Author : Nitin GeorgeOf all the types of insurance available to consumers, renter’s insurance is probably the most overlooked and underrated Like all insurance policies, the buyer must be careful when purchasing and using their policy Here are 5 tips to get the most from your policy:
TIP 1
Know your insurer! Although this sounds like the obvious thing to check, you would be surprised how many people sign on to a renters policy with the first salesperson that sounds sincere Make sure that the company that is providing the coverage is not only reputable but also a reliable and prompt claims settler
There are many new companies now offering ‘cut rate’ coverage which really means they cut the rate at which they settle your claim! You can check the performance of any company online with a number of free sponsored consumer groups Anything less than a 4 out of 5 rating stay away from no matter how ‘cheap’ the coverage is
TIP 2
Make sure your renters policy covers the ‘hidden’ damages Everyone thinks of fire or theft when they think of loss but things like water damage from a fire in an adjacent apartment or from a flood is not automatically covered! Check your policy for exclusions like ‘act of god’ or flood plain before you sign the dotted line If these things are excluded then find out how to include them if you feel it might be warranted It is too late to learn about these exclusions after the tornado has swept through the trailer park
TIP 3
Be sure the renters policy covers not only the large items such as the flat screen TV and other appliances, but the smaller more expensive items such as family jewelry Many policies exclude such items unless they are separately listed in an addendum If you have such valuables then make sure the policy will replace them at full value
TIP 4
Keep a record of both the major and minor items that you would need replaced Receipts are best but who keeps every receipt for every item? Instruction booklets for appliances and electronic equipment are an excellent record of proof of ownership and value If you do not have either of these then a simple photograph is most cases would suffice
In this age of picture phones you can take photos of most of your items and store them on in your phone memory! Check with the insurer that these are acceptable before you take the renters policy Make sure you keep such records either in a secure place away from your home or in a fireproof box that is unlocked Why unlocked? Nothing is more intriguing to a thief than a locked box They just might take the entire box just to be sure, but would never bother with pictures or receipts
TIP 5
If you are a collector of unusual memorabilia such as trading cards or comic books then you must include such items in a separate addendum to the renter’s policy It is very important to have both a visual record and an appraisal of the value of such items Most insurance companies will add a small additional fee to the renters insurance premium but it is definitely worth it to make sure these collectables are totally covered
If you follow these 5 simple tips you will be able to sleep well knowing that you are fully covered in the case of any loss you might incur as a renting or leasing tenant

Author : Nitin GeorgeAnyone who has considered purchasing a house knows that home insurance is a major factor to consider before buying Despite what that insurance salesman might tell you most policies are similar to each other in their cost and coverage
It is truly the seemingly minor things that can make a big difference Some mortgage companies require a one or two year escrow account that automatically pays the taxes and insurance as part of your monthly payment Many homeowners elect to make these payments separately after the escrow period has ended and now have to select their own insurance company
First, and most important, is the track record of the company that is to provide your insurance: not all insurance companies are created equal Do not choose your company by either the price they offer or the name they are trying to sell
Some of the biggest and better known insurance companies have horrible track records in customer service and claim settlement Do a thorough search of consumer sites that rate home insurance companies and canvas their comments Remember every poor or bad experience reported actually represents up to two hundred other similar reports that have never been recorded
Next make sure that the home insurance policy satisfies the mortgage company’s requirements The policy coverage must be acceptable to the money lender or it is a waste of time and money Most mortgage companies will be happy to provide a list of insurance companies (and agents) that are acceptable to them but make sure you make up your own mind It is best to find your own agent and set up a working relationship with them to insure that you have the policy that fits your needs
Make sure that the policy covers the full replacement value of your home and will automatically increase as the cost of rebuilding your house increases due to inflation The policy should stipulate that the house will be rebuilt to its former specifications after a major catastrophe
Understand what is not covered in your home insurance policy Some people are unhappily surprised to find out that the contents of their home were covered for fire loss but not covered by the water damage caused by the firemen putting out the fire
Others were sold ‘flood’ insurance when their house sat on the top of a hill outside a flood plain area Do not be afraid to ask any questions about coverage that comes to mind and make sure that the agent shows you where your coverage is in the written policy
Finally, make sure that the policy is comprehensive in scope and is tailored to meet your particular needs If you have antiques or collectables then the policy must reflect their replacement value in its coverage
If you happen to own valuable paintings, furniture, or even jewelry, then make sure that these items are covered in your home insurance policy even if you must pay a little more so that they are included in an addendum
If you follow these simple steps then you will find that choosing the right company and home insurance policy will be a simple matter and that you will be able to rest easy knowing that you are fully protected in the face of disaster

Author : Anthony PeckWho says insurance agents don’t have a sense of humor? They’d have to, to sit back and read some of the insurance claims that drivers and homeowners file today without becoming raving lunatics! Here is a collection of the funniest, most ludicrous and most outrageous insurance claims to ever pass across the desk of an insurance claims director, as told by comedian Jasper Carrott, website www businessballs com and the Charlotte evening news
1) A Charlotte lawyer purchased a box of costly cigars and insured them against flood, storm damage and, of all things, fire Needless to say, his investment went up in (happily inhaled) smoke within a month, after which the lawyer filed a claim with his homeowners insurance company that he was owed compensation because “the cigars were lost in a series of small fires” The insurer refused to pay, assuming (correctly) that the man had smoked the pack himself A judge ruled, however, that since the insurer had never stated what was considered to be “unacceptable” fire the company did, in fact, owe him $15,000 to replace his property
The insurance company paid the claim, but they got their own back in the end The lawyer was then arrested, sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine for 24 counts of arson and insurance fraud
2) True story: When asked to describe how he had come to have a one on one with a lamppost the driver stated that he had not been able to see the post because “it was obscured by human beings ”
3) Only in Louisiana could you get away with filing an insurance claim stating, “Windshield broke Cause unknown Probably voodoo ”
4) It’s all H2O to me A judge had to educate a homeowners insurance provider on the fundamentals of chemistry when a washing machine got stuck on boil and steam cleaned an entire kitchen beyond repair The insurance company tried to claim that steam damage shouldn’t be covered under the homeowners water damage policy
5) A woman meeting her husband, a Navy crewman who was due into port that day, parked at the end of the slip where the submarine was due in to berth There was an inexperienced ensign at the helm who overshot his landing and hit the end of the slip, breaking a section away and sending the car plunging into the water Needless to say, those damages were on Uncle Sam!
6) There may not have been a tornado in town, but a driver unfortunate enough to have picked that day to park his car by the side of the road was treated to a moment in Oz when a house came crashing down off the flatbed of the truck hired to move it, completely destroying his vehicle
7) Will these pedestrians never learn? A driver stated on his insurance claim form that “I knocked over a man He admitted it was his fault, as he’d been knocked over before!” Another driver quite practically pointed out, “The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I ran over him ”
In a nod to punctuality, a driver was rushing out of his drive on his way to work at seven o’clock in the morning and ran straight into a bus-who was five minutes early Anthony Peck is the Senior Developer, Software Project Manager, and Director of Business Development for QuoteScout.com.

Author : Jeni StevensIn today’s economy, many stay-at-home parents have been forced back into a 9-5 job, in order to keep food on the table As they re-enter the work force, new options become available to the family such as a secondary health insurance plan Before you take the plunge and sign up, make sure it will actually be a benefit for your family
The first thing to ask your health plan administrator is about coverage Will the primary and secondary insurance plans cover the same things? Also, make sure to pay attention to what they do not cover If you are thinking to yourself that they look pretty identical, you can bet that you will be wasting a lot of money every month for nothing
A second consideration to make is job stability Many couples sit down together and have a look at both of their current occupations Which position is more likely to be there in a year? If the economy keeps going south, which job will likely go first? By looking at the stability or longevity of a job, it may be easier to choose which health plan is a safer bet
Another idea is to check the provider selection offered with each plan Is your favorite family doctor covered? Are you able to visit the facilities you like the best? Many people forget this step and kick themselves later when they have to hunt down a new physician Being aware of this may also give one plan an edge over the other
Finally, you may want additional coverage, but the plan offered by your workplace just isn’t tempting enough Don’t think your health care options stop there You can see dozens of plans offered within seconds, by simply clicking on a site such as healthplanone com Find a secondary plan that is actually complimentary and not redundant By doing a little investigative work, you may find that two health plans are absolutely worth having for your family

It depends If one plan offers coverage that you use that the other does not, (for example - if you have children, and the primary plan doesn’t cover preventative care, but the secondary one does, then once the primary plan denies it, you can get the secondary to pay it ) then it’s worth it If they both cover and don’t cover the same things, then it’s pointless In which case, drop whichever one you pay more for

One other thought, if one of you is always changing jobs (e g insurances), it might be a good idea to keep the insurance of the spouse that has a more stable situation Does one give you more choices of providers (HMO-PPO)? With the reduction in employee health benefits and the existence of extended family dependents, available employer policy options might not meet your health insurance needs Here the author writes about multiple health plans for one family. In today’s economy every parents have to do job. In these conditions primary Health Insurance is not enough so secondary Health Insurance is must for every family.
