Top Tips for Saving on Home Insurance this Winter

via gettyimages

With winter fast approaching, home owners are flocking to secure insurance for their properties. It’s no hidden fact that catastrophes can cause unexpected damage to all areas of your home – and insurance is one of the only ways to cover yourself against unexpected damage.

Sure, there are lots of things you can do to reduce the chance of the weather getting the better of your home, but sometimes, as unfortunate as it is, Mother Nature can’t be helped nor stopped. However, as long as you do your best, you can reduce the likelihood of having to claim, thus keeping your premium low for years to come.

It’s a known fact that winter can inflict damage on your house in more ways than one – whether it be burglaries due to the lower light levels, or cold weather wreaking havoc with your heating system or piping. This often results in unpredictability across the board, which in turn results in changes to the overall price of Home Insurance. This is mainly due to different companies having to pay out varying amounts for an array of different claims. Insurance companies will often base premiums on their experience of previous policies resulting in claims around the winter months. Subsequently, the pricing will increase or decrease to make sure that company involved would lose as little money as possible if they end up paying out, whilst remaining competitive.

Why Home Insurance Prices Rise in Winter

One of the main reasons for Home Insurance prices rising around this time of year, is burglaries, which have been known to increase by 20% in winter months. This can mainly be attributed to the fact that an earlier sunset, which brings longer nights for all of us, means that burglars have the added cover of darkness on their side. Known tactics of a burglar’s mind-set include such methods as forcing a window frame open, rather than smashing the window itself, to make as little noise as possible, and leave little physical damage, while still gaining entry. Despite a usual lack of evidence or excessive damage, the average burglary around winter-time is reported to cost £1,746, which is more than enough of a hole in anybody’s budget, especially with Christmas and New Year in close proximity.

However, October the 1st marks the start of National Home Security Month, which is a nation-wide campaign looking at the numerous characteristics of home security and how you can apply these to your own home. When looking at keeping the price of your home insurance down, it’s definitely not any recognised or certified method that you can announce to your insurer, however it can provide the peace of mind that we could all do with.

The other contributing factor to the rise in Home Insurance prices is the winter weather itself. Dropping temperatures, increased wind speeds, and higher chance of rainfall all mix together for some treacherous conditions – even from your home’s standpoint. Some of the most common issues that occur include blockage of drains and gutters by leaves and twigs that then freeze over, or burst pipes due to the changing temperatures caused by the hot water flowing through.

Check Your Roof to Prepare For the Future

Something interesting to take a closer look at is your roof. Checking any flashing and tiles for any cracks or holes, or even missing tiles altogether is essential. If any water damage is caused due to these damaged or missing tiles and flashes, it could hurt you in the long run, as in many cases, it has been known for insurance companies to decline a claim made for water damage, based on the neglect of the house’s roof by the owner. It’s not a huge job to check, so it’s definitely on the list of things worth doing, just to be sure.

Flooding is one of those unstoppable occurrences in life that you just have to accept is happening. Not a great deal can stop a flood – unless you have some form of purpose-built defence in effect – and the damage they can cause is nothing short of catastrophic. If you end up in a situation where you have no home insurance, and a flood hits, there isn’t a lot that can be done for your home or your possessions. As you can appreciate, floods don’t just invade your home, they damage anything on the ground, whether it be furniture, carpets, electrical appliances, plug sockets, ornaments, toys, you name it. With the option to cover specific items and contents on your home insurance, regardless how sentimental, it makes no sense not to have everything covered for your own sake.

Don’t Forget – Protect Your Garden Too

With the usual list of “ways to make your home winter-proof” comes some weird and wonderful methods of protecting even your garden from the winter’s wrath. Using cat litter as grit to clear your paths and drive of ice has become a popular approach, as salt can kill your plants and foliage over time, whereas cat litter does not. Even if you have a fish pond, you can easily protect it when the pond freezes over. All you have to do is simply place a tennis ball in it, and whenever the pond freezes over, simply pull the tennis ball out, and it will create a hole for oxygen to circulate back in to the pond, thus ensuring the survival of your fish.

All of the aforementioned aspects should help prevent any need for you to make a claim on your home insurance, and in the long run, that should keep your price down, as any company you’re with shall see that you are doing your best to not let winter get the better of you and your home. However, it is not a definite guarantee, as all insurance companies are different in the way that they rate certain areas of a policy.

Laser Blast and Rampaging Robot Damage Not Covered: Insuring the Cars of the Future

Edward Oberg, currently on hiatus from the insurance game, now spends his time reading pulp genre novels, shaking his head in dismay at the state of movies these days, haunting yard sales and hunting for the monster brook trout that delights in mocking him. He has vowed to defy the accepted wisdom regarding boring insurance reps by being extremely interesting.

The 1989 classic (it’s classic to me at least) action/sci-fi/comedy Back to the Future II introduced its audience to a wild, sci-fi, semi-dystopic cyberpunk-y future in which businessmen wear many ties at once, the Japanese pretty much run the United States, holographic sharks leap at you from movie marquees, bio-enhancing implants are available to the local bully, hovering skateboards abound and, most importantly, hovering cars are the most common form of transportation. (And they run on garbage-fueled cold-fusion reactors.) So when will all of this come to pass, according to the movie’s creators? In the year… *dramatic pause* …2015.

I remember watching that when it was released and deciding that while most of it was probably not going to happen, we’d probably at least have a few flying cars zipping around by then. Well, there are only a couple of years left until 2015 and we have yet to see them. Disappointing as that is, there’s a fairly good reason for it- all the flying cars even prototyped up have been extremely expensive and profoundly impractical, plus our infrastructure couldn’t really support them. However, that infrastructure is more than capable of supporting smarter and more efficient cars- it already is supporting them actually.

So the good news is: while Back to the Future II’s flying cars won’t be hitting your local showroom in the near future, your vehicular sci-fi fantasy need not be totally abandoned. The viability of self-driven, super-smart automated smart cars like those from say… Minority Report are looking like a certainty. And as our cars evolve, so must our strategies for insuring them.

Car Brains: Getting Better All the Time

It’s hard to know exactly how exactly increasing automation in automobiles will influence rates. Based on the current trends of computer and technology enhancement in cars it’s tempting to suggest that buyers could just rely on an insurance rate-lowering metric that says: the more computerized features a vehicle comes equipped with, the less your insurance will cost. Safety innovations (in rough order of increasing technological advancement) like seatbelts, crumple-zone improvement and reinforcement, anti-lock brakes, traction control, airbags and so on were all controversial (and some still are) to varying degrees. Now they’re all pretty much must-have standards that come as an insurance-rate reducing safety package.

Newer automotive automation features like Electronic Stability Control (ESC) seem to bear that trend out. And more so than the other features mentioned, ESC is also one step closer to the eventual goal of actually automated driving. Using a computer program to detect and predict loss of control, slides and skids, ESC automatically engages brakes optimally and individually; some versions also reduce engine power. Importantly, it does so while still allowing the driver some control.

They’ve proved to be very effective- according to data compiled by The Hartford, ESC systems lower the risk of a single car fatal accident by half and slash the risk of rollover by as much as 80%. It’s no surprise that this is the case. Considering that the vast majority of all vehicle accidents are directly attributable to human error, it would seem like the higher an auto’s CPU-to-you ratio is, the lower the risk. Computers don’t get distracted, sleepy, or intoxicated, they never feel compelled to text, eat or answer the phone while driving, they don’t get road rage, etc. They can also compute, analyze and react to certain types of data way faster than people can.

So Automation is the Answer and All of Our Super-Safe Robot Cars Have Super-Low Insurance Rates, Right?

Well… yes and no. Here’s the problem: as mentioned, your car’s brain can blow you out of the water when it comes to reaction time or the analysis and the incorporation of data like speed, the tiny details of braking in relation to road conditions, the precise distance between you and the vehicles around you and so on. But, there’s one area in which your super-smart robot car is a totally stupid idiot compared to you: interpreting and reacting to human beings.

There’s a fair chance that every time you’re behind the wheel you unconsciously and casually observe, analyze, interpret and react to human interaction stuff that would elude even the most advanced computer. For example- if you pull up to a four way stop slightly after the driver to your left and you see that driver looking at you and tentatively pulling forward slightly, chances are you would ease off the gas and let them go. They’re cautiously signaling to you that they are indeed planning to go first. However, if you glance over and that driver’s stopped completely and staring off into space, chances are you’ll go.

Beyond the subtle, nearly infinite inter-personal communication cues we give each other, all other humans on the road are still wild cards. Even the best automated vehicle probably isn’t going to notice the erratic, intoxicated, unstable or aggressive behavior of another driver some distance away or follow that intuition gained from years of human interaction which tells you to back off, avoid, slow down, speed up or make whatever other choice because a computer’s working with logic and data, not mess humanity.

What it boils down to is this- the safest roads will be those traveled entirely by automated vehicles that are all following the same rules and all make the best, most-logical driving decisions based on the data at hand. While technological advancement is going to make the roads safer, until all vehicles are automated giving a human being some measure of control is probably going to be a necessity and you don’t necessarily want to be the only person being driven by a computer on a person-filled highway. However, any technology that improves a human driving/avoidance/reaction function rather than replacing it is going to be a hit with the insurance companies and your rates will reflect that.

How Exactly to Determine Just How Much Life-insurance you want

Some folks believe that life-insurance is merely for the affluent. But it's the operating person of small means that truly must consider what a sudden death along with a lack of profit can mean to those left out. This composition can allow you to really see the advantages of insurance, in an entirely new light.  If you're between the ages of 20 to 50, term life-insurance could be the easiest & most powerful kind of insurance. Cash value insurance actually is logical for individuals’ people that are affluent and on age 50. A cash-value strategy may be tempting; however it will not be just as powerful.

Attempt to lead a wholesome lifestyle. The fitter you are the cheaper your life-insurance will be just as insurers assume you will live more. Remember, you'll be anticipated to pay a higher premium on a life-insurance policy for whatever shortens your life-expectancy, for instance being overweight, smoking, taking specific drug, etc.

When you're choosing your life-insurance policy, it's important to discover just how much coverage you truly want. The quantity of money which will probably be required after your passing will probably be unique to your own family's scenario, which means you're the sole one who is able to compute the required coverage. Do not let a salesperson shove you into more protection than you truly want.

Read all the fine-print of the plan before you sign in the line. Understand what reductions, exclusions, inclusions, and some other fine print is contained to the arrangement. You might find that there's a no payment clause for pre-existing disorders. Careful reading can help you become certain your partner will receive the money that they will want.  Inform your representative when you are in possession of a speculative occupation or take part in extreme hobbies. Even though you'll need to pay higher rates should you participate in speculative activities, it is best to be honest with your insurance carrier. If the business finds out that you are participating in such actions from a person besides you, you might lose your qualification for protection. Additionally, not revealing this info could be thought to be fraud, which carries big penalties.

When considering life-insurance consider whether or not you want your coverage to make you cash, or only be there in the occurrence of the departure. There is actually life insurance which also doubles as annuities. That makes it possible to possess a good deal of insurance as soon as your children are minors and a good deal of retirement savings for you, as you age.

When PPI Sellers Break the Rule of Selling, You Can Claim Your Premium Payments and Interest Back

Over the past several years, banks, moneylenders, and insurance providers have been caught to be mis-selling Payment Protection Insurance to their customer, which eventually caused them a lot of trouble. Complaints and reclaim cases have started flooding their offices because consumers were extremely unhappy with how they were treated.



If you happen to have had any form of credit agreement recently with any known financial institution, you were most likely sold this product, too. PPI was meant to cover your monthly repayments in cases where you are unable to pay due to sickness, accident, or redundancy. However, you may not be aware that you have it alongside your debt, or you were tricked into paying for it without knowing what it entails. Visit www.ppiclaimsadvice.co for more information.

Before claiming your money back, you may need to check first whether you really have PPI on your account. Have a look for any Payment Protection Insurance reference on your loan or credit related paperwork, including your statements and payment receipts. A policy certificate should also have been sent out to you, containing the terms and conditions, as soon as it was sold.
If you have lost your documents, request for a copy from your lender. The credit bureau can also check your credit rating record to see the financial institutions you have dealt with if you forgot who your lender was. However, you are more likely to get a hold of this information if your account is not any older than six years since it began. These offices are mandated by the law to keep these records for as long as that, or within six years following the credit’s payment in full. So whatever paperwork you have gathered should be sufficient to back up your PPI claim.

As soon as you have gathered your documents, you can get the ball rolling. Write a letter of intent to your lender and tell them that you wish to claim your PPI payments back and possibly be compensated for the trouble it brought you, interests incurred included. When stating your reasons, you can refer to any of the situations below to establish why you were mis-sold the policy:

• You did not realise until later you have PPI because it was automatically added to your account and opt-out was not made clear.
• You were led to believe that it gives you better chances of a higher loan amount or credit limit if you took out PPI alongside the finance agreement.
• The lender strongly urged you to take out PPI even without clearly stating demands and needs provision.
• You were not informed of limitations and exclusions on the terms such as age limit, residency requirement, pre-existing medical conditions, employment status, and the likes.
• The lender did not talk to you about the cooling-off period which entitles you to cancel at no cost.
• They did not properly inform you of the total cost of PPI or what you will be charged off in the future.
   
As soon as your lender acknowledges receipt of your letter, they will run a thorough review of the case. Within the next six to eight weeks, they’ll come up with a decision and let you know of it. You may follow up with them if you feel the need to. If by any chance you have not heard from them after such time, or you become unhappy with their decision, you can file a complaint against your lender to the Ombudsman.

The Financial Ombudsman Services will independently make further enquiries and review your case. They may also ask you to send in copies of correspondence between you and your lender, and other related paperwork. The FOS will then decide whether to uphold your PPI claim or not. If they decide to rule in your favour, your premium payments will be reimbursed and the bank may also be required to pay all the interest that came with it over time.

When An Accident Happens, Who Should You Call?

Car accidents happen every day, and when they happen to you, you should know who to call. Of course you should first call for an ambulance or medical attention if someone is hurt. The next two calls should be to report the accident to the police and your auto insurance company.

After all of those calls are made, you can call a family member or friend to let them know what happened. In all accident cases, whether they are just a minor fender bender or they are much more serious, you absolutely should get the police and your car insurance company involved.



Even if the accident was not your fault, it is the best practice to be proactive and report the accident to both the police and your auto insurance carrier.

Call the police and get an accident report

When an officer comes out to the scene of an accident, he or she will prepare an official report that details the circumstances of the accident. It will include basic information such as the time, location and cause of the accident. Both parties will be given a chance to tell their side of the story and the officer will decide if one party or the other violated a traffic law.

Having documentation that comes from an official and impartial third party, can support a claim that you file with your car insurance company. It can also stop the other party from claiming that you were at fault when the officer does an assessment of the accident scene.

Call your auto insurance agent and report the accident

Once you make the call and report an accident to your car insurance company, a claim can be filed. You may need to get your car towed to a body shop and you may need to rent a car.

Once made aware of the accident, your car insurance carrier can get involved in the case. They can send someone out to look at your car and write an estimate so you will have money to repair your vehicle.

Informing your auto insurance company gives you a chance to give your version of how the accident occurred. If you check your auto policy, you will see that when you signed for coverage, you were also agreeing to report all accidents. It will not look good if you do not report an accident and your insurance company finds out about the accident from the police or the other party's insurance carrier.

You can be nice, but don't be stupid

It happens all of the time. Someone runs into you and either has no insurance or does not want to go through insurance because it will raise their rates. Despite your good nature, you should tell them you are sorry and must report the accident to your car insurance company.

If they say "please don't report this and that they will pay for your repairs," politely decline the offer. You do not know that person and you do not know if their word is good.

Insurance is there to protect you. A small scratch or a little dent can cost hundreds, or even thousands of dollars to fix. Don't bear the risk of having to go into your own pocket to have your car fixed.

Do the right thing, be responsible and report any accident to both the police and your insurance company. Whether or not it is your fault does not matter. When you get the proper people involved, your case almost always goes better.

Insurance for Commercial Vans

While insurance is essential for any kind of business, a business owner often needs to make decisions on what to insure and to what extent. Insurance for shop space, for storage space, during transit, etc. are all decisions that needs to be made. Considering this, the ultimate delivery of goods and services is often done via a commercial van. Many small businesses have commercial vans that are the linchpin of the business.



Be it any kind of business - plumbers, florists, undertakers or carpenters, a business van is how they reach the place of business. In such a case, what is to be done if something goes wrong with the van? There are plenty of things that could go wrong. The van could be stolen, it could be in an accident or it could even get damaged in a storm. If this happens, the business owner would be left bereft without a vehicle to take him to the customers and space to carry the equipment of his trade. Thus van insurance cover is pretty essential for taking care of problems, if they arise.

However, as stated above, no one wants to over insure or take excessively expensive insurance or unwanted cover for their business wants. A business owner might even feel tempted to go for the cheapest insurance if they have several vans or do not use a van frequently. However, because of the laws governing vehicles, all vehicles have to be insured, so why not insure them appropriately?

Van insurance quotes cover pretty much all the van models manufactured, and the insurance company will have their own standard premiums for each model. As a standard, a big van with a powerful engine will obviously cost more in premiums than a small van. The reason for this is that insurance companies have to take into account the costs of repair and replacement. Sometimes insurance companies would refuse to insure vans if the business owner makes a frequent habit of attaching large and heavy trailers to the van.

Insurances come in very diverse forms, but it is important to go for a comprehensive coverage after assessing the risks the business owner is exposed to. While it is always good to try and find the cheapest deals, it is not a wise decision to do so at the cost of coverage. Things that are essential to be covered are tools and equipment of the trade, audio and electronic systems, keys, locks, alarms, plus of course, any overall damage to the car. Covers against theft, fire, damage to van must also be covered as these are events whose likelihood of occurrence is pretty high.

There is often a discount provided for insuring many vans in one cover and the business owner can take advantage of this to reduce premium costs. Ultimately, what is important is knowing and understanding the various insurance coverages available for a particular make of commercial van, and making the appropriate decisions to take the coverage that suits the business best. Once this is done, the business owner may choose to find the cheapest deal offering what is required.

Know what is required and then shop for it!

Underlining the Importance of Getting Insurance

In today’s elaborate financial world, insurance has established its place as one of the most important financial products you can find. The process of safeguarding the interests of different groups of people from financial uncertainties has inspired the blossoming of the insurance industry. Having an insurance policy is not only considered useful in these modern times, but also necessary for individuals as well as businesses. But why is insurance given such gravity?

The Benefits of Having an Insurance Policy

Even without giving regard to any specific kind of insurance, there are benefits that stand to be gained by buying into a policy.

Security - It is the one characteristic that is consistent with all insurance policies. They all grant a sense of security that any unprecedented events in the future such as theft and damage, loss of income, or even loss of life, will not bring any kind of financial hardship. In the context of mortgages and loans, insurance, such as payment protection insurance, safeguards against default payments, should the borrower become unable to fulfill his repayment obligations.

Peace of Mind - It is a benefit accrued from the sense of security that insurance affords a policy holder. Without the need to worry about any uncertainties in the future, a person is able to shift their focus towards productivity in either work, or their personal lives. You cannot really put a price on being able to rest easier at night, which is why insurance receives such favor amongst the financial elite.

Self-Dependency - In many ways, insurance helps you become more independent. With insurance, you service the premiums when you are in good financial health. And when that takes a turn for the worse, the policy takes up whatever responsibilities you had, and as such, you are able to continue with life without looking up to anyone. In the context of payment protection insurance, when you buy a loan protection policy for your car or your mortgage, you are able to keep them, should you lose your source of income. This way, you can focus on re-entering the employment world, as all of your repayments will still be made timely.

Removes the need for Readjustment - With insurance, you don’t have to make do with a lower standard of life, should you encounter an eventuality that reduces your income potential. This holds true for extent payment protection insurance, as an accepted PPI claim will help you maintain your kind of lifestyle.

Credit Protection - Maintaining a good credit is essential in today’s world. Without a good credit history, you are locked away from good financial opportunities. With payment protection insurance, you are able to maintain your high credit as all your repayments will still be made on time. Your credibility will therefore not be affected, and your financial health will stay in check.

Financial Discipline - Insurance premiums have to be repaid in a timely fashion, with only a few days of grace being allowed. This forceful compulsion means you have to exercise some financial responsibility so that all your payments are made in time. In the beginning it might be hard to balance your financial math to accommodate these payments, but eventually, the habit catches on. Beneath all this, there is a sense of discipline that you are forced to develop, especially if you are able to stay up to date with the payments.  It is a quality that can pour over into your larger financial life, if you let it.

Insurance is an integral part of our financial universe today. Not all insurance products boast the same level of importance, but each of them serves a useful purpose, and that needs to be appreciated.

Understanding the Different Benefits of Unemployment Insurance Covers

This is the unemployed insurance system formed by federal state, which helps people who have lost their jobs by providing them some part of their wages when they are looking for job. The Unemployment Insurance program was formulated in the year 1935 in the form of social insurance. It is the contribution made to the system by the people who are working for an income support, in the unfortunate event that they lose their current job.

Temporary Federal Programs and Govt. Aid

Temporary federal programs, which are implemented at the time of recession, are funded fully by the federal government. Many states in U.S were literally affected during2007-2008 recession and these federal programs helped them to solve some of their problems. This system also helps consumers at the time of fall in economy and provides dollars for families to spend.

What is Unemployment Insurance?

Unemployment insurance is nothing but a temporary income, which comes to your aid when you suddenly lose your job, and don’t have any money to pay for your monthly bills. This type of insurance is given to deserving workers, who lose their job for no fault. To receive such benefits, you must be willing to work, ready to work, and able to work.

State Regulations Vary from State to State

In the state of New York, employers pay tax, which funds unemployment insurance. The amount is not deducted from their salary; instead they pay tax. If you qualify for the benefits, then the Department of Labor decides on this.

If you’re in Chicago, Texas, California or Vancouver, things may be different, because each state has its own set of laws in this regard.

To generalize, the eligible workers, who lose job for no fault of theirs, the Federal State provides this benefit through Unemployment Insurance Program. This means the individual should be eligible as per the state law and has to meet all other eligibility criteria. If you’re in Texas, you should seek help from a reputed Austin insurance agency in this regard.

Eligibility Criteria

1. The person should fulfill the criteria of the state law with respect to wages or duration of work during the established period of time, which is known as base period.

2. You should be unemployed for no faults of your own as per the state law and should meet all the requirements of federal law.

The purpose of Unemployment Insurance is to provide temporary financial support to workers who are eligible under the State Law.Every state offers different unemployment insurance program, which are with the guidelines of the state law The benefit amount, duration of benefit provided, and the eligibility criteria, which are available, are provided by the state law under which the claims can be established.

The amount of benefit provided through this program depends upon the funds contributed by the employers as tax. The employers are obliged to pay only a small amount towards this program.

Noteworthy Benefits

The benefits under this program depend upon the individual’s earning over the 52-week period up to the maximum amount, which is decided by the state. In most of the states, the benefit is paid maximum up to 26 months.The benefits may be extended for few weeks only in case of high unemployment or during tough financial times of recession, and uncertainty. There are states like Texas, which provide additional benefits for a specific purpose from separate state funded programs.

These benefits are subject to the law of federal income tax and should be reported to federal income tax. If you do not want to contribute to the funds of Unemployment Insurance agency, you can opt out of it, but it’s highly recommended to contribute regularly, to accumulate contingency funds for sudden job losses.

Hannah, a member of Unemployment Insurance Program, often writes about the benefits of unemployment insurance programs and government financial support programs, which have helped countless people during tough times of recession.

Car Insurance: Choose the Best Deductible for You

A car insurance deductible is the sum in damages that the customer has to cover using personal resources before the insurer steps in to cover the remainder. For example, if a customer has a $200 deductible and sustains $2,000 in damages to the insured car, that customer has to spend $200 on repairs while the insurer covers the remaining $1,800. Most customers can find car insurance policies attached to a range of possible deductibles. Choosing the right deductible can help them secure enough protection for their cars at reasonable prices.

Comparing High and Low Deductibles

Higher deductibles mean poorer coverage. However, insurance policies attached to higher deductibles also charge smaller insurance premiums. This is because the premiums must cover the insurer's expected loss on the policies. Since higher deductibles reduce the insurer's loss in case accidents occur, it can still earn the same profit even if it charges smaller premiums. In contrast, the premiums charged on lower-deductible policies are more expensive to cover the increased expense to the insurer.

In short, the choice between high and low deductibles comes down to the customer's risk tolerance. Customers can reduce their premiums by choosing higher deductibles, but must risk spending more of their personal resources in the event of accidents.

Factors in Choosing the Right Car Insurance Deductible

Customers interested in choosing the right deductible should first calculate the unexpected expense that their finances can tolerate. Points of particular interest include the portion of their household budgets that can be freed up in case of emergencies, the total funds available to them on short notice, and the cost of those funds. Customers should remember that the total funds available to them on short notice include both their savings and their access to short-term credit, but excludes less liquid investments. For example, $4,000 invested into bonds is not available on short notice because it takes time to sell bonds at prices approaching their fair value. Based on these financial assessments, policies attached to deductibles that cannot be covered in the event of accidents should be disregarded outright. As a general rule, individuals possessing more flexible budgets, higher savings, and access to credit at reasonable interest rates are better prepared to handle high deductibles than their counterparts.

Once the unaffordable policies have been eliminated, customers should focus on estimating their chances of getting into accidents. Examples of relevant factors include their driving habits, their driving patterns, and the time that they spend on the road. Individuals who drive aggressively, fail to follow the rules of the road, and spend more time on the road are more likely to get into accidents. As a result, these individuals should purchase lower deductible policies because they need more protection than their less accident-prone counterparts. In contrast, those same counterparts can afford to choose higher deductibles because their chances of needing the insurance are so much smaller.

Conclusion

To sum up, customers should choose deductibles that are both affordable and suited to their circumstances. Although it might be tempting to choose the highest deductibles possible to reduce premiums, those who do so might end up regretting it should an accident occur.

Climate Science Prediction: How Updated Estimates Will Impact Homeowners Insurance Plans

Are global warming estimates too conservative? The scientific community has based global warming estimates on hard science, but because we have little hard data on previous examples of global warming episodes, they cannot truly predict the effects of global warming. In other words we may be able to predict the rate at which the earth is heating up within a few degrees centigrade, but we cannot truly predict what effect this will have on global conditions - particularly the weather.

If you want a recent example of just how little we can predict the effects of global warming, consider Hurricane Sandy that hit the east coast in October 2012. While it was traveling across water, it was regarded as being the largest hurricane in history. Even though hurricane Sandy brought New York to a standstill -- it was not as deadly as hurricane Katrina in 2005, primarily because the hurricane was moving so slowly that people had plenty of warning and places such as Coney Island were evacuated days in advance.

Two decades of scientific reports seem to have consistently underestimated the intensity of climate change and its rate. Even countries such as the United Kingdom, which has very mild weather when compared with the US, have experienced unprecedented flooding. The head of the climate analysis section, Kevin Trenberth, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research said, "We're underestimating the fact that climate change is rearing its head."

So how does this affect your home insurance plans? What you must first understand is that as official sources begin to align their future predictions of the damage caused by global warming, with the data they collect every time a new storm occurs - the price of for home insurance will go up. This is because insurance companies will have to raise the cost of their premiums to cover the higher rate of insurance claims that are going to be submitted in the coming years.

Global warming and the potential damage it is going to cause, is going to create a number of changes in the home insurance markets. This is why companies such as InsuranceTown.com offer free insurance quotes, so that consumers need not be caught up in the ensuing anarchy by paying for their insurance quotes.

Let us take home insurance quotes for flooding as an example. In 2007, an IPCC report concluded that the Arctic wouldn't lose its summer ice until the year 2070, but recent data collected from the area shows that we might lose the Arctic's summer ice in just 20 years' time. As you can imagine, this is going to have a very large effect on the insurance premiums of some areas of the US that are already prone to flooding.

Scientists who study climate change have released conservative estimates with regards to the rise in sea level. For example, they claimed that sea levels would rise 2 millimeters per year, however, between the years 1993 through to the year 2006, sea levels rose by 3.30 millimeters per year. This means that areas which are not prone to flooding are going to start experiencing floods, which will affect the prices and scope of home insurance coverage offered by insurance companies throughout the country.

Ensuring the success of your holiday home venture

With an increasing number of people opting for British staycations, a holiday home might be a great investment - especially if it is situated in one of the country's favourite tourist destinations.

If you have decided to buy a property or convert a second home for this purpose, there are naturally many factors to consider; including the decor, market and how much to charge, to name but a few.

Ultimately though, for your holiday home venture to be a success, just two basic elements need to be fulfilled: meeting your guests' expectations and your own peace of mind.

1) Meeting your guests' expectations

Your obligations as a holiday home owner start with the advertisement: you must make sure that your website and any other marketing material provide true representations of the actual property and its location. Include as many photographs as possible and a detailed description which includes features like steep, narrow staircases or uneven floors, so that people with mobility problems or young children are aware. To avoid disappointment, make clear which groups your property/ holiday is suitable for, as it's unlikely your home will be able to accommodate all. 

You are obliged to keep the property clean and in good running order, with appliances and furnishings that meet legal standards - which is as much for your own good as it is your guests'. Replace worn items and paint tired-looking rooms, as this will also make the property more appealing.

Naturally, it is essential that your property is cleaned in-between arrivals, so you'll need to schedule in enough time between departures and arrivals to do so. After all, how many times have you been away only to find your accommodation is dirty? How despondent were you? Don't let your guests' experience this.

Exceeding expectations is in the detail. Leave a welcome pack which explains how the heating/oven/washing machine works, provides local information and suggests things to see. Put out fresh towels, replace toiletries; maybe even leave a bottle of something bubbly as a nice touch. Respect your guests' privacy by maintaining your distance, but leave your contact details in case of an emergency.

Remember these points and your guests should leave happy, hopefully recommending you to their friends.

2) Your peace of mind
Of course you hope your guests enjoy their stay, but most holiday home owners can't be happy until they know that their property is safe, respected and most importantly, protected. Therefore, obtaining comprehensive holiday home insurance could help you sleep more soundly at night. What should you look for, not simply in a policy, but in an insurer, too?

To ensure your property, house contents and garden are adequately covered against accident and incident, it's essential that you seek out an insurance partner who will not only listen to your individual requirements, but provide you with the right product. This will mean that if the unexpected happens, your investment is soundly protected.

When selecting an insurer, it's a good idea to choose a company that is based in the same region as your holiday home; a partner that possesses local knowledge of the area and is easily accessible - which are all valuable assets. You would additionally want a policy which can be tailored to your specific requirements, as a one-size-fits-all insurance approach simply won't do.

Developing and maintaining a relationship with your holiday home insurer is important, as they will be able to provide you with advice, guidance and inform you of any regulatory amendments. This will help ensure that your operation is safe and legally compliant.

Ideally, the company's insurance experts would physically inspect your holiday home. That way, you can be sure that every aspect of the building is taken into account and is reflected in your insurance policy - providing peace of mind.

Ultimately, your insurer should instill you with the confidence to let your holiday home happily, enabling you to then meet your obligations. If this can be achieved, there is no reason your venture shouldn't be a success.

Health Insurers Profit In Last Financial Year

Over the last 16 years rebates for physiotherapists, dentists and optometrists have dropped by 20% and now cover less than 50% of health costs. Health funds’ profits from ancillary cover, however, increased to $1.1-billion in the last financial year.

In 1996, health insurance covered 57% of fees for services like optometry and dentistry but by 2011 the figure had dwindled to 49%. Physio had a 60% rebate in 1996 but has now also dropped to 49%. Insurers also benefitted from $5.15-billion in subsidies from the government and now people over 30 and those considered to be high-earners are being forced into taking healthcare policies out. Despite rebates decreasing, insurers are topping their profits on an annual basis and consumers are being forced to pay more.

Since 2000 the industry’s for-profit health funds have increased from 12.5% to 70% and premiums are worth more than the premiums that are being paid out to cover ancillary services.

While the market becomes easier for health insurers to profit from, healthcare professionals are being reminded how it is much more challenging and ethically questionable for them to carve out avenues to drive business. The role of social media in the healthcare industry has also fallen under the spotlight recently, as the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) leaked a consultation paper on social media policy before the date of its highly publicised pubic launch. Contributors to the #hcsmanz twitter group, and Healthcare Communications and Social Media in Australia and New Zealand have voiced their disapproval at the content of the report, stating that it focuses too much on the negative aspects of the social media phenomenon.

AHPRA’s policy was drafted in response to demand from practitioners requesting guidelines on social media conduct from national boards. Unfortunately the report, which was apparently not the final draft, was released into Twitter prior to it being signed off and made publicly available. The focus of the report, that has got the social communities up in arms, is the focus of the report on social media’s potential to transgress laws pertaining to the health practitioner code of conduct and Advertising Guidelines.

AHPRA has been accused of neglecting the positives of the social media platforms and their potential for improving service delivery and involving the wider public in matters like health policy creation, research and service development.

The National Law for advertising health services is very restrictive and AHPRA has taken a conservative interpretation in light of the advertising opportunities on offer through social media. The laws pertain to any practitioners who are registered under National Law, their employers and anyone else who provides services through a registered health practitioner. Any person who advertises a health service on a social media platform is at risk of transgressing the Advertising Law.  Health practitioners who are found guilty of contravening the law could face losing their registration.

As a guideline practitioners must ensure that any content they post does not breach their professional mandate, does not transgress any privacy and confidentiality clauses, provides information that is informed and unbiased, ensure that no unsubstantiated claims are made and does not make use of any kind of testimonial. The laws prevent healthcare professionals from taking part in the reforms by advertising themselves as offering high levels of medical care. However, healthcare companies have been able to benefit directly from the competition that was generated in the market as people vied to make a health insurance comparison, before the means testing deadline. With insurance companies boasting exorbitant profits, it appears both the consumer and the practitioner are paying higher prices and the corporates are raking in the profits.
