We spend too much money on our health when we realize that the situation got out of control. But we don’t really want to think …

This is one of the more difficult questions to answer. If you were to ask an insurance agent, the answer would obviously be the largest number he or she thought could be mentioned without you fainting away. For anyone earning commission on a sale, the biggest sale is always the first suggested. So how should you approach your own answer? Well, this is as scientific as crystal ball gazing. You are trying to guess what is going to happen to the amount of your current debts, the actual needs of …

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 …

Owning a green vehicle automatically makes it viable for you to have green car insurance as well. Because all cars are legally required to carry the minimum amount of insurance coverage imposed by each state individually, green cars also need to carry these types of coverage regardless of what their emission levels are. However, with green car insurance it goes a bit beyond the typical coverage against certain types of damage. The environment is getting worse and the need in green vehicles is constantly rising, so does the need in …

As with every group of businesses, there’s an association for the insurance industry. It’s called the Insurance Information Institute. When individual insurers fear adverse publicity, the III usually gets the job of making general announcements. That way, the news comes out with less damage to the member companies. So, for example, when there was flooding because of the melting snow and then the torrential rains, it was left to the III to warn people that the majority of policies do not cover damage caused when sewers back up. That’s not …

It’s a sad fact of life but, when it comes to the causes of accidental damage around the home, one of the most common is fire. There are two main reasons. The first stems from the materials used to build your dream home. The sad reality is there’s a heck of a lot of wood in most modern buildings. It starts with wooden floors and ends with wooden frames to support a pitched roof. Why is there so much stuff that will burn? It comes down to one simple …

When you look around your neighborhoods, it’s hard to find any good news. Friends and neighbors may have lost their jobs or be on short-time. There are foreclosed properties on every street. Shops and businesses have been closing down with increasing frequency. These are the signs of a real recession where unemployment and poverty stalk the land. The cause of all this pain is not hard to find. We have all been living beyond our means. When the banks and credit card companies offered us more money to borrow, we …

One of the more annoying features of the insurance world is its habit of distilling options down to simple sets of letters and then failing to clearly explain what the letters mean. In other words, insurers hide behind jargon and prefer not to explain clearly what you are buying. You are expected to assume the insurer has your interests at heart and pay over your money without a second thought. In many cases it works. Over the years, we have given up the unequal struggle and just say prayers we …

There is a common myth among people who run a business out of their garage – that their homeowner policy will cover all problems. Unfortunately, almost every domestic policy excludes liability for commercial risks. Worse, if you fail to tell your insurance company about the change of use, this gives them the right in law to cancel the policy and not pay out a cent on any claim. This will be so even if what happened would normally have been covered by your policy. It all comes down to a …
