A deductible is the amount of that the insured must pay out of pocket before an insurer will pay any expenses. Typically, a general rule is: the higher the deductible, the lower the premium, and viceversa. Depending on the policy, the deductible may apply per covered incident, or per year. A deductible will apply to claims arising from damage to or loss of the policy holder’s property, whether this damage/loss is caused byaccidents for which the holder is responsible, vandalism/theft or “acts of God”.
For example, a person might have an auto insurance policy with a 0 deductible on collision coverage. If this person were in an accident that did 0 worth of damage to the car, then the insurance company would pay him or her 0. The insured is responsible for the first 0. Insurance deductibles can also differ depending on the cause of the claim.
As an example the typical auto insurance policy contains two deductible amounts one for comprehensive claims and one for collision claims.
Comprehensive and Collision claims
It is a notorious fact that most car accidents happen due to collisions. This is in itself an adequate cause why you should consider purchasing Collision Insurance, a type of Auto Insurance that, less the insurance deductible, covers the damages of the car resulting from a collision with another car or object. Collision coverage reimburses you, less the deductible, for the repairs or replacement costs of your car after an accident. Comprehensive Auto Insurance includes almost everything that might go wrong with your vehicle except collision. This is the reason why Comprehensive plans are sometimes called “Other than Collision” insurance coverage.
Deductible reimbursement policies
There are also policies available called deductible reimbursement policies. A deductible reimbursement or zero deductible policy works as a supplemental coverage to your primary auto, boat or homeowners insurance policy and will reimburse the insured the entire deductible amount in case of a paid claim. A deductible reimbursement or zero deductible policy is usually a good thing to have as most insurance claims are small or partial losses and the deductible limit has been put in place by the insurance companies to prevent the insured from filing these type of claims. The insurance company saves money by not having to administer and pay claims that otherwise would have been covered under the insured’s primary insurance policy. The premium for a deductible reimbursement policy is usually much less than trying to get the same coverage with primary insurer. Check with your insurance agent for details.

On occasion, for whatever reason, the need to have a vehicle shipped will arise. Maybe it is a high value vehicle that is being sold and a person does not want to risk driving or maybe an overseas trip. Whatever the reason, it is important to insure the vehicle.
Cargo companies specializing in vehicle shipping know what they are doing and understand the value placed on the vehicle. Most times they have no problems getting your cargo from one place to the other. Unfortunately, there are some situations that may arise that are beyond human control, the possibilities for a loss are existent. Before shipping a vehicle, it is important to check with the shipping company to determine that they have enough coverage in the event a total loss should occur.
Any shipping company that has agreed to transport cargo of any kind is required to carry liability insurance as well as cargo coverage. This allows for the owner of the cargo to file a claim should there be a loss involved en route to the destination. Each state has its own minimums and each carrier has its own policies as well. Because of this, it is important to speak to the specific shipping company about their insurance coverage. The law is on the consumer’s side and consumers have rights that they be aware of if ever in the situation of dealing with a claim or a loss in this situation.
There are a few key notes to remember when dealing with a shipping company. First, always ask the shipping company for a copy of their insurance declarations. They should have no problem providing this if they are in fact a reputable company with coverage. Verify that the coverage they have provided is accurate and current. By doing this, a consumer can be sure if the coverage limits will cover their vehicle in the unfortunate event of a loss.
Finally, it is important for consumers to consider protecting their cargo to the best extent possible. It is important to remember not to leave any valuables in the vehicle. Also, to take dated photos before the car is delivered for shipping and document the condition of the vehicle. Finally, the consumer should take out an additional policy that is stated value for anything over Kelly Blue Book, as most insurance carriers will only pay out fair market value for a lost vehicle.

How can you tell that you really need home insurance? Well, if you’re not planning any illegal things like insurance scam (which is definitely not a good idea, especially these days), it will be really hard to predict any situation when you will actually need some insurance coverage for protecting your house. Until, of course something bad happens and you will need the money to pay for the damage. However, there’s a range of circumstances that make an insurance policy for your house a really welcome if not necessary addition to your paperwork portfolio.
The following are the most typical events that will make having home insurance a necessity unless you have a lot of money and can rebuild your home from scratch without worrying about finances.
Fire
Fire is definitely one of the most hazardous of perils that can happen to a house. It has the potential to completely destroy an entire building within minutes and there’s a very little chance that any of your personal belongings will survive it. Fire is very hard to control and it can happen any time, with most cases of fire being reported when the home owner is actually away. It can be a spark from a malfunctioning home appliance or a cigarette butt that lights up a pile of dry leaves that you’ve left in your front yard. And the moment you arrive home you find nothing but a pile of ashes instead of all of your belongings. A standard homeowners insurance policy provides protection against any forms of fire.
Flood
Living in an area with no large bodies of water nearby doesn’t mean that you don’t have the risk of having flood damage in your house. Things like heavy showers, bad water pipes and even a broken washing machine can flood your house and damage a large part of your belongings beyond repair and restore. Sometimes, the damage from flood can be much worse that that caused by fire. Standard homeowners insurance policies do not carry coverage against flood damage and you will have to purchase such a policy as a weaver to your current one or buy it separately.
Earthquake
Earthquakes are certainly the hardest to predict and hardest to protect against of all natural disasters. An earthquake can destroy an entire town or city within just a few minutes, turning even the most durable of constructions into a pile of dust. And the best thing you can do during an earthquake is to stay away from your house that can collapse over you. Standard insurance policies include coverage against earthquakes, too. However, in order to make sure you will also be paid for the lost belongings you should have an inventory of all the items (especially valuables and electronics) with detailed information on every piece that can further be used for reimbursing the cost of all the lost belongings.
There are other circumstances that can also be a threat to your house and you want to have coverage against them. Having tornado insurance in an area where they are common is definitely a must. However, keep in mind that no one is imposing you to have home insurance, It’s a decision choice that can save you a lot of money and time in case something bad happens to your house.

This article draws on a big court case in Indianapolis with AIG disputing a life policy worth $15 million. Under normal circumstances, insurers pay out whenever they receive the death certificate. They may privately grumble the claim has come earlier than expected, but their public face will offer sympathies for the loss and pay. Indeed, if any company gets a reputation as a bad payer, their business is likely to dry up fast. With PR and marketing being everything in persuading people to part with their money, insurers usually pay out without comment. Why so different in this case? Well, the first issue is the circumstances of the death. This was a confident older woman aged 74 and she was found fully-clothed, drowned in her bath. The homicide unit has investigated and, despite the fact her family said she always preferred to take a shower, it has ruled her death accidental. No matter that the world might find the circumstances “suspicious”, particularly because the holder of the life policy admitted to being the last one to see her alive, there is no ongoing investigation. This has left the insurance company to dispute the payment.
Four years ago, this active lady was a director responsible for marketing. The company and fellow director insured her life for $15 million. This is perfectly proper as a part of succession planning. It gives the company the cash to buy out the shares and cover losses while a replacement key person is found. Except there is some suspicion the appointment of this lady as a director was only done to justify getting the insurance coverage. The rules are reasonably straightforward.
If you go to a race track, you can bet which horses will win and place. You pay and if your luck (and skill) give you the right result, the bookmaker pays. You could ask the bookmaker whether it is possible to bet on the day, week, month or year someone will die. If such a bet was accepted, you would have a direct financial incentive to arrange for this stranger’s death at the appropriate time. To insure someone’s life requires you have some direct interest in the individual, usually as a relative or someone upon whom you depend. That is why this company insured a marketing director and not an office cleaner. That position fits into the expectation of the insurer and justifies the big pay out.
There are about one hundred cases pending before the courts around the US alleging that investors have been insuring the lives of strangers. Because this is the equivalent of wagering or betting, the insurers are refusing to pay. In many of these cases, there are paper justifications for the policies, e.g. to insure a borrower. It will be very interesting to see how these cases are resolved. As for the ordinary case, you can confidently get life insurance quotes for any member of your family or other relatives. If someone acts as a carer, this will justify a higher pay-out to cover the cost of a replacement. But, if you are potentially insuring someone not related to you and not acting in some protective role towards you, disclose this fact to the life insurance company before confirming the policy. Only by complete honesty at the outset can you protect everyone’s interests in the long run.
