Auto insurance 2015

What is auto insurance?

Auto insurance protects you against financial loss if you have an accident. It is a contract between you and the insurance company. You agree to pay the premium and the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as defined in your policy. Auto insurance provides property, liability and medical coverage:

• Property coverage pays for damage to or theft of your car.
• Liability coverage pays for your legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property damage.
• Medical coverage pays for the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes lost wages and funeral expenses.

An auto insurance policy is comprised of six different kinds of coverage. Most states require you to buy some, but not all, of these coverages. If you're financing a car, your lender may also have requirements. Most auto policies are for six months to a year. Your insurance company should notify you by mail when it’s time to renew the policy and to pay your premium.

The tenant was represented in-house. KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT is a non-traded Real Estate Investment Trust which closed its initial public offering on Nov. 20, 2012, according to its website.

Fire Insurance

A fire insurance is a contract under which the insurer in return for a consideration (premium) agrees to indemnify the insured for the financial loss which the latter may suffer due to destruction of or damage to property or goods, caused by fire, during a specified period. The contract specifies the maximum amount , agreed to by the parties at the time of the contract, which the insured can claim in case of loss. This amount is not , however , the measure of the loss. The loss can be ascertained only after the fire has occurred. The insurer is liable to make good the actual amount of loss not exceeding the maximum amount fixed under the policy.A fire insurance policy cannot be assigned without the permission of the insurer because the insured must have insurable interest in the property at the time of contract as well as at the time of loss. The insurable interest in goods may arise out on account of (i) ownership, (ii) possession, or (iii) contract. A person with a limited interest in a property or goods may insure them to cover not only his own interest but also the interest of others in them. Under fire insurance, the following persons have insurable interest in the subject matter:-

• Owner


• Mortgagee


• Pawnee


• Pawn broker


• Official receiver or assignee in insolvency proceedings


• Warehouse keeper in the goods of customer


• A person in lawful possession e.g. common carrier, wharfinger, commission agent.

The term 'fire' is used in its popular and literal sense and means a fire which has 'broken bounds'. 'Fire' which is used for domestic or manufacturing purposes is not fire as long as it is confined within usual limits. In the fire insurance policy, 'Fire' means the production of light and heat by combustion or burning. Thus, fire, must result from actual ignition and the resulting loss must be proximately caused by such ignition. The phrase 'loss or damage by fire' also includes the loss or damage caused by efforts to extinguish fire.

The types of losses covered by fire insurance are:-

• Goods spoiled or property damaged by water used to extinguish the fire.


• Pulling down of adjacent premises by the fire brigade in order to prevent the progress of flame.


• Breakage of goods in the process of their removal from the building where fire is raging e.g. damage caused by throwing furniture out of window.


• Wages paid to persons employed for extinguishing fire.

The types of losses not covered by a fire insurance policy are:-

• loss due to fire caused by earthquake, invasion, act of foreign enemy, hostilities or war, civil strife, riots, mutiny, martial law, military rising or rebellion or insurrection.


• loss caused by subterranean (underground) fire.


• loss caused by burning of property by order of any public authority.


• loss by theft during or after the occurrence of fire.


• loss or damage to property caused by its own fermentation or spontaneous combustion e.g. exploding of a bomb due to an inherent defect in it.


• loss or damage by lightening or explosion is not covered unless these cause actual ignition which spread into fire.

A claim for loss by fire must satisfy the following conditions:-

• The loss must be caused by actual fire or ignition and not just by high temperature.


• The proximate cause of loss should be fire.


• The loss or damage must relate to subject matter of policy.


• The ignition must be either of the goods or of the premises where goods are kept.


• The fire must be accidental, not intentional. If the fire is caused through a malicious or deliberate act of the insured or his agents, the insurer will not be liable for the loss.

Types of Fire Insurance Policies:-

• Specific policy:- is a policy which covers the loss up to a specific amount which is less than the real value of the property. The actual value of the property is not taken into consideration while determining the amount of indemnity. Such a policy is not subject to 'average clause'. 'Average clause' is a clause by which the insured is called upon to bear a portion of the loss himself. The main object of the clause is to check under-insurance, to encourage full insurance and to impress upon the property owners to get their property accurately valued before insurance. If the insurer has inserted an average clause, the policy is known as "Average Policy".


• Comprehensive policy:- is also known as 'all in one' policy and covers risks like fire, theft, burglary, third party risks, etc. It may also cover loss of profits during the period the business remains closed due to fire.


• Valued policy:- is a departure from the contract of indemnity. Under it the insured can recover a fixed amount agreed to at the time the policy is taken. In the event of loss, only the fixed amount is payable, irrespective of the actual amount of loss.


• Floating policy:- is a policy which covers loss by fire caused to property belonging to the same person but located at different places under a single sum and for one premium. Such a policy might cover goods lying in two warehouses at two different locations. This policy is always subject to 'average clause'.
• Replacement or Re-instatement policy:- is a policy in which the insurer inserts a re-instatement clause, whereby he undertakes to pay the cost of replacement of the property damaged or destroyed by fire. Thus, he may re-instate or replace the property instead of paying cash. In such a policy, the insurer has to select one of the two alternatives, i.e. either to pay cash or to replace the property, and afterwards he cannot change to the other option.

Most civilians do not understand how challenging it is to locate low-cost car insurance if you serve in the armed forces, because your situation is so different. However, many companies do recognize your selfless efforts and provide ways to assist you. Depending on your current status, you could save hundreds every year, just by making the proper inquiry. Deal with Providers Who Offer Military Discounts The first and most obvious tip is to deal directly with auto insurance providers who offer military discounts. This may seem much too simple, but the reality is there are virtually thousands of car insurance companies around today.

For example, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners recommends that you work with an auto insurance company that lets you put your coverage on hold. The majority of car insurance companies will look down on anyone who does not have continued coverage; they consider this a high-risk. Many will not investigate the reason behind your lack of coverage and just assume you chose to cancel your service. It does not seem fair, especially when someone in the military actually keeps the country safe. Unfortunately, it happens. In addition, this is not something a civilian would require. Nevertheless, because people in the military often receive deployment orders, which could come at any time, you will probably need this kind of option. You should have the opportunity to reduce your auto insurance coverage to the most basic level or even cancel your service altogether, until you return.

Phishing for info, and military insurance

The Scam Squad received information from a concerned resident about a notification to renew information on the Do-Not-Call list.
There needs to be clarification so that you are not part of this phishing scam. Once you are on this list, you are on until you notify the organization that you wish to have your name removed. No need to renew.

Once again, the fraudsters are phishing for your personal information; hang up the phone or delete the email.

While discussing “do not call,” information has been received about three area codes that you should ignore if they come up on your caller ID. You will receive a recorded message on your phone telling you that some important matter regarding a family member needs your attention. AT&T and Snopes verify that this is a scam. Do not call back area codes 809, 284 or 876. Instead, call a relative and inquire as to the welfare of other family members. Remember to tell them that you received a call from a suspected scammer. They should be made aware of the fraudster’s trick to have you call a number that will charge you by the minute, keeping you on the line as long as possible to incur a large charge to your phone bill.

Don't call back

As previously reported, never call back an unknown phone number, such as one that rang briefly and did not leave a message. This can happen on your cell phone as well as your land line. Calling back the unknown number will add charges to your phone bill. The phone company does not screen a business to see if it is legitimate and will drop the scammer only if there are enough complaints. Ask yourself: If it is so important, shouldn't they leave a message or call back?

The Scam Squad received a warning from a reliable retired military source. Apparently, the caller knew his name and that his secondary insurance is TRICARE (veterans insurance). He was told of many offers for medical equipment that he was entitled to due to his military service. He immediately recognized the ruse and hung up. He asked that we warn other retired military members to recognize this phishing expedition for what it is: a ploy to get more information! It may come as a phone call or an email. The link that you are requested to respond to might begin with ru---Russia! Another foreign country that wants your military retirement dollars may try to “spoof” it (change it to their initial) now that you are able to recognize the sender.

Insurance Monitoring Methods

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) uses the following methods to monitor insurance of Virginia registered vehicles.

• Electronic Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Reporting is the cornerstone of all monitoring methods. The motor vehicle Code of Virginia § 46.2-706.1 requires insurance companies authorized or licensed to do business in Virginia to furnish liability insurance information to DMV electronically. This information is required when insurance policies are canceled, new policies are written and when there are additions to existing polices for motor vehicles registered in Virginia.
• Insurance monitoring also occurs through the Suspected Uninsured Accident. This process allows a driver, vehicle owner or a representative to voluntarily file an accident report (FR200) with DMV and as a part of the report, to indicate there is reason to believe the other vehicle involved in the accident was uninsured. A request for insurance information is sent by DMV to the other vehicle owner specified in the report. If the other vehicle owner fails to respond or is found to have no insurance, an order of suspension is issued to the owner. The vehicle owner or representative filing the accident report may request DMV to provide them with the insurance information obtained.
• A third monitoring method, the Law Enforcement Notification is initiated when police officers require owners to provide insurance information to DMV. Drivers are issued a form (FR422A) requesting insurance information at roadside checks. DMV issues an order of suspension to vehicle owners who are found uninsured. In addition to the State Police, a total of 108 local law enforcement agencies participate with DMV in the Law Enforcement Notification process.
• The Police Accident Reports (form FR300P) process is another method of monitoring insurance. It utilizes police crash reports to identify potentially uninsured individuals. The crash reports are reviewed to determine if a need exists to request insurance information. If it is determined a need exists, insurance information is requested from the owner. If the owner fails to respond to the request or if the owner does not have insurance, an order of suspension is issued to the owner.

Millionaire Story insurance

Welcome to the Eventual Millionaire Podcast. I’m Jaime Tardy and today we have Ronco Johnson on the show. Ronco is the President of L.R. Johnson & Associates and they’re a full service insurance and financial consulting firm. He’s also a member of the Million Dollar Round Table which is the top 2 percent of insurance groups and firms and not only that, he’s the top of the table which I had never heard of before. He’s in a 0.5 percent of the world of insurance people and I think that’s huge. The other thing is he also runs the Ronco Johnson Foundation, which is dedicated to providing financial literacy to economically disadvantaged adults and youth and I am so excited to have him on the show today. Thanks so much for coming on today, Ronco. RONCO JOHNSON: Jaime, thank you so much for having me. JAIME TARDY: Top of the table is amazing. First, before we even get into the background, what does that mean and how did you even get there? RJ: Well the Million Dollar Round Table is known in our industry as the MDRT. It recognizes the top insurance professionals and financial service providers over 76 countries. It’s a unique situation. I’m really proud of the opportunity to be a member for multiple years now but achieving the top of the table is a little bit different. It recognizes less than the top 1 percent of insurance professionals in the world and once a year we get together and we’re able to share some ideas, concepts, strategies of the most successful people in this industry. That allows us to come back home, share those ideas with our clients, our fans, friends and family and help them have a better and more secure life, as it pertains to their financial plans.

Find an Insurance Lawyer or Law Firm by State

Insurance enables people and companies to reduce the risk of suffering a catastrophic financial loss. Insurance attorneys offer a variety of services to both individuals and small businesses. For example, paying a small health insurance premium protects you in the event you are in an accident or diagnosed with a health condition that requires expensive treatment. Individual consumers may commonly purchase health insurance, automobile insurance, homeowner's insurance and/or renter's insurance. Businesses need a variety of policies to protect both their property and the company in the event of a lawsuit. Your insurance lawyer can review your existing policies and advise you on additional policies or coverage that may be necessary to protect you or your company from potential risks. Insurance law firms can also help you challenge insurance claims that have been denied in "bad faith," or in violation of the terms and conditions of the policy. And insurance lawyers can represent you if you are sued for something that is covered by an existing insurance policy.

Primary Care Direct Model: 'Neither Insurance nor Health Plan'

A new model of health care delivery ­­ direct primary care ­­ could be déjà vu for some Californians, a retreat to the past when insurance wasn't a part of the health care equation. Direct primary care emphasizes prevention and a reduction in the use of "downstream services" ­­ treating symptoms rather than the problems themselves. The new approach involves monthly payments for primary care ­­ similar to the way insurance covers health care, but without the insurance. Instead of filing claims through an insurer, participants ­­ individuals and employers ­­ pay a monthly membership fee directly to their health care providers. "Direct primary care is simply an atypical payment arrangement between patient and doctor for primary care services rendered," said Michael McClelland, an attorney with McClelland Advocacy in Sacramento. "It is neither health insurance nor a health plan and is not marketed as such." McClelland, former chief prosecutor for the state Department of Managed Health Care who now is running his own law firm, said some states are skeptical about the direct primary care model because it might place too much risk on physicians. The California Legislature earlier this year rejected a bill to establish a statewide framework for the direct pay model. McClelland also said in some states, the direct practice model might be equated to concierge medicine, a model in which patients also pay monthly or annual fees for increased access to their providers. Concierge medicine, also known as boutique or retainer­based medicine, comes in a variety of packaging ­­ with and without insurance, with and without pervisit payments ­­ just as direct primary care models do. The most significant differences, proponents say, are that direct primary care puts more emphasis on family physicians instead of specialists and generally costs less than most concierge offerings

You’ve Come a Long Way… But Do You Have Enough Life Insurance? Celebrate Women’s History Month by Financially Protecting Your Family

Women Carry 31 Percent Less Life Insurance than Their Male Counterparts, Says I.I.I.
Whether or not they hold down a paying job, many women contribute to the economic well-being of their family in important ways—from taking care of household tasks to acting as the primary care giver for children and aging parents. But these contributions are too often left unprotected by life insurance, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I).
A national poll by wholesaleinsurance.net, an industry news and information resource, finds 43 percent of adult women have no life insurance. And among those who are insured, many are underinsured, carrying roughly a quarter of the coverage necessary for their needs. Women now comprise 57 percent of the U.S. labor force, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics study, yet they carry 31 percent less life insurance than their male counterparts.

THE ARMS STORY INCREASING EFFICIENCY FOR OUR INSURANCE PARTNERS

A STREAMLINED SYSTEM Once a claim is filed and a rental reservation is created through ARMS, the system automatically transmits the information to the local Enterprise branch—eliminating the need for the adjuster to make phone calls or transfer paperwork. Enterprise then reaches out to the customer to coordinate the rental. From there, insurance adjusters can quickly and easily monitor the repair status of a customer’s vehicle, which often leads to a shorter rental and the elimination of unnecessary additional rental costs. What’s more, ARMS has the added benefit of drastically reducing the amount of paper involved in the insurance rental process. THE PROGRAM CONTINUES It may seem counterintuitive for a rental car company to create a system that leads to fewer rental days. But we view it to be consistent with our sustainable approach to business. By putting their policyholders back into their own cars faster, we served our insurance customers better and strengthened our reputation as a reliable partner to the insurance industry. To date, Enterprise has invested about $50 million in the development of ARMS, and we continue to invest each year to upgrade and enhance the system to ensure that it evolves with the needs of our partners

Renting a car? Know whether your card adds insurance

You're standing at the car rental counter, anxious to get on your way, but first you have to deal with the representative who's pushing you to sign up for the agency's car rental insurance ''just in case.'' Should you? Most Americans have no idea what to do when offered collision damage waiver (CDW), the expensive add-on coverage offered -- often forcefully -- by rental car agents. Given the tricky exclusions listed in the fine print of most credit card policies, chances are, they're even more confused about what their credit cards cover.
