tounget Insurance Agency LLC in Midlothian, TX wants this for you, so drop into the office or call to discuss this necessary insurance. | https://www.amytounget.com/blog/2023/05/ | 398 |

Health insurance is a vital tool in today’s times. Medical treatment costs have reached a high pace in the present scenario and are expected to rise further. You should select a sum insured depending upon the capacity of payment of your premium. The higher the coverage, the more is the amount of premium.
Health insurance comes into the scenario at an unpredicted event, such as hospitalization due to diseases or accidents. Usually, the employer’s insurance cover will not be adequate, given the rising medical expenses and hospitalization.
It is suggested to go for a health coverage plan to cover all your family members in this context. This plan is known as ‘Family Floater.’ You can also go for health insurance online as nowadays going digital is gaining prominence.
Mentioned below are various factors that you should keep in mind for a first-time buyer while buying healthcare insurance:
✔ Information about the Members Insured
One can easily explore the best coverage parameters depending on the members’ health status to cover under the policy.
✔ Kinds of Policies
Whether you are opting for either individual or a Family Floater policy, it will not make much difference. Both types have their advantages when it comes to insuring a single individual or all family members. Floater options are ideal for a younger family, whereas an individual policy works well for members above 50.
✔ Amount Covered: Sum Insured
Sum insured is one of the most vital factors that you should consider from a long-term perspective. Keep in mind to look at the cost of medical expenses for today and the future, i.e., 15-20 years. Therefore, the sum insured should be chosen in line with the increase in medical treatment.
✔ Room Rent
This factor makes the people pay out of their pocket despite having a medical policy in place. Therefore, one should make sure that the policy which they are purchasing has no restriction towards room rent.
✔ Network of Hospitals
This is yet another essential aspect when it comes to emergency hospitalizations. In case of emergencies, few bother to check whether a particular hospital is included in the network hospitals’ cashless list. Thus, one should check the network hospitals in the vicinity for all insurers and identify the one that offers the maximum geographical coverage from an emergency hospitalization view.
✔ Set of Benefits
With the revamping of traditional medical plans, many insurance companies have introduced a host of new benefits that may be taken into account when one shortlists a plan. These benefits may include the restoration of cover amount, free medical check-ups, maternity benefits, and the like.

✔ Pre-Existing Illness
This factor arises when an insurer has a historical medical condition and plans to seek coverage for the same while buying a new policy. If there is no such kind of diseases, the amount of investment can be increased. Moreover, the insurance premium would keep increasing with the age.

Lemonade Becomes a Public Benefit Corporation – What does this mean for insurance?
Peer-to-peer insurance start-up Lemonade announced its decision to become a PBC – Public Benefit Corporation – Tuesday morning, May 17, joining the ranks of Techweekand Kickstarteras startups embracing this new corporate structure with dual profit and public benefit mandate.
This would make Lemonade not only the first peer-to-peer insurance company, but the first insurance company to make public service central to its mission. Lemonade made headlines earlier this year for its peer-to-peer insurance model, which means that the primary source of funding for claims is the policyholders. If no claims are made in a policy period, policyholders can get back a portion of what they paid, and have premiums reduced. The model is designed to simplify funding and give policyholders more benefits than traditional insurance structures allow.
The announcement, sent by email from CEO/Founder Daniel Schreiber, states that “Rebuilding insurance as a social good, rather than a necessary evil, is now a part of our legal mission,” and that, “Working in partnership with nonprofits, and baking giving-back into our business model, holds the promise of a better insurance experience, and a more valuable insurance company.”
A public benefit corporation is like a traditional company, but with a public-service requirement. While typical companies have only a responsibility to get large profits, PBCs are required to benefit society in the process, or risk suit from their shareholders. It’s not quite the same as going non-profit, which keeps the company from having shareholders or (of course) profits, but there are limitations compared to a traditional corporate structure.
Why would a company choose to become a PBC? One of the biggest reasons is that it’s popular – not just with the public, but with investors too. It’s seen as a way to appeal to investors interested in sustainable, socially conscious, and environmentally friendly companies, by providing legal accountability for companies to reach those goals.
Secondly, compared to going non-profit, there are many more financing avenues open to PBCs – just as many as are available to a typical public corporation, in most cases. This keeps PBCs eligible for the type of venture capital upon which start-ups thrive.
But the real question is this: Does a Public Benefit Corporation insurance company translate into better coverage or lower premiums?
The answer… it depends.
The closest living cousin of a Public Benefit insurance company in the style of Lemonade are mutual insurance companies, where policyholders are part-owners in the company. Because of this aspect of member-ownership, mutual insurance companies should have more obligation to serve its members than traditional insurance companies. However, in our analysis of top auto insurance companies, we found no correlation between a company’s status as a mutual insurance company and customer satisfaction or lower premiums. And while Nationwide insurance (a mutual insurance company) was rated, “Best for Most Drivers”, other insurance companies, mutual and non-mutual, were recommended for safe drivers with clean records, older drivers, military families, and more.
Most likely the answer to the question will lie in Lemonade’s corporate charter and the willingness of stockholders to hold them to it. Lemonade’s announcement states that “rebuilding insurance as a social good” is now a part of their legal mission. With their launch in New York within weeks, we will see how Lemonade plans to incorporate this into their business strategy, and whether this will result in better insurance for its users.
You can read the full text of the announcement below.
Daniel Schreiber here, with updates from Lemonade.
I’m thrilled to report that a few days ago, by unanimous vote of our board and shareholders, Lemonade became a Public Benefit Corporation, and was also awarded provisional ‘B-Corp’ certification. Both are firsts for an insurance carrier, and are points of tremendous pride for our team.
Rebuilding insurance as a social good, rather than a necessary evil, is now part of our legal mission. Our Chief Behavioral Officer, Professor Dan Ariely, says that “If you tried to create a system to bring out the worst in humans, it would look a lot like the insurance of today.” Working in partnership with nonprofits, and baking giving-back into our business model, holds the promise of a better insurance experience, and a more valuable insurance company.
In other news, I’m happy to say that we’re putting finishing touches on our product and will be ready to launch in New York within weeks. The final step is for us to get our license, and if all goes to plan, we’ll have that shortly.

Want lower insurance rates for your BMW M5? Are you baffled by the wide range of insurance companies in your area? There are so many choices that it can be a ton of work to find the best premium rates.
Not many people think insurance is cheap, but you might be missing out on some discounts that could help you make your next renewal payment. Some trigger automatically when you complete an application, but a few need to be requested specifically prior to getting the savings.
Please keep in mind that some credits don’t apply to the entire cost. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like liability and collision coverage. So when it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you’re out of luck.
The best auto insurance companies and some of their more popular discounts are outlined below.
If you need affordable insurance coverage quotes, ask each insurance company which discounts they offer. All car insurance discounts may not apply to policies in your area.
When it comes to choosing coverage for your vehicles, there is no cookie cutter policy. Every insured’s situation is different.
These are some specific questions can aid in determining if your insurance needs would benefit from an agent’s advice.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form.
Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from flooding, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism and hail damage. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for claims like backing into a parked car, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a ditch and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability insurance covers things like structural damage, emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but buy higher limits if possible.
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your BMW M5.
Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses such as ambulance fees, chiropractic care and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Insureds change insurance companies for any number of reasons including delays in responding to claim requests, lack of trust in their agent, poor customer service and even an unsatisfactory settlement offer. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch finding the right car insurance provider can be pretty painless.
There are still a few companies who may not offer the ability to get quotes online and most of the time these smaller providers work with local independent agencies. Budget-friendly car insurance is available on the web in addition to many insurance agents, so you should compare both to have the best chance of lowering rates.
We covered some good ideas how to reduce 2009 BMW M5 insurance premium rates online. It’s most important to understand that the more price quotes you have, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. You may even discover the lowest priced car insurance comes from a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising. | https://www.quotearound.com/2009-bmw-m5-compare-insurance-cost/ | 1,090 |
No matter what your age is, diseases can attack anyone. With the significant rise in medical expenses, it becomes vital to purchase a health insurance policy. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has declared several changes in the health insurance policies as an attempt to make insurance customer-friendly. Earlier, you had to pay the insurance premiums annually. Now, you have an option to pay them in installments. Also, the maximum age limit for health insurance policies has been increased as per the IRDAI.
The premiums payable for health insurance are linked with the insurer’s age and will gradually increase as the insurance buyer ages. Buying an insurance policy at the age of 60 will cost you more than it will cost at the age of 30. Someone who is 60 and above pays a higher premium, and this could prove to be a burden on their finances.
The option of paying premiums in various installments-monthly or quarterly is helpful, as the customers can now pay the premiums on time and enjoy the benefits of their health plans. However, the terms and conditions mentioned in the policy documents will not change.
Purchasing health insurance for senior citizens is vital, under this plan individuals in the age group of 60 to 75 years receive medical coverage. Some other advantages of senior citizen plan are that it includes the facility of cashless hospitalization, treats pre-existing diseases, pays for expenses incurred during medical check-ups.
As per the updated guidelines by IRDAI, every health insurance provider must cover people up to the age of 65. The new rules are quite helpful for people as it helps them get coverage at later stages in life when it’s needed the most. It is also possible for them to transfer to a new insurer if they are not satisfied with the services of their current insurance provider.
As per the IRDAI, the insurers can increase the maximum age of purchasing health insurance. The premiums caused due to the modifications based on the loss-ratio numbers can be increased or decreased by 15%, by the health insurance companies, said IRDAI.
The elderly tend to contract major diseases that could be life-threatening. Health plans also have something known as critical illness insurance. Under this insurance, major or critical diseases such as heart attack, paralysis, etc. are covered. These conditions do not get covered under the basic health plan. Senior citizens can add the critical illness plan in their existing health policy or can purchase it separately as a standalone plan. In case you ever get diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, your insurer will offer you a lump sum amount that can be used for the treatment.
However, it is imperative to first compare various health plans available for senior citizens before purchasing. To compare and then pick the policy is probably the right thing to do. This will give you a clear idea of which policy suits your requirements. | https://feedalizr.com/know-all-about-updated-health-insurance-for-senior-citizens/ | 585 |

Understanding Common Cyber Crimes and the Motives of Cyber Criminals
In today’s digital age, the threat of cyber crimes looms large over various industries, including agribusinesses. As the world becomes more interconnected, the risk of cyber attacks targeting the agriculture sector has increased significantly. To this end, this blog post, we will explore the most common cyber crimes that agribusinesses face and delve into the motives behind these malicious acts. By understanding these threats, you can take proactive steps to safeguard your agribusiness from cyber attacks and protect your valuable data and operations.
1. Cyber Security and Phishing Attacks
One of the most prevalent cyber crimes is phishing attacks. Cyber criminals use deceptive emails, messages, or websites to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details1. These attacks often target agribusiness employees, posing as legitimate organizations or colleagues to gain access to confidential data. The motive behind phishing attacks is usually financial gain or the theft of valuable intellectual property2.
2. Ransomware and Agribusiness Cyber Security
Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common in recent years. Furthermore, in these attacks, cyber criminals infiltrate an agribusiness’s computer systems and encrypt valuable data, demanding a ransom in exchange for its release2. The motive behind ransomware attacks is primarily financial gain. Agribusinesses are attractive targets because they rely heavily on data for operations, and the disruption caused by a ransomware attack can be devastating.
3. Data Breaches
Data breaches involve unauthorized access to sensitive information, such as customer data, financial records, or trade secrets. Cyber criminals may sell this stolen data on the dark web or use it for identity theft or other malicious purposes2. However, the motive behind data breaches can vary, including financial gain, competitive advantage, or even political motivations.
4. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks
DDoS attacks aim to overwhelm a targeted website or online service by flooding it with an excessive amount of traffic, rendering it inaccessible to legitimate users2. Cyber criminals may launch DDoS attacks against agribusinesses for various reasons, including extortion, revenge, or even ideological motives. Additionally, These attacks can disrupt operations, cause financial losses, and damage a company’s reputation.
5. Social Engineering and Agribusiness Cyber Security
Social engineering involves manipulating individuals to gain unauthorized access to systems or sensitive information. Cyber criminals may use tactics such as impersonation, pretexting, or baiting to deceive employees into divulging confidential information or performing actions that compromise security1. The motive behind social engineering attacks is often to exploit human vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access to valuable data or systems.
As agribusinesses increasingly rely on digital technologies and interconnected systems, the risk of cyber crimes continues to grow. Understanding the common cyber crimes and the motives behind them is crucial for protecting your agribusiness from potential threats. By implementing robust cybersecurity measures, training employees on best practices, and staying vigilant against emerging threats, you can safeguard your valuable data, operations, and reputation. | https://techsupport.farm/agribusiness-cyber-security/ | 636 |
The State Claims Agency has recently released a report on employee sexual harassment in the healthcare system following public pressure from several bodies to do so.
RTE, the state broadcaster, recently aired a damning report which revealed sexual harassment legal actions was taken by five members of staff employed in the State healthcare system over the last number of years. These staff members stated in their claim that they had been assaulted by users of the healthcare service. The complaints were made to the State Claims Agency.
The Agency has not released specific details about where the alleged abuse took place in any individual cases. However, the report was able to announce that the claims are in connection with incidents that happened between 2012 and 2016. The five claims make up almost 50% all sexual harassment claims currently being handled by the State Claims Agency for the State.
Fianna Fail and the Oireachtas Justice Committee publicly called for the State Claims Agency to release the report, breaking down of all sexual harassment claims made against individual public sector bodies available for scrutiny. The State Claims Agency had initially declined to release any information on such claims. Further requests for the information came following the initial refusal by the State Claims Agency to release such a breakdown, by employer and sector, of all the sexual harassment claims which it handles on the State’s behalf.
Additionally, in November 2017 The Oireachtas Justice and Equality Committee made contact with Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan requesting him to support a call for the data to be released. As a result of this persistent pressure, the State Claims Agency made a limited amount of information on the number of such claims available. The SCA did not say where the incidents that claims arose from happened.
In an official statement released the State Claims Agency confirmed that it has managed 11 claims of sexual harassment in the workplace, which it said were “referable to three State Authorities, inclusive of all Delegated Healthcare Agencies, in the years 2012 to 2016”.
It also confirmed that in six of the 11 cases they’ve handled the alleged assailant and assailed person are both staff members. In the remaining five incidents they said the individual believed responsible for the assault was a service user in the healthcare area and the victim of the assault was a member of staff.
The State Claims Agency (SCA) said that “The claims that the SCA handle, of this nature, are claims which are wholly or mainly ones seeking compensation for injury (mental or physical). We also need further information on the manner in which the SCA deals with such claims, how many of the cases end up in court, full details of all the costs incurred and whether the State seeks to recoup any of these costs from the alleged assailant.” | https://www.personalinjuryclaim.ie/news/state-claims-agency-report-sexual-assault-statistics-public-pressure/ | 555 |
Most often, traffic accidents are about the drivers of the vehicles involved. But what happens when you’re a passenger who suffers an injury in a vehicle accident? What are your rights to recover from the at-fault driver? Do Florida’s no-fault rules apply, and if so, how? Will you need an attorney to help you recover compensation for your damages? These are all important questions.
If you were injured as a passenger in a vehicle accident, the issues can become very complicated very fast, especially if a friend or family member was driving the vehicle. Still, remember that the Florida car accident attorneys at Searcy Denney can help.
Steps to Take if You’re Injured as a Passenger in a Florida Motor Vehicle Accident
You’re probably not thinking clearly in the aftermath of an accident, and you may feel inclined to just “stay out of it.” Nonetheless, at least remember to follow a few particular steps:
Summon the Police and Get Medical Attention. Your first step is getting the emergency medical care that you need. It’s critical to document that you were injured in the crash, and immediate medical treatment is the best way to identify your injuries. Remember, you have only a 14-day window to seek medical treatment after a car accident in Florida to collect your personal injury protection (PIP) benefits.
Figure Out Whose Coverage Applies. Currently, Florida uses a no-fault PIP system for minor car accidents. This system requires all drivers to carry their own PIP coverage insurance. The purpose of this requirement is to prevent minor accidents from ending up in the courtroom. Instead, each person looks to a PIP insurance policy to cover their own losses without considering fault.
But What If I’m a Passenger? You are not required to purchase insurance to be a passenger in someone’s vehicle. However, you might still have PIP insurance in your own name if you’re a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. Even if you don’t have your own insurance policy, you may still recover PIP benefits from some other party. You can move down a list to find appropriate converge:
- Look to Your Own Policy. The first place to look for compensation when you’re a passenger in a car accident in Florida is your own insurance policy. If you’re a passenger in a vehicle and you have your own insurance policy, it’s your own policy that applies first. You can file a claim for your own PIP benefits.
- Look at Your Family’s Policy. If you don’t have your own insurance policy, the next place to look is the policy of any family member that lives in your household. If you’re not insured, but your parent, sibling, or another family member is insured, their PIP insurance should pay your benefits, even when the family member wasn’t involved in the accident.
- Look at the Driver’s Policy. If neither the passenger nor the passenger’s household family members have PIP insurance, the next place to look is the insurance policy of the person whose vehicle you were in at the time of the accident. Their PIP policy should pay for your losses if the above options are not available.
What if PIP Doesn’t Pay?
If the PIP insurance provider doesn’t pay for your losses like they should, you can bring a legal claim against the insurance company to recover your compensation. You may need to bring a claim against your own insurer, your family’s insurer, or the driver’s insurer. The Florida car accident attorneys at Searcy Denney can help evaluate your case to determine which policy should apply and how to bring your claim.
If You’ve Been Injured as a Passenger in a Vehicle Accident in Florida, Let a Florida Car Accident Attorney Help
Florida’s liability laws can be complicated and are subject to constant change. The Florida car accident attorneys at Searcy Denney understand the law and can help you determine your best course of action. If we can help, contact us online today.

Updated guide to flood resilience
Having been flooded myself, I know only too well how appalling it can be – being flooded is a life changing experience. I have since supported many people going through the same misery, and everyone has a heart-wrenching story to tell. On top of all the other ‘stuff’ going on in our lives, being flooded can often break people.
In recent years I have therefore been on a mission to raise awareness of flood risk. An increasing proportion of flood insurance claims are now from surface water flooding – so, in my view everyone is at risk of being flooded and we should all be aware!
Last winter’s floods confirmed something I’ve said many times: a flood alleviation scheme can only reduce the risk and doesn’t take it away completely. Because of that fact, I’ve become a passionate advocate for promoting Flood Resilience – because being flooded is not the worst part; it is the months of recovery that take their toll. Being aware, having a plan and taking precautions to reduce our own risk is half the battle.
How to protect your home
Being told to ‘protect our own homes from being flooded’ is all very well, however, just how do we do this? Working together with Carly Rose, the Know Your Flood Risk campaign’s experienced PhD researcher (who has also experienced flooding) we have produced an updated guide for homeowners, which provides practical advice on making a home flood resilient.
We reviewed all the currently available measures that can be adopted to reduce the flood impact a home/property level. These are clearly listed, with a description of what they are for, as well as the kind of flooding to which they are best suited.
In addition, I interviewed many people who have been flooded and have since chosen to adapt their homes to significantly reduce the awful recovery period. One couple I talked to in York told me that after the flood water has gone, they can now be back to normality within only one hour - he hoses the house, she cleans and disinfects, then they get the dehumidifiers out and put everything back in place. Now that’s what I call flood resilient!
Unravelling who does what about flooding
Another thing I have often found puzzling is ‘who does what’ in the world of flood risk management. We have therefore added a new section to the guide that lists the risk management bodies, together with related organisations across the whole UK, and explains in simple terms what each of them does.
We have also included an updated section on Flood Re – the new way flood insurance is provided for those at high risk, many of whom will have struggled to obtain cover in the past.
Whilst it may not be always possible to stop flood water getting into a home, my hope is that by reading this guide, people at risk of being flooded can understand what they can do to reduce the awful aftermath and recover from being flooded far more quickly than in the past! | https://environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2016/11/11/make-your-home-more-flood-resilient/ | 619 |
You probably think you know all there is to know about campfire safety by now. You went to boy/girl scouts and/or to summer camp as a kid, you already heard the talk from a guidance counselor about what precautions to take when building a fire in the wild.
But think again. This was back when you were young and free, and you weren’t solely responsible for your own safety. Now you are an adult and you could use some refresher tips about how to avoid injury to yourself and your family and friends, as well as preventing damage to wildlife and the environment.
- First of all, check the weather report. If there is a warning that the weather will be hot, dry, and windy, avoid building an open fire.
- Do not build a fire where it is explicitly prohibited. Do not dig a pit in areas that are prohibited for digging for archeological or other reasons.
- Give precedence to the use of an existing campfire site, where you have ready-made rings/pits for your use and cleared ground.
- If no campfire site is available, when preparing your own, find a spot that is downwind. Make sure to keep a distance of at least 15 ft. from tents, buildings, woodland and overhead branches. Keep a 10 ft. diameter of cleared ground or bare rock around your campfire; if necessary scrape the ground from weeds and burnable material. Circle your pit with rocks.
- Keep your fire reasonably sized. Its diameter should be about 4 ft. and no higher than 3 feet. Do not use flammable liquids to ignite the fire. Make sure to dispose of the match you lit in the fire after it has cooled down.
- Do not leave your fire unattended for even a moment for any reason.
- Use only coal and wood as burning material. Do not cut or rip branches off living trees. Use small branches of dry wood or needles as tinder for your fire.
- Make sure you have enough water for dousing the fire and a shovel at hand for your immediate use. When dousing the fire, the coal/firewood should be thoroughly soaked and afterward you should stir it with your shovel and water again. Stay for an extra 15 minutes to ensure the fire is completely out, that is, when the ashes no longer hiss and steam.
- If the fire hasn’t died out after dousing, use dirt you have dug up.
- If there are kids and/or pets with you, make sure they are not left unsupervised next to the fire. Don’t let kids gain access to matches. Teach them to adhere to the rules above, and to report any out of control fire they see to an adult.
- For cooking, it is preferable to use a small stove. If using a cooking pot, make sure to dig a pit for your fire.
Remember, it is most important to stop wildfire. According to recent data, the majority of wildland fires in the USA are caused by humans, such as a fire which started in an illegal campfire that burnt down 400 square acres in Yosemite Park, causing an estimated $54 million in damages. Taking these precautions will make sure you can enjoy the outdoor experience without taking any unnecessary risks. | https://skysaver.com/blog/campfire-safety-skysaver-rescue-backpacks/ | 674 |

More than peace of mind: Travel and Medical Insurance, is an essential purchase for anyone travelling out of province.
On Dec. 2, 2019, the Toronto Star, reported that slightly more than 1/3 of Canadian travellers were “not likely” to purchase travel and medical insurance. To make matters worse, 40% of our citizens do not understand the disastrous costs they could be subjected to if they get sick or injured without appropriate out of province medical coverage. The Dec. 9 volcanic eruption in New Zealand which killed at least five vacationers, while on an offshore excursion from a cruise line highlights how one should always prepare for the worst but hope for the best.
As a trial lawyer who has practiced for over 34 years in litigating insurance cases, I cannot overstate the importance of obtaining appropriate medical and travel insurance when Canadians travel for business or pleasure regardless of their mode of transportation.
Annually, thousands of Canadians have their trips interrupted by accidents or illnesses which require them to seek medical intervention and/or hospitalization. Without appropriate travel and medical insurance their lives and savings became fraught with anxiety over mounting and medical legal bills in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
While a few recent articles have touched upon the Ontario government’s recent decision, to cancel OHIP’s small subsidy to Ontario’s taxpayers requiring emergency medical services outside of Canada, the current available subsidy is really a drop in the bucket.
Part of the problem is that the majority of Canadians are too busy or not interested in obtaining Travel and Medical insurance. For those who do obtain insurance, the majority ignore the contents of their policy once it is issued by the insurer. The consequences of not taking one’s time to secure the appropriate policy for their needs or to ensure that the terms of the policy will cover them notwithstanding their past medical history, could expose them to significant financial liability and expenses putting them a stone’s throw away, in many cases, from bankruptcy.
Suffice it to say, such cases inevitably lead to costly litigation.
Canadian jurisprudence is replete with cases in which people in good faith, completed their application for travel and medical insurance, but they either misunderstood the coverage they were purchasing or what was excluded from coverage or they didn’t realize that they had to update the insurer on their health status if it changed before they actually embarked on their trip. Either way, the consequences of being faced with a lawsuit from a US medical service provider on the one hand, and on the other, a lawsuit against the broker and an insurer will prove costly, time-consuming and extremely stressful for the traveller and/or their family.
To avoid putting a family’s financial health at risk, I will briefly highlight some of the key issues that the travelling public should carefully review in their issued policies of insurance. I will then outline in this article how they can avoid common pitfalls.
Unlike the standard automobile insurance policy in Ontario [OPCF 1] medical and health insurance policies are not standardized. In fact, Medical and Travel Insurance policies are constantly evolving as insurance underwriters attempt to plug perceived loopholes in their policies as they are decided by the judiciary.
The following must be carefully examined by the purchaser of insurance:
1. Travel and Medical policies provide coverage up to a specified amount for the traveller, if they develop an illness or medical condition which occurs while they are travelling that is sudden or unexpected.
2. The treatment must be reasonable and medically necessary.
3. The policy must start on the day of departure and end on the return date in the traveller’s province.
4. Like most insurance policies, there are a myriad of exclusions of coverage which should be carefully reviewed by the traveller. Such exclusions include but are not limited to:
a. If the traveller had a pre-existing medical condition or illness which was not stable in the 90 or 120 days before departure;
b. Medication for a health condition or illness increased, decreased, changed or intensified in the requisite time period;
c. Treatment for the condition had been received in the requisite timeframe before departure;
d. Treatment had been recommended but not undertaken within the requisite timeframe;
e. Travellers have an obligation after receiving their policies to notify the insurer of any change in their health condition including but not limited to medication, hospitalization and certain services;
f. The service claimed is not emergent;
g. The pregnant traveller’s due date is nine weeks or less before her delivery date;
h. The pregnant traveller is travelling after her delivery date;
i. Various sports exclusions are routinely included such as parachuting, skydiving, bungee jumping, rodeo, Heli skiing etc.;
j. the traveller and/or members of their family are advised not to travel by a physician;
k. A government of Canada travel advisory or formal notice is issued before the travellers’ departure time or, if one is issued after their departure there coverage is limited to the following 10 days.
Unfortunately, there are too many exceptions and coverage subtleties to discuss in detail in this article. In light of the above, employers and travellers should always shop around for a policy which best suits their needs and risk profile, given the travellers’ age, and financial wherewithal.
As the case in any insurance policy, travellers must answer all questions asked of them whether verbal or in an application, in an honest and forthright manner.
Once the travel insurance policy is issued and the requisite premium is paid in full, the traveller should always look at the policy to make sure that they understand what they received and whether the information which they previously gave to their insurance company is still accurate. A duty to ensure information remains accurate is owing right up to their date of departure.
As is the case with insurance matters, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
The purpose of this article is to highlight areas of concern which Canadians should consider when travelling out of province whether for business or pleasure.
This article is not meant to provide legal advice. If you have questions regarding coverage you are encouraged to seek legal advice relating to your specific policy and circumstances. | https://www.boslaw.ca/the-importance-of-travel-and-medical-insurance-when-traveling-abroad/ | 1,280 |
Created by Momentum Environmental, The Preserver is a retrofittable stormwater treatment system designed for both new and existing sump manholes to meet total suspended sediment removal requirements and reduce storm sewer maintenance costs. The Preserver is made of recycled HDPE and stainless steel to offer durability and resistance to corrosion.
The Preserver consists of two components, an energy dissapator placed at the inlet of the structure and a skimmer placed at the outlet of the structure. The energy dissapator controls the flow of stormwater to prevent scour of previously captured sediment, while the skimmer forces outflow from below the water surface, trapping suspended solids within the manhole.
The Preserver offers easy installation, consisting of alinging and attaching mounting brackets and attaching the energy dissapator and skimmer components to the brackets. All mounting hardware is provided along with detailed instructions. Maintenance is also simple with The Preserver, as it requires a cleanout with a vacuum truck one or two times per year.

There are been at least two court rulings on the COVID-19 insurance coverage litigation. In Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court denied the extraordinary request to consolidate COVID-19 cases under what is called Kings Bench Powers. In New York, a federal court denied an emergency request for a preliminary injunction requiring an insurer to pay its policyholder immediately while the coverage case is pending. What can we read into these two rulings?
In Joseph Tambellini, Inc. v. Erie Insurance Exchange, No. 52 WM 2020 (Pa. Sup. Ct), an emergency application was made for extraordinary relief under Rule 3309 to invoke Kings Bench Powers to bring all COVID-19 cases under the court’s jurisdiction similar to an MDL case. I’ll let those who practice in Pennsylvania explain this relief. On May 14, 2020, the court denied the application in a short decision with no substantive analysis.
Also on May 14, 2020, in Social Life Magazine, Inc. v. Sentinel Insurance Co. Ltd., No. 20-cv-3311 (VEC) (S.D.N.Y.), the court denied an emergency application by order to show cause for a preliminary injunction requiring the insurer to pay insurance proceeds to the policyholder immediately for COVID-19 damages. A written decision is forthcoming, but the transcript of the telephonic argument provides useful insights into at least one court’s views on business interruption claims under property policies for COVID-19 losses.
In denying the motion, the court made the following statement on the transcript record, which reflects the sentiments of many:
I feel bad for your client. I feel bad for every small business that is having difficulties during this period of time. But New York law is clear that this kind of business interruption needs some damage to the property to prohibit you from going. You get an A for effort, you get a gold star for creativity, but this is not what’s covered under these insurance policies.
The court focused on the direct physical loss of or damage to insured property requirement in the policies. That focus centered on Roundabout Theatre Co., Inc. v. Continental Casualty Co., 302 A.D.2d 1 (N.Y. App. Div. 1st Dep’t 2002), which held that, under New York law, the language of the policy clearly and unambiguously provided business interruption coverage only where the insured’s property suffered direct physical damage. The court also had difficulty understanding how the novel coronavirus could cause physical damage to property as opposed to making individuals ill with the COVID-19 infection. The court implied that the insured’s damage was caused by the Governor’s stay-home order and not by any particular damage to the insured’s property. It will be interesting to see how all of this is set out, if at all, in the written decision.
So what can we make of these two early decisions? It may be that MDL-type applications will have difficulty succeeding given the various state’s laws and how the analysis of individual policies requires specific state law consideration. It also seems that the issue of direct physical damage will be at the forefront of all these cases. That, of course, is no surprise. Whether the apparent skepticism on the physical damage issue will lead to the granting of motions to dismiss in these cases may be revealed when the motion to dismiss is decided in Prime Time Sports Grill, Inc. v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s London in Florida federal court. Stay tuned. | https://www.natlawreview.com/article/what-to-make-early-covid-19-insurance-coverage-court-rulings-0 | 728 |

Quick show of hands please. How many of you are happy to put business risk management on the back burner? How many of you think of your insurance as ‘just another bill’?
For many, the financial reality of running a business in these challenging times means cutting costs, not adding to them. And sometimes, insurance is one of the things they figure they can do without.
While that’s understandable, it’s not advisable. Two words seem particularly relevant here: ‘false’ and ‘economy’.
If disaster strikes your business – in whatever form – not having a contingency in place (whether that’s insurance or not) could spell trouble. Many small businesses simply don’t have the capital reserves to cope.
Help us to help you
So how do you work out what’s important? How do you know if something's 'a risk’? And how do you know if it’s a big enough risk to spend money reducing it?
The best option is to ask an expert. Get someone who can explain it to you – it'll make all the difference.
For example, professional insurance, particularly professional indemnity insurance, is a complicated beast. When it comes to protecting your livelihood you’ll want to get it right. Speaking to an independent, specialist broker is your best bet.
In the meantime, conducting a simple risk evaluation of your own is a good starting point.
Basics of business risk management
Here's what you need to do:
Identify. Separate your business operations into what you do, where you do it, who you do it with and what you use to do it. Each one of these areas carries a financial risk of some kind (some more onerous than others). Your task is to pinpoint those risks.
It could be anything: your professional service, your employees, even an iffy backdoor lock. Think about the risks specific to your business.
Quantify. Once you’ve laid out your business and highlighted what could go wrong, you need to think about a worst-case scenario in each of those areas.
What would it cost, for example, to replace all your office equipment? How much money would you lose if it snowed so much you couldn’t open for three days? How would you cope if a client sued you for negligence? Would any of these things cripple your business (permanently or otherwise)?
Get quotes for relevant insurance, add it all up and if it comes to less than your worst-case scenario figure that’s your decision made. Simple.
Mitigate. What can you do to lessen the likelihood of a claim? Well, hope for the best and prepare for the worst isn’t a bad place to start.
For example: does your alarm work? Do your clients sign off your work? Do you have a disaster recovery plan? Thinking ahead can make all the difference and if you’re getting quotes, most insurers will take your risk awareness into account when underwriting your policy. That could mean a lower premium.
Measure. Keep one eye on the future. Where do you expect (or hope) to be in a year’s time? Will you have more employees? Or more equipment? Will you still be doing what you do now?
Keep track of changes to your business and make sure you update your insurance as you go. Getting your policy in place is step one. Step two is making sure it still covers you.
This might seem like a pain but it does make sound business sense. And when you’re done, even if you don’t get insurance to cover everything, at least you’ll know what to expect. Forewarned is forearmed after all...

Portland Fire & Rescue was dispatched to a possible residential fire in the Kenton Neighborhood of North Portland. Crews arrived to have light smoke pushing out of one side of the house but did not observe any active fire at the time of arrival. There were reports from dispatch that there was a possibility of a resident remaining on the inside of the structure. Command directed the crew to perform an immediate search while coordinating with the remainder of the responder to perform fire suppression activities. The fire, mainly in the contents of the home and not the structure, was extinguished quickly as the occupant was located and removed from the home. It was determined that the resident had not survived the environment on the inside of the home prior to removal and was a confirmed fire fatality on scene.
At 6:36 AM fire crews were dispatched to a residential fire in the 2400 block of N Schofield. The first crew to arrive was a truck company and was assigned to search the structure for the possible missing resident while the following companies, primarily fire engines, were assigned firefighting tasks of establishing a water supply from the fire hydrant to extending hoses into the structure and suppressing the flames. With much on the search and eliminating the fire present, there was a reduced amount of radio traffic on the fire. The predominate message from crews on the interior was the home was filled with heavy clutter with hoarder conditions that were a challenge to the crews searching and advancing hose lines to the upstairs where the fire seemed to be located. In just over 10 minutes after the fire was dispatched to our crews, the fire was reported extinguished, and the victim had been removed from the home.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. Portland Fire would like to thank the dispatchers for their assistance in this emergency incident. Portland Fire & Rescue would like to remind you that smoke alarms save lives. Placement of a working smoke detector in each sleeping area of the home is the best way to ensure that occupants of a home are alerted to an active fire emergency. Take the time today to check that your home smoke detector is operational. | https://www.portlandoregon.gov/fire/news/read.cfm?id=493137 | 431 |
If you feel you have encountered a fraudulent job posting, the following resources may be used for reporting:
The fraud is often furthered by these job seekers being told to pay hundreds of dollars to outfit their home with a remote office setup (only to learn their payment was made to fraudsters for a job they never actually had with the company they thought they applied for), or to cover what they were told would be licensing fees to be an insurance producer for the company.
Common red flags we have seen associated with this fraudulent fake job posting scheme include the following:
- Any job posting or email correspondence providing a company email contact that is not from the domain “@protective.com” (ex: fraudsters commonly use an email address like “email@example.com”).
- Any job posting where an applicant primarily corresponds with someone claiming to be with Human Resources but only communicating with emails or Google Chat.
- After telling an applicant a job offer is made, wanting to email you an attachment (said to be a payroll check) that you must print from your own printer and deposit to your bank via mobile app.
- Job posting or follow-up email correspondence containing typos and grammatical errors.
Authentic job postings for Protective are posted to https://www.protective.com/about-us/careers/.
Red flags for these scams include:
- Receiving an unsolicited call that claims to be from our company and asks you for personal identifying information to provide a policy quote.
- A phone call's area code is the same as your phone number's area code, but not an area code from one of Protective's office locations (i.e. Birmingham, Alabama, St. Louis, Missouri, and Cincinnati, Ohio). Scammers often use phone apps to create new phone numbers in the same area code as their victims to make their calls appear to be a locally dialed.
- Caller appears to be reading from a script or is an automated telemarketer/robo-caller.
- Caller hangs up upon your questioning the legitimacy of the call.
Frequently asked questions about insurance fraud
Insurance fraud is a crime in which either an insurance company or agent is defrauded by an individual seeking to obtain a policy or collect money for which they are not entitled, or where an insurance company’s customer is defrauded (which may result in a financial loss to the customer, the insurance company, or both).
Protective Life’s Special Investigative Unit (SIU) is responsible for investigating suspected fraud and coordinating with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies (to include the fraud divisions of state departments of insurance) in the prosecution of insurance fraud offenders. Additionally, our SIU works closely within the company to detect, prevent, and resolve fraudulent activities targeting Protective Life and its customers.

- Requesting private account information
- Requesting access to your computers
- Pressure to act immediately or with time-limited deal
- Indicating a change in account status you did not request
- Emails that don’t look quite right, including a sender you don’t recognize, suspicious email addresses or misspellings

Frequently Asked Questions
An Auto Accident Doctor is a medical professional who specializes in treating patients who have been injured in auto accidents. In a no-fault case, they play a crucial role in providing medical treatment and documentation to support the patient’s claim.
A no-fault case is a type of auto accident claim where the injured party seeks compensation from their own insurance company rather than from the other driver’s insurance company. This is because in no-fault states, drivers are required to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance which covers their own medical expenses, regardless of who was at fault for the accident.
You can see any doctor for treatment after an auto accident, but it is recommended to see an Auto Accident Doctor who is experienced in diagnosing and treating auto accident injuries. They can provide the necessary documentation and expert testimony to support your no-fault case.
You can find an Auto Accident Doctor who specializes in treating patients for no-fault cases by asking for recommendations from your primary care physician or insurance company, searching online for providers in your area, or contacting a personal injury attorney for a referral.
Your health insurance may cover treatment with an Auto Accident Doctor for a no-fault case, but it depends on your individual policy. In most cases, your PIP insurance will cover the cost of medical treatment for injuries sustained in an auto accident.
An Auto Accident Doctor may provide a range of treatments for patients involved in no-fault cases, including chiropractic care, physical therapy, pain management, and other specialized treatments tailored to the patient’s specific injuries. They may also provide documentation and expert testimony to support the patient’s no-fault case.

Life insurance is not related to old age. It is a necessary element in our lives and is meant for each one of us. With the help of a life insurance policy, you can safeguard the future of your children, after your death. No one would like to leave his or her children helpless and financially instable. An adequate life insurance policy ensures that your children are taken care off, once you are not there to provide monetary assistance to them. On the other hand, life insurance costs are usually high and paying premiums can, sometimes, be a daunting task. A major reason why a lot of people refrain from purchasing life insurance policy is because of its high price and heavy premiums. However, you can actually cut down costs on your life insurance policy and premiums by taking a few wise steps.
Keep On Looking For Companies
Owning a life insurance policy does not stop you from looking for companies with better rates. In fact, there are thousands of people who keep on searching for the ideal policy and switch to it, as soon as they find it. Due to the easy access to the Internet, you can find a multitude of information regarding the quotes of the companies and policy features. Hence, you can easily search for different companies with lower quotes in your leisure time.
Opt For Term Life Insurance
If you really want to reduce spending on your life policy, then choose term life insurance. If you already have permanent life insurance, immediately replace it around Pasar Tomohon with term life insurance. Term life insurance rates are cheaper than permanent policy plans, because term policies only provide monetary benefits to your heirs upon your death. Since you don’t get any benefits for the rest of your life, term life insurance is relatively affordable. In addition, you are not charged an agent commission in term life insurance. | http://www.outrageavenue.com/save-life-insurance-costs | 365 |
