What state-mandated minimum liability requirements ?

Image
Life Insurance - An uninsured driver is someone who did not have any insurance, had insurance that did not meet state-mandated minimum liability requirements, or whose insurance company denied their claim or was not financially able to pay it.  A hit-and-run driver also counts as uninsured as it relates to bodily injury (UMBI). An underinsured driver is someone who met minimum legal financial responsibility requirements, but did not have payment limits high enough to cover the damage they caused. In these cases, UM or UIM can pay you for your damages. It is important to note that uninsured and underinsured motorist protections are separate, although in many states they can or must be purchased together. A handful of states mandate purchase of UM/UIM, but most do not. If you purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist protection, your UM/UIM payment limits usually must comply with the state minimum but can't exceed your liability limits.  If your state and company allow uninsur...

The Term Full Coverage Generally Means That The Insurance Policy

Image
Life Insurance - The term full coverage generally means that the insurance policy has both liability coverage and coverage for damage to your vehicle. The term full coverage does not mean that everything is covered no matter what happens.You should carry as much liability coverage as you can comfortably afford because damage  insurance claims today are sometimes settled for millions. Liability Insurance pays to someone else for Bodily Injury and/or Property Damage which you may have caused them and for which you may be legally liable. The first two (2) numbers referenced above (100/300) are the policy limits of a potential pay-out to cover your Bodily Injury Liability.  Your insurance company will pay up to $100,000.00 to any one (1) person and no more than a total of $300,000.00 to three (3) or more people who may have sustained a Bodily Injury in the same covered accident. The last number (50) means that your insurance will pay up to $50,000.00 to the owner of any prope...

Collision Coverage Is Designed To Protect Your Vehicle

Image
Life Insurance - Collision Coverage is designed to protect your VEHICLE against loss or damage from a collision . The "ACV- $500.00" part means the most your insurance company will pay to you is the ACV (Actual Cash Value) of your vehicle LESS $500.00. If the cost to repair the covered damage to your vehicle is less than the ACV, your insurance company will pay for the cost of repairs LESS $500.00.  Collision Coverage is typically based upon ACV limitations. However, some insurance companies offer RCV (Replacement Cost Value) Collision Coverage. This means the potential maximum benefit you may collect under this coverage is increased to what it would cost to REPLACE your existing vehicle . . .  NEW! As the potential maximum benefit is greater with RCV Coverage than with ACV, so is the premium higher for RCV Coverage. Nonetheless, we wanted you to know that RCV coverage is probably available to you. We go into greater detail about the distinctions between RCV and ACV coverag...

Towing Insurance Coverage Definition

Image
Life Insurance -   Towing Insurance Coverage Definition .  Towing Coverage is simply that. Your insurance company will reimburse you (or accept direct billing) for the cost of towing the insured vehicle from a place of breakdown to the nearest appropriate service facility.  Most insurance companies have a maximum limit they will pay out on Towing Claims but some companies have virtually no maximum limit, so check this out when you buy your policy. Most insurance companies will only offer Towing and Rental Reimbursement Coverage if the insured vehicle already has Collision and Comprehensive Coverage with that same company.

Earthquake insurance rules are slightly different in California

Image
Life Insurance - Earthquake insurance rules are slightly different in California. There, earthquake insurance is available from private insurers and from the California Earthquake Authority, a privately funded, publicly managed organization.Only 11.9 percent of California homeowners have earthquake insurance from either a private insurance company or CEA, according to the Insurance Information Network of California. Moraga says the average annual premium for a CEA earthquake policy in 2009 was $707. In California, the CEA policy excludes damage to swimming pools, spas, driveways, outbuildings, crystal, chandeliers and numerous other contents specified in the policy, Moraga says. "We always urge homeowners to read their policies and understand what is and what is not covered," he says. Moraga says that CEA policies cover structural damage up to the limit of the standard home insurance policy but limit contents coverage to $5,000 to $15,000 and loss of use coverage for liv...

The Impact Of Insurance

Image
Life Insurance -  The Impact Of Insurance .  The number of people who claim that insurance is something you cannot take a step outside without seem to be equal to the number of people who disregard the opportunities insurance offers and call it a mere waste of money.  On the surface, insurance is something you can do without unless or until you have something to lose. Come to think of it, how many of us don't? Thus, the question is not whether to insure or not, but rather what insurance company and policy to choose. In the situation of loss, you get reimbursement from your insurance company and thank yourself for being wise enough to have purchased insurance. In other words, insurance is there for you to provide financial support to cover your medical, social, personal or other services you might need in case the worst has happened. Insurance allows for protection against possible risks to your life, health, property, etc and compensation for the effects of the insu...

A Little Story of State Farm Insurance

Image
Life Insurance - A Little Story of State Farm Insurance .  This message was left on my voice mail. I continuously called requesting to speak w/the adjuster and Mrs. Dorothy M. but I did not get a call back. "Totally Ignored" no one at State Farm Insurance  was willing to give me insurance  information about the contractor Mr. Rollins and I was told to get in touch with the same person who will not call back in this case Mrs. Dorothy M. I called her office, her direct line, her cell phone and I was given another number to call but NO return of my calls. In November I decided to do my own homework and called a few contractor for estimates to fix the roof, at this time I had the opportunity to get on top of my roof and with the roofer I looked around visualize the actual damage of my roof as we inspected outside and inside of my home. "Mold had set up and the were visible damages in the interior of the house, I even felt the wet boards inside of the house. None of thi...

You can make a claim for this coverage by submitting paperwork documenting your living expenses

Image
Life Insurance - You can make a claim for this coverage by submitting paperwork documenting your living expenses .  If your house is destroyed or otherwise unlivable while repairs are being made, you'll be glad you can tap into your "additional living expenses" (ALE) coverage. This type of coverage won't pay your mortgage, but it will cover the cost of an apartment or hotel. If you are displaced from your house, you can make a claim for this coverage by submitting paperwork documenting your living expenses. The ALE standard for most homeowner insurance policies is a benefit worth 20 percent of your home's replacement value. When you get a home insurance quote, find out if the policy specifies any limitations or exclusions on ALE. Finally, read the exclusions section of your home insurance policy. Understanding what's not going to be covered is just as important as knowing what is - before you ever have to make a claim. In the end, Griffin reminds new homeo...
