Does Your Insurance Exclude You? Part 2

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 02:00:15 +0000

The length of a holiday can factor in another exclusion. Many travel insurance policies expire after 28 consecutive days per trip unless you pay extra. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that your annual travel insurance will cover you for an unlimited length of time; inform your insurer if you intend to be away longer than 28 days so they can arrange extra cover. The same goes for home insurance; if you are planning on leaving your property unattended for more than 30 consecutive days you must inform your insurer. Many policies include a clause which states you can’t leave your home empty for longer than this. Arrange for a friend or neighbour to stay in your house if you need to take an extended trip.

If you’re an adrenaline junkie, check your insurance policies carefully. If you have travel insurance you may find you can’t claim if you’re injured while on an adventure holiday involving any type of extreme sport; this can include sky-diving, off-piste skiing and bungee jumping among others. Your life insurance could be compromised if you regularly take part in extreme sports on a professional or semi-professional level; activities such as wrestling, boxing and competition martial arts are commonly excluded from cover.

The majority of car insurance providers will not pay up in the event of an accident if you were found not to be wearing your seatbelt. This falls under the category of negligence and can apply if you allowed an uninsured or unlicensed driver behind the wheel of your vehicle. Negligence can also take the form of having your car stolen after leaving the keys in the ignition, or failing to lock up your bike outside a shop and having it stolen. If you lose something due to your own negligence your insurer could refuse to pay, citing you didn’t take ‘reasonable care’ of your belongings.

You may also be refused a payout if you were under the influence of alcohol at the time of an incident. This not only applies to car insurance – drink driving is not just illegal, but can invalidate a claim – but can also mean that if you injure yourself on holiday after an exotic drinking binge you can’t claim for any medical expenses incurred as a result. Home insurance is also affected by alcohol; If you hold an alcohol-fuelled party in your house and anything is damaged or stolen, your insurer may not pay out.

The Importance of Building Insurance

admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 11:24:52 +0000

All lenders insist on Buildings Insurance if any property is secured against a loan. If anything adverse happens to the property (like it being burnt down), the same property can be rebuilt from the proceeds of the insurance claim. And if your property is mortgage free and a similar devastation occurs to it, you will still be protected by the insurance policy and will be able to rebuild your property from the proceeds of your claim.

All Buildings Insurances are taken out so as to have a peace of mind against misfortunes that you hope will never occur. This kind of insurance offers protection against structural damages e.g. roofs, walls, floors, ceilings, windows and doors. The causes of structural damages specified in policies are usually by fire, detonation, burglary or attempted burglary, malicious damage /vandalism, natural calamities like lightning, flooding, storms, earthquakes, subsidence and falling trees etc. Also included in the policies are damages on outdoor properties such as gates, fences and railings.

But do be aware that not all policies cover all the above mentioned potential damages and each insurer will have its own exclusion peculiar to that particular policy. Should you require any specific cover which has not been detailed in the policy then you can obtain one by paying an additional premium.

In the unfortunate event of you not being able to reside in your property until it has been deemed safe and secure for you to live in, you will need to ensure that your Buildings Insurance policy covers you for a suitable alternative accommodation while works are being carried out on your property. Also make sure that your policy covers you for any associated architects’ or surveyor’s fees.

Do You Know The Meaning Of Insurance?

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 13:26:15 +0000

According to Encarta Encyclopedia, Insurance is a contractual arrangement that provides for compensation by an insurer to an insured part if or when a specified set of circumstances occurs. Circumstances in this contest could be death, personally injury, accident, unemployment, loss or damage to property or any other number of instances that can be compensated for financially.

How does the insurance company operate? The insurance company operates by collecting small contributions from many people who are exposed to risks. This money collected is used to settle those who fall victim of such risks. These contributions which the insurance company collects are called premium.

To some individuals, insurance is seen as an investment. But is insurance an investment? No I don’t think that insurance is an investment. Insurance is a way we share our risk with others. It is a way of getting protection to reduce damages associated with some mishaps. No matter how careful one may be, he/she must need one type of insurance or the other.

When you buy insurance, it means that you are sharing your risk with others. Simply, the insurance company is a risk management company that can help anyone to reduce risks associated in day to day activities. Man is vulnerable to dangers and by virtue of this need insurance to help him cope in an unfriendly world.

Another thing you have to know when buying insurance is “insurance policy”. The insurance policy is the rule or guideline of the insurance company. It is the insurance policy that will help you to choose a better option for your insurance needs.

Finally, before you buy insurance, try and understand the policy of the insurance company to avoid paying for services which you may never need. Proper understanding of the insurance policy will help you to reduce the insurance cost.

Make Your Insurance Company Pay

Denied – Underpayment – Harassment

The story is a common one. A house catches fire and the insurance company refuses to pay the claim or offers payment of less than 40% of the cost to repair the damage. The policyholder tells the company about the new flat screen TV in the family room but she no longer has her receipt…since it burned in the fire. Does she wait to repair the damage while fighting with the insurance company or does she give in and agree to sign a settlement for a lower value just so she can move on with her life?

Our need to resolve losses and move on with our lives equals big profits at insurance companies.

What do you do when you insurance company refuses to pay or delays paying a claim…be it auto, home, business or an accident involving your property?

The same question applies when an insurance company pays only a portion of a claim or deliberately undervalues a claim.

When unnecessary delays, undervaluing of claims occurs deliberately or a policyholder is rushed to settlement of a claim, it is called “bad faith.”

In all states, an insurance company is obliged to act with the best interest of the client or policyholder. It does not matter whether you live in Texas or Maine. The legal obligations of an insurance company remain the same. The laws governing specifically when and how such matters are resolved in the courts can vary from state to state. However, the basic tenet governing how an insurance company must operate remains static.

When an insurance company fails to act in a fair and honest way toward its policyholders or is dishonest in any way, “bad faith” is said to have occurred.

Situations in which bad faith can occur vary widely, including auto insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, homeowners insurance, medical malpractice insurance, etc.

Examples of insurance bad faith include but are not limited to:

Delaying payment of claims for an unreasonable length of time

Denying coverage

Denying payment on claims

Failure to investigate a claim in a reasonable manner

Withholding benefits without cause

Underpayment of claims

Undervaluing claims

Unfairly refusing to settle or reimburse claims

Abusive behavior toward policyholders or unreasonable claims processes

Cancellation of insurance policy unjustly

Anyone can bring a civil action against an insurance company when the individual suffers damage due to an insurance company’s behavior. Such claims can be brought against companies for auto, home, business, professional liability, health, life, disability, and other types of insurance.

Health insurance can be a little tricky in that employer provided insurance is limited by Federal laws known as ERISA, the Employment Retirement Income Security Act. In other words, if you get your health insurance through your employer and a claim is denied, your ability to sue that insurance company may be limited. The laws in this area are in a state of constant change so do not assume you cannot sue. Talk to an attorney first.

How does it work?

Insurance companies employ entire departments of people called actuaries. One definition of an insurance actuarial is “An Actuary is responsible for analyzing the possible outcomes of the types of events that could potentially cause policyholders to make claims against their insurance policies.” That about says it all.

It is the job of actuarials to also weigh the likelihood litigation will take place in the case of a loss, the likelihood a policyholder will seek and obtain competent legal counsel, pursue a claim, etc. This is referred to as “risk management,” and while these people do not make decisions regarding claims, they do provide the decision makers in insurance companies with the “odds.”

On the face of it, forcing a policyholder to pursue litigation can make sound economic sense. If the claim is $50,000, the policyholder is going to have to spend a great deal of time getting their money. So, the claim gets lost, delayed, is undervalued all in a ruse to frustrate the policyholder and drive them to agree to settle for an amount much less than the actual value. It works all too often.

Payment of claims, however, is by no means an easy business. Insurance policies are complex and few policyholders carefully review their policies to assess the exclusions, omissions, etc. prior to filing a claim.

On the other hand, lawsuits have proven that ssome of the nation’s biggest insurance companies have denied valid claims in an attempt to boost their bottom lines. These companies have even rewarded employees who would not pay claims, and when all else failed, engaged in outright fraud to avoid paying claims.

Stall. Delay. Fill out more forms. Wait them out!!!

Legal case histories are full of insurance companies routinely delaying claims, knowing full well that many policyholders will simply give up. Some have gone as far as to lock paperwork away in safes. Undoubtedly, the most shameful use of delay tactics has been by long-term care insurers, who often take advantage of their policyholders’ age and ill health.

In the words of one regulator, “the bottom line is that insurance companies make money when they don’t pay claims . . . They’ll do anything to avoid paying, because if they wait long enough, they know the policyholders will die.”

Get Qualified Help!

If you or someone you know is battling with an insurance company over a claim, the best course of action is to find an attorney in your area with trial experience in insurance bad faith. This specialty is unlike all others. It is critical that you ask how many actual insurance bad faith trials the attorney has participated in to assess their experience level. If the number is low, keep looking.

It is easy to claim experience and another thing entirely to have built a career fighting insurance bad faith.

Income Insurance Protection Against Unemployment is Valuable

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 10:46:46 +0000

Income insurance protection against unemployment is an extremely valuable form of protection to have and rely on. With no ones job being safe thought has to be given as to how you would be able to manage if you lost your income. While some individuals rely on savings or benefit from the State to get them by, many times they are let down by the fact that savings run out before you get back to work or find work, and you might not be eligible to claim State benefit.

While there are exclusions that have to be checked with income insurance protection if you go with an ethical standalone provider they add in just a few. You do have to check the terms and conditions of any cover you are comparing along with the cost of the insurance as exclusions vary depending on the provider and premiums vary.

Providers usually offer policies that would pay out an income tax-free after between 30 and 90 continuous days of unemployment or incapacity. Some will backdate the policy to the first day of incapacity of unemployment but you have to check the terms and conditions of the cover to find this out. You would then be able to benefit for between 12 and 24 months again depending on the provider, however after this period of time the policy would then cease. Usually this is ample time to have found another position or to have made a full recovery and be able to go back to work.

You would be able to keep on top of your mortgage repayments with the money you received each month. This would mean that you would not get into arrears with your mortgage and have to worry about finding the money to catch up. If you were not able to catch up on the arrears then you would find the lender taking you to court and this could mean that the lender will repossess your home. You would then have to leave everything you had built up over the years.

Of course your income insurance protection against unemployment will allow you to keep up with other requirements that you have to make each month including any loan or credit card outgoings. Getting behind into debt means that you would at the very least see your credit rating being affected. As all lenders take your credit rating into account when choosing to give you credit or not this means that obtaining credit could be very hard and in the worst case the lender could take you to court. This would mean that you could gain a County Court Judgement against you.

Taking out your income insurance protection against unemployment with a specialist in payment protection is the cheapest way to get your policy. It is also the best way to obtain all the information needed for you to be able to understand what you are taking on. Do not get income payment protection confused with income protection insurance as while both policies are similar, income protection insurance pays out in the long term and does not cover unemployment.
