Accidental death and dismemberment insurance

Accidental death and dismemberment insurance

In the event of an accidental death, this insurance will pay benefits in addition to any life insurance held by the client. This is called double indemnity coverage and is often available even when accidental death insurance is merely an add-on to a regular life insurance plan.Some of the covered accidents include traffic accidents, exposure, homicide, falls, heavy equipment accidents, and drowning. Accidental deaths are the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S.as well as in Canada.
Accidental death insurance is not an investment vehicle and thus clients are paying only for sustained protection. Insurance premiums are expected to rise in time. Most policies have to be renewed periodically (with revised terms), although the client's consent with renewal is often implicitly assumed.


Common exclusions

Every insurers maintains a list of events and circumstances that void the insured's entitlement to his or her accidental death benefit. Death by illness, suicide, non-commercial radiation, war injury,and natural causes are generally not covered by AD&D. Similarly, death while under the influence of any non-prescribed drugs or alcohol is most likely exempt from coverage. Overdose with toxic or poisonous substances and injury of an athlete during a professional sporting event may void the right to claim too.
Some insurance carriers will tailor their clients' coverage to include some of the above risks, but every such extension will be accompanied by increased premiums.
Due to these restrictions, the process of claiming the benefit may be relatively lengthy; the deceased client may have to undergo autopsy and the accident may have to be officially investigated before a claim is approved by the insurer.

Shopping for auto insurance? The price you pay for your auto insurance can vary by hundreds of dollars, depending on your driving record, the type of car you have and the insurance company you buy your policy from. Here is a list of things you can do to save money.

Shop Around

Get at least three price quotes. You can call companies directly or access information on the Internet.
Get quotes from different types of insurance companies. Some sell through their own agents. Some sell through independent agents who offer policies from several insurance companies. Other companies sell directly to consumers over the phone or via the Internet. The price may vary depending on the sales method.
But don't shop by price alone. You want a company that answers your questions and handles claims fairly and efficiently. Sources for finding the right kind of company include: word of mouth, i.e. friends, relatives, co-workers; your state insurance department, where you can find consumer complaint ratios by company; and consumer magazines. You can also check the financial health of insurance companies through independent rating companies.

Before you buy a car, compare insurance costs

Your premium is based in part on the car’s sticker price, the cost to repair it, its overall safety record and the likelihood of theft. Many insurers offer discounts for features that reduce the risk of injuries or theft, such as air bags, anti-lock brakes, daytime running lights and anti-theft devices.
For more information on car safety, check the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Cars that are favorite targets for thieves cost more to insure. For more information on car theft, check the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).

Ask for a higher deductable

Your deductible is the amount of money you pay out-of-pocket before your insurance policy kicks in. By requesting higher deductibles, you can lower your costs substantially. For example, increasing your deductible from $200 to $500 could reduce your collision and comprehensive coverage premium by 15 to 30 percent. Going to a $1,000 deductible can save you 40 percent or more. However, keep in mind that you’ll need to have the amount of the deductible on hand should something happen to your car.

Reduce coverage in older cars

Consider dropping collision and/or comprehensive coverage on older cars. It may not be cost-effective to continue insuring cars worth less than 10 times the amount you would pay for coverage. Any claim payment you receive would not substantially exceed your premiums minus the deductible. Claims occur on average only once every 11 or 12 years. Auto dealers and banks can tell you the worth of a car, or you can look it up online at Kelley Blue Book.

Buy your homeowners and auto coverage from the same insurer

Many insurers will give you a discount if you buy two or more types of insurance from them. Also, you may get a reduction if you have more than one vehicle insured with the same company. Some insurers reduce premiums for long-time customers. But shop around carefully; you may still save more money buying from a different insurance company even with the multi-policy discount.

Take advantage of low-mileage discounts

Some companies offer discounts to motorists who drive a lower than average number of miles per year. Low mileage discounts can also apply to drivers who carpool to work.

Ask about group insurance

You may be eligible to get insurance through a group plan from your employer, or through professional, business and alumni groups or other associations. Group plans often provide substantial discounts. Ask your employer, or any groups or clubs of which you are a member, about this option.

Maintain good credit

Your credit rating may affect what you pay for insurance, so monitor it carefully. You can get this information directly from the three major credit-rating agencies (Equifax, Experian, Trans Union). There are also various Web sites that allow you to check your credit rating and provide tips on how to improve your score.

Seek out safe driver discounts

Most insurance companies offer discounts to policyholders who have not had any accidents or moving violations for a number of years. You may also qualify for a cut if you have recently taken a defensive driving course, if you are over 50 and retired, or if there is a young driver on the policy who is a good student, has taken a drivers education course or is away at a college, generally at least 100 miles away.
When you comparison shop, be sure to inquire about discounts for the following (availability will vary according to the state and company):
  • No accidents in 3 years
  • No moving violations in 3 years
  • Drivers over 50 to 55 years of age
  • Driver training course
  • Defensive driving course
  • Student drivers with good grades
  • College students away from home
  • $500 deductible
  • $1,000 deductible
  • Air bags
  • Anti-lock brakes
  • Daytime running lights
  • Anti-theft device
  • Low annual mileage
  • Auto and homeowners coverage with the same company
  • More than one car insured with the same company
  • Long-time customer
But don’t forget that the key to savings is not the discounts but the final price. A company that offers few discounts may still have a lower overall price.

Auto Insurance


auto insurance
Auto Insurance

Auto insurance is protection. When you enter into a contract with an insurance company, they agree to protect you from financial losses resulting from an accident, in exchange for your payment of a premium.
Your policy will define what losses are covered, and the coverage limits. Auto insurance provides coverage for property, medical expenses, and liability.

Property coverage pays if your vehicle is damaged or stolen. Medical coverage pays for treatment of and rehabilitation for injuries. It may also cover lost wages and funeral expenses. Liability coverage pays if you are at fault in an accident that results in property damage or personal injury.

What are the 6 types of auto insurance coverage?

Auto insurance policies contain six types of coverage. States have different requirements for coverage, and a few don’t require it at all. When you finance a vehicle, the lender may also levy certain requirements for coverage. Most auto policies are purchased for periods of six months to one year. You will be notified by your auto insurance company when it’s time to renew your policy, in addition to being billed for the premium.
There are six types of auto insurance coverage. The most basic type is liability coverage. It protects you if you are at fault in an accident. Normally, you are only able to opt for liability only coverage when you own your vehicle outright. If the vehicle is financed, the lender, and the insurance company, will most likely require you to have full coverage. A full coverage policy may include six types of coverage, or some combination thereof.

What is Property Damage Liability?

This pays for damage to someone else’s property caused by your vehicle, whether you are driving it, or someone else is driving it with your permission. In vehicle accidents, this usually means someone else’s car is damaged. But this coverage also includes damage to other types of property, both private and public, like fences, guardrails, telephone poles, homes or other buildings, or any other structures your car may have hit.

What is Bodily Injury Liability?

This covers injuries caused to someone else either by the policyholder, or any other family member included on the policy. It applies whether the injury is caused when you are driving your own vehicle, or you’re driving someone else’s vehicle with their permission.
It’s an important of coverage to include in an auto policy because, in the event of a serious accident, the other party may sue you for damages. Many states have minimum requirement laws for this coverage, but you may want to consider increasing the amount of coverage in your policy to protect your assets in case of litigation.

What is Comprehensive?

With this coverage, you will be reimbursed if your car is stolen, or if it’s damaged by something other than an accident with another vehicle. Natural disasters like tornadoes or earthquakes, hail, falling objects, vandalism, fire, or colliding with animals such as deer or birds can cause damage ranging from a few dings to total loss.
In addition, if your windshield cracks or shatters, comprehensive insurance will cover it. Glass coverage may be provided with or without a deductible, depending on the company. Comprehensive coverage usually carries a deductible of $100 to $300, but it is possible to select a higher deductible, thereby lowering your premium.

What is Collision?

As the name states, this coverage pays if your vehicle is damaged as a result of colliding with another car or object, or if your car flips over. It also pays for damage caused by potholes. If you are at fault in an accident, collision coverage will pay for the cost of repairing your vehicle, minus the deductible. Collision insurance usually carries a deductible of $250 to $1,000, and as with other auto insurance coverages, the higher the deductible, the lower your premium.
If you are not at fault, your collision coverage will still pay to have your car repaired, but you still have to pay the deductible. Your insurance company may try to recoup the cost of repairs from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. If they are able to do so, you will be reimbursed for your deductible.

What is Medical Payments or Personal Injury Protection (PIP)?

If you or any passengers in your vehicle are injured in an accident, PIP will pay for treatment. In some cases, a PIP may extend to further medical costs like rehabilitation, and may also cover other expenses resulting from accident injuries such as lost wages, and even funeral costs.

What is Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage?

If you, or anyone else permitted to drive your vehicle is involved in an accident caused by an uninsured or hit-and-run driver and submit an auto insurance claim, this coverage will reimburse you for damage to your vehicle. It will also cover you if the other driver does not have sufficient insurance coverage to pay for a total loss of your vehicle. This coverage also protects you if you are hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian.

Travel Insurance Opportunities


Are you a frequent traveler and love to visit many new places whenever you get an opportunity?

Travel Insurance Opportunities
Traveling is a great hobby because you not only get new places to see but you also come in contact with new people, new traditions and new culture and in some ways you begin to understand the diversity of that particular place. However, travelers also need to take care of themselves because frequent travelers are often victims of transport mishaps and health problems. In such situations you would always require a travel insurance policy that would keep you in a safe situation all the time. However, travel insurance policy has its own terms and conditions and therefore it is very essential for travelers to read all the terms and conditions before purchasing the policy. Most people never really pay keen attention to the terms and conditions in their travel insurance policy and simply purchase whichever policy is the cheapest but the fact is that they repent at a later stage when they come across any situation that has put them into dire straits. Today, there are many travel websites available on the internet that provides travel insurance policy to people who love traveling new places. Most travel insurance policies come with all technical jargons which are not easily understood by individuals and therefore you need to read all the information twice to understand what exactly is the travel insurance policy all about and what are the terms and conditions under which it can safeguard you. Frequent travelers who have already witnessed all the problems that may occur during traveling go through the entire travel insurance policy papers to know whether the policy covers most of the scenarios which are likely to happen and which are common and can happen to any traveler. When you are traveling to different places you need to understand that health problems are likely to arise because not all places have the same climate and same living conditions and therefore even experienced traveler might fall sick or have some injuries for which travel insurance policy is a must. Hence, when you are going for such policies you need to check what kind of sicknesses and injuries the policy covers because it will be of no use if common injuries and sicknesses are not included in the travel insurance policy that you have selected. If the injury is serious than you may have to admit the patient to the hospital and therefore the insurance policy must have some of the best and major hospitals covered so that you can quickly get the treatment.

9 Reasons To Buy Travel Insurance

Buy Travel Insurance



For years, it was the great unmentionable in the travel transaction: insurance. Travel agents were afraid to bring up the subject of travel insurance for fear of losing the overall deal. It was considered a negative.
Not anymore. Whether it's your trip, your possessions, your luggage, or your health, travel insurance — and most important, the right kind of travel insurance — has become an essential item to pack for smart travelers. And if you don't buy travel insurance — or the right kind — more than your trip could be ruined.
According to the U.S. Travel Insurance Association,about 30 percent of Americans purchase travel insurance, an increase from 10 percent before 9/11. The top three reasons are: peace of mind, protection against the unexpected and concern over losing the financial investment in a trip. Some 70 percent of cruisers buy travel insurance.
While a majority of those who don’t buy travel insurance are familiar with flight and trip cancellation insurance,many people are unaware of travel health insurance, baggage coverage and medical evacuation insurance. Even among travel insurance buyers, only 50 percent were aware of medical evacuation insurance.
There’s yet another kind of insurance that's available to air travelers that the airlines aren't exactly rushing to tell you about. In fact, they actually wish you didn't know about it. It's called excess valuation.
Reasons to buy travel insurance
1. Your flight has been cancelled.
2. Your bags are lost and your medication is in it. You need to have an emergency prescription filled.
3. Your passport and wallet are stolen, and you need emergency cash and a replacement passport.
4. You're involved in an accident and adequate medical treatment is not available. You need medical evacuation.
5. You need to cancel your trip due to illness.
6. Your cruise line, airline or tour operator goes bankrupt. You need your non-refundable expenses covered and to get to your destination.
7. You have a medical emergency in a foreign country.
8. A terrorist incident occurs in the city where you’re planning to visit and you want to cancel your trip.
9. A hurricane forces you to evacuate your resort, hotel or cruise.
