			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world can become too complicated, overwhelming us with choices. When there are so many, how do you decide between them? It all gets rather arbitrary when the differences between the different products and services are so small. But, every now and again, a change does come. Not in reducing the choices, you understand, but in adding a novel idea that might just force change in the particular market. So look at the very conservative world of insurance. Nothing has changed for centuries. You pay your premiums and then have to fight to make a successful claim. But now there&#8217;s a new player in town. Spreading to twenty-seven states on a trial basis comes pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) insurance. Unlike the conventional policy which estimates how many miles a year you are likely to drive, this is real usage insurance. Put simply: the less you drive, the less you pay!</p>
<p>We could all applaud the insurance industry. It&#8217;s finally gone green, caring for the environment by giving price incentives to drive less. That&#8217;s thousands of tons of carbon that stay in your tail pipes. The world will not warm as fast. More importantly, it begins the process of weaning us off oil. We are less beholden to the Middle East states. If we drive less, there will be fewer accidents. That means lower premiums as medical expenses fall and the cost of repairs is less. It all looks good for insurers. We should all be doing this anyway. Using our vehicles less, switching to public transport if we cannot walk or ride a bicycle where we need to go. The manufacturers are pointing the right way too with more miles to the gallon. The price of gas is going up again. Let&#8217;s all drive less and save money.</p>
<p>If you drive less miles at off-peak times and avoid accidents, your premiums will fall. Most companies are offering a small transmitter fitted into your vehicle which transmits information on the time, speed and length of your journeys. In other words, it ties in with your GPS system. It also helps track your vehicle should it be stolen. The others physically inspect your odometer readings. On average, the savings are about 30% off the standard premium. In some cases of ultra low use, State Farm in California is promising a reduction of 45%. So is PAYD the best invention ever? Well, it depends on what you think of allowing the insurers to collect all this information about you. You may save money, but there are privacy issues. The insurers could also decide to increase your rate if they discover you break the speed limits.</p>
<p>When you get your next batch of free <a href="http://www.findinsurersonline.com/">auto insurance</a> quotes, look to see whether you are lucky enough to live in one of the twenty-seven states, look for the option. You may find the savings make some sacrifice in your privacy acceptable. The biggest push is going to be in California where State Farm and the Auto Club of Southern California are rolling out major policies in February 2011. There hasn&#8217;t been all this excitement in the quiet pool of <a href="http://www.findinsurersonline.com/articles/pay-as-you-drive.html">auto insurance </a>since Henry Ford promised to sell colored Model Ts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a new trend coming out of the financial problems faced by states. As it stands, the politics of balancing the budget says you cannot raise taxes so you have to cut public services. If you take the axe to services like the Fire Department or the ambulance service, how will they cover the cost of continuing to provide a service to the local community? Think carefully before you answer. This is the difference between you paying an extra dollar or so in local taxes and having no one come if your house is on fire. Except, of course, without the tax rise, the fire department would send a team and, if you could pay their fees and charges, they would put out the fire. As applied to drivers, let&#8217;s take the New York Fire Department (FDNY) as a glimpse into the future.</p>
<p>The FDNY is proposing to charge drivers for coming to the scene of a crash and cutting the injured out of the wreckage. As it stands, such charges would not be covered in the standard insurance policy. Are we talking small amounts? Well, you judge. For responding to an accident where someone is hurt, the proposed charge is $490. If the vehicle catches fire but no one is injured, the proposed charge is $415. Should the FDNY come and only have to bend the vehicle into shape so it can be towed, this comes in at a more modest $365. Why make these charges? As it stands, the FDNY is having to close twenty of its companies at night. The money is not there to pay the staff. It&#8217;s estimated these charges will bring in at least $1 million per year, given all the likely problems of collection. In fact, FDNY responded to 14,000 crashes last year which would have produced about $5.5 million if the department was able to collect an average of $400 per attendance.</p>
<p>Make no mistake, this is not a unique scheme. There are more than fifty Californian cities with crash-tax laws allowing the local government to recover the cost of responding emergency crews. For example, if you need a helicopter to evacuate you to a hospital in Sacramento, that&#8217;s going to cost you (or your insurance company) $2,275. It&#8217;s spreading across the country to cover the tax shortfall. As the Republicans argue, it should not fall to taxpayers to pay the clean-up costs of accidents they were not involved in. It should always be for the parties to pay for their own rescue. If you choose to drive, you should pick up all the bills.</p>
<p>So, when you start looking round for coverage, check out the laws in the places where you intend to drive. Then look carefully through the <a href="http://www.insursafeco.com/articles/paying-for-rescue.html">auto insurance quotes</a> to see what, if any, rescue charges are included. Put this the other way around. If you are involved in an accident and the local fire department and ambulance service want payment for saving you, will you regret not reading the <a href="http://www.insursafeco.com/">auto insurance quotes</a> more carefully?</p>

<p>Your <a href="http://www.insurancehits.com/life-insurance">life inusrance </a>policy doesn&#8217;t have to just cover you. In fact, you can simplify your life and budget by adding family coverage riders to your life insurance policy. These riders provide affordable coverage for your spouse and children.</p>
<p>Child rider coverage</p>
<p>You can buy <a href="http://www.insurancehits.com/life-insurance/life-insurance-addons/additional-insured-riders.html">life insurance </a>for your children through a child rider on your policy. Generally, the purchase of one child rider will cover all children that you have, including those that you adopt. The rider generally offers $10,000-$20,000 (in increments of $5,000) in insurance coverage for each child and has a low premium expense. The rider is often convertible into individual policies once the children are of age. As you continue to have or adopt children, make sure you contact your insurer and supply them with the names of your children as well as dates of birth and social security numbers.</p>
<p>Spouse rider coverage</p>
<p>If you want to cover your spouse on the same policy you have, you can buy a spouse rider. A spouse rider pays a death benefit if your spouse should die before you do. It is important to understand that if your spouse dies after you die, there is usually no death benefit paid to your spouse&#8217;s beneficiary. In addition, they will have no access to cash value accumulation since the policy and cash values are owned by you, not the spouse. Spouse riders do not always offer the same extent of insurance death benefit as an individual policy would so it is important to make sure that it offers you and your family enough coverage to be financially helpful. Souse riders are generally not convertible into individual policies, unlike child riders. In the event of a divorce, a spouse rider will become invalid but you must still notify your insurer so that they do not continue to charge you the additional premiums.</p>
<p>Remember, every insurance company is different and has their own approach to offering a rider. This article series on riders is meant to give a general overview of options. It is not an exhaustive list of available riders and does not reflect the rules or policies of every insurer. Be sure you read the fine print and fully understand the riders you are thinking of adding to your policy before you commit to them. Remember to also explore the benefits of additional insured riders against the benefit of buying individual policies for your family members.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are shopping for a <a href="http://www.insurancehits.com/health-insurance">health insurance quote</a> one of the things you might consider is a group health insurance policy. But you should know that there are many drawbacks to group health insurance policies that can adversely affect you and your family.</p>
<p>The Difference between Individual and Group Policies</p>
<p>Before you get a health insurance quote you should understand the difference between group and individual health insurance policies. Group health insurance policies are those issued to employer, fraternal or trade groups. They have advantageous rates because there is a distribution of policies to both sick and healthy people. In addition, group insurance policies are not individually underwritten so your individual health problems are not taken into consideration when you buy into a group health insurance plan.</p>
<p>Individual insurance policies are issued to individuals and families. The rates are based on the health history and potential health future of the individuals the policy is issued to. The policy issuance is not dependent on being a member of any particular group. You can be denied coverage if you have certain illnesses unless you live in a state with guaranteed issue policies.</p>
<p>The Drawbacks to Group Health Insurance Policies</p>
<p>You can only keep a group <a href="http://www.insurancehits.com/health-insurance/health-insurance-coverage/is-group-insurance-enough.html">health insurance</a> policy for as long as you are a member of the group. Once you leave the group you may have access to COBRA, which allows you to carry the group insurance coverage up to 36 months after you leave the group. If you get a group policy while you are healthy and then you become chronically ill while you have the policy, you may no longer be able to get your own individual policy.</p>
<p>Additionally, while you may be able to choose between plans in your group&#8217;s benefit profile, there is no guarantee that the group will offer the type of policy or coverage options that you and your family really need. You may be subject to a restrictive set of doctors and treatment centers, may not be able to see doctors that you are used to seeing and may not have certain care options that you are used to getting.</p>
<p>In short, if group health is the only kind of policy you can get due to poor health or financial issues, then it is a good choice. Otherwise, an individual policy may be a better bet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whole (or permanent) life insurance policies are more than meet the eye. Sure they offer a death benefit that caries through the rest of your life as long as you pay your premium and keep the policy in force, but more than that they offer an additional benefit of premiums accruing into something called cash values. These cash values can grow in a few different ways:</p>
<p>   1. They can grow at a fixed rate like in a traditional whole life policy.<br />
   2. They can grow at a variable rate by choosing a sub account to invest them in. Sub accounts in a variable policy may have fixed investments like money markets, they may have stocks, bonds or mutual funds.<br />
   3. They can grow at a variable rate tracking the returns of a specific index-like the S&#038;P 500 or the Dow Jones Industrial Average.</p>
<p>The third kind of growth is seen in an equity indexed <a href="http://www.insurancehits.com/life-insurance">life insurance</a> policy. When you have an equity indexed <a href="http://www.insurancehits.com/life-insurance/life-insurance-addons/equity-indexed-life-insurance.html">life insurance</a> policy, your cash values grow as they would in a variable policy but the sub account you choose is created to mimic the performance of a particular index. If that index goes up, then your cash value will likely go up. But if the index goes down, then so will your cash value.</p>
<p>One of the most important things to remember about an equity indexed life insurance policy is that there is no guarantee that you will earn money. Many illustrations for life insurance will show the great amounts of cash that can be accumulated in an equity indexed life insurance policy, but there is always the chance that the index you choose for your sub account will go down in value and will reduce the cash values you accumulate. The great things about equity indexed life insurance policies, however, is that they often have a floor, or minimum amount that you are guaranteed to gain. While this threshold is often significantly less than the fixed rate of return in a traditional life insurance policy, it at least offers some sort of gain while markets are down. On the other hand, there is also often a ceiling or maximum gain you can experience which may be less than the actual increases experienced by the index that you choose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two completely different forces have combined to produce a perfect storm of fraud in the market for insuring all classes of vehicle. There always has been a section of the criminal community that specialized in all types of crime affecting vehicles. This starts with the simple use of force to steal or jack a vehicle, through slightly more complicated dishonesty to separate people from their vehicles, and into complex frauds designed to extract large sums of money from insurance companies. Local counties and states all have their problems in managing budgets for the police and, although violent crime gets a reasonable level of funding, fraud and &#8220;white collar crime&#8221; is a low priority. When the victims are large corporations, they are expected to look after themselves. The FBI&#8217;s policy does bend more towards funding investigations of fraud, but the results are inconsistent across the US as a whole. Some units are active and have a good prosecution success rate. Others do not try too hard.</p>
<p>Now look at the effects of the recession. Suddenly, black holes have opened in the local and state budgets. It is not only the investigation of crime that has been cut back. Some states are even releasing convicted prisoners because it is too expensive to keep them locked up. With rising unemployment and honest people coming under financial pressure, the temptation to try a little fraud is growing stronger by the day. As more people find themselves unemployed for six months, the results in suspected crimes and frauds is not hard to find.</p>
<p>The first and most obvious tactic is that your vehicle is stolen. When it disappears from outside or near your home address, this is raises a question mark. Then there are the inflated claims. When you have an accident, the body shop agrees to add in a &#8220;little extra&#8221; work and you split the cash. But the real problems come when people start to think bigger. Those who are safety conscious damage two vehicles somewhere quiet and then stage a collision at an intersection. The more aggressive have real accidents with faked injuries. The FBI has recently rolled up a ring of medical clinics and attorneys who were prepared to push insurance claims with fake or exaggerated personal injuries. Life is tough for doctors and lawyers. They too can be tempted.</p>
<p>Why should you care? Because except in the small percentage of cases that are investigated and the fraud discovered, insurance companies pay out. So when you get your next <a href="http://www.car-insurance-4u.com/articles/car-insurance-quotes.html">auto insurance </a>quotes, they will be higher because every state&#8217;s level of fraud is rising fast. The days of <a href="http://www.car-insurance-4u.com/">cheap auto insurance </a>will be gone unless the budgets of the police, state investigators and the FBI are given new priorities. You are the victims of all this fraud through the higher premium rates. You deserve to be protected from this outburst of crime. Even though the budgets for investigation work are under pressure, the amounts being lost are hundred of millions. If the investigators could keep a percentage of any money they recover, this would pay for itself. Since that will not happen, we need everyone to complain to the insurance companies and their state Departments of Insurance. The insurers should routinely report every suspected case of fraud and not simply pay out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a modern society, it is sad to have to protect yourself against litigation. You would always hope people would naturally become more forgiving of mistakes and accept modest compensation for the losses they have suffered. Sadly, the US is one of the most aggressively litigious societies in the world and, for a small business, even a small claim can be the difference between success and bankruptcy. It is not just the value of any award of damages. It is the costs payable to both your own attorney and the attorney on the other side if you lose the case. Although it is an extreme example of the problem, you may remember Pearson v. Chung in which a judge sued his dry cleaner for a lost pair of pants. The amount claimed? Only $54 million. The problem was the $100,000 cost of the defense. Fortunately, public fund-raising covered those costs with the Chung&#8217;s attorney acting pro bono in the appeal hearings. Not every attorney will act without payment. The public does not often rally round to help a small business. That is why you should review your insurance portfolio.</p>
<p>In general terms, almost every business should carry property insurance, e.g. to cover fire damage, general liability to cover third party claims, a reasonable amount of workers&#8217; compensation in case your employees sue you, and Errors and Omissions to protect you against the kind of mistakes you make when following your standard business routines. Suppose, for example, you write down the wrong delivery address and ship the order to the wrong place. Or the software you lovingly craft for your client crashes his PC when uploaded. The number of possibilities are infinite which is why this type of insurance has real benefits. It is so difficult to predict all the different errors and omissions that might occur. But there is one thing of which you can be certain. The majority of your customers will sue. Even though some of these cases will be vexatious and frivolous, your own costs are covered. Fending off these suits keeps you in business and makes the premiums a good investment.</p>
<p>E &#038; O insurance tends to be classed as for &#8220;professionals&#8221; and it is true that lawyers, doctors, accountants and others with professional status depend on this type of insurance in their day-to-day lives. No one can afford to lose a case affecting their reputation. But that is just as true of ordinary small businesses. Everyone depends on their good name to get and keep clients. But the amount you buy will depend on the scale of the risk. <a href="http://www.businessgrowthinsurance.com/insurance.html">Small business insurance</a> must be affordable. To keep it so, review the way your business deals with complaints. Often, a sympathetic ear and immediate action to make good, will defuse the anger and head off the litigation. You should also look at the way you market your goods or services. Avoid anything that looks like a guarantee or warranty. If a customer has false expectations about the quality of what you sell, this will add fuel to the fire. Finally, check all your business processes and operations to reduce the chances of making a mistake. That said, <a href="http://www.businessgrowthinsurance.com/">small business insurance</a> can keep you in business long enough to become a big business. It all depends on giving good service and developing your business model to match your customers&#8217; needs and expectations.</p>
