The Role of Insurance in Preparation of Your Financial Road Map

By Shellaine Enfesta

When making a decision on what type of insurance to include or purchase, it always varies depending on your lifestyle and economic status. While it is extremely important to have this insurance to get protected from all the uneventful accidents in your life, you have to put into consideration that there is no one type of insurance package that fits-all-your needs.

Several types of insurance that will ultimately protect you and your family and love ones from any unforeseen cost of illness, death, accidents, disabilities and home disasters.

Types of insurance you should consider:
Life Insurance; Disability Income Insurance; Health Insurance (medical and dental insurance); Automobile insurance; Homeowners or Mortgage Insurance; Long-Term Care Insurance; Liability Insurance; Travel Insurance; Loans and Credit Insurance; Credit Card Insurance; Business Insurance; Professional Insurance
Accidental Insurance

The more important insurances like life insurance and disability insurance is a necessity that is virtually a must. Life insurance for instance is virtually a must for people with a spouse and children.

Whereas for single person and no dependant, it would be less important to obtain a life insurance, though you might need it at one point. And having disability insurance for a person with a family would protect his or her family from income that would otherwise devastate their families.

The amount of life insurance you take out is largely dependent on the size of your family and the income and home mortgage that you carry. With life insurance you only collect a payout when you die, which can provide your surviving children and spouse and other dependents with the money and/or funds necessary for them to carry on with their lives- financially.

That fund would take care of your funeral expenses and is also necessary to maintain their living standards and also help to repay debt and help with your childrens educational costs.

Shop around for the best insurance companies that sell those insurance that will fit into your budget and economic situation. Find those insurance agencies or brokers who offer policies from companies whose financial strength are highly ranked by ranking agencies.

Disability insurance and health insurance are both important. Your health insurance is almost always covered by your employer as part of your benefit, but sometimes you will still need to make some upgrades to the existing coverage.

Whereas, disability insurance may be more important because of the fact that in case there is something that happens to you, your family will not go through the burden of insufficient fund needed for your everyday needs. You weigh in which of these types of insurance is more important as it relates to your situation.

The listed types of insurance that are essentially needed for protection plays a big role in planning your financial roadmap. So, the role of insurance in your financial road map has to be assesses and dealt with accordingly.

Understanding the Features of Your Car Insurance

By Ajeet Khurana

Isn”t deciding upon a car insurance coverage as simple as choosing the right car to buy? At least, many of us think so while purchasing a car. The fact is that car insurance can actually be pretty complicated. Many people simply nod their head and make their monthly insurance payments but they don”t really understand what their coverage offers them.

Car Insurance Basics

Liability coverage can be offered in all likelihood when you buy your car insurance. This is the basic coverage that you will find with any insurance policy and basically what this coverage does is pay for the bodily injury and property damage that is caused to others involved in the accident that you are at fault for.

Together, bodily injury coverage and property damage pays for the medical bills, lost wages and repair or replacement of the property that you damaged. This coverage does not pay for the damage that happens to you or your vehicle.

Liability insurance is often broken down into numbers such as 20/40/10, which means that your coverage includes $20,000 in bodily injury, $40,000 in bodily injury per accident, and $10,000 in property damage coverage.

Unlike in liability coverage, a different type of coverage called as collision or comprehensive coverage repairs your vehicle as well as the vehicle and people you have hurt in the accident caused by you. With this type of coverage you won”t be able to receive more than the value of your car, but you will get something to put toward repairs or replacement of the vehicle.

One of the most expensive type of coverage is this. But if you select to have a high deductible you will be able to keep your payments down and still have this coverage that you need if you are involved in an accident. People generally go in for comprehensive coverage and consider it is as the ideal coverage as it also covers the damages caused to your car such as fire, theft, natural disasters, and/or hitting animals in the road.

As a part of your car insurance policy there are other coverage options that you might choose from. One such option is medical payment coverage. This coverage will pay for your as well as your passengers medical expenses when you have been involved in an accident.

Personal injury protection alias PIP is also a coverage you might consider to purchase. This coverage can help pay for those medical expenses but will also help you if you are unable to work, unable to take care of your kids, or if you have to pay for a funeral.

According to me, another type of coverage one can opt for purchasing is the uninsured or underinsured motorist’’s coverage. This coverage will help you pay for damages if you are struck by an uninsured or underinsured individual.

Other options that you may want to consider are rental reimbursement if you have to rent a vehicle because yours is in need of repair or stolen, towing and labor coverage, and gap coverage, which is coverage that pays the difference between the cash that you receive for a total car and the amount left on the car loan. Although these are add on features, they still come in really handy when someone is in any of these situations.

Life Insurance Is Frozen

By Shaun Parker

Life insurance, despite the many clauses it contains, is basically simple. The customer pays their premiums, discloses all relevant medical information and sits back secure in the knowledge that in the event of critical illness his mortgage will be paid and on the event of death his family will not suffer financial hardship.

However, with ever - increasing advances in medicine there is the potential for boundaries to become blurred.

Take, for example, the business of cryonics, sometimes mistakenly called cryogenics.

Cryonics is the practice of freezing a human body to -196 degrees using liquid nitrogen or liquid helium. This is done when conventional medicine can no longer maintain the body. It is not legal to carry out the process unless the person has been legally declared dead.

But this is where problems are occurring. The point of legal death is changing with advances in medicine. Whereas before, a cardiac arrest was considered instant death, it is now often reversible.

Scientists are constantly working on brain matter to also find ways of reversing the death of a brain. It has long been accepted that 4 - 6 minutes is the maximum time after the heart stops that a brain can recover if the heart is resuscitated. Recent studies show that this limit is no longer acceptable and that brain cell activity can be detected after much longer periods.

Contrary to popular belief, legal death does not necessarily mean the death of all the cells of the body. If an organ donor is facing impending death, a team of surgeons can be put on standby. Once the patient has been declared dead, they can then artificially restore blood flow and breathing. This keeps tissues alive until organ transplantation is possible.

For a patient signed up to an organisation for the purpose of cryopreservation, they give permission for their ”dead” body to be filled with cryoprotectants to minimise cell damage and then be cryogenically frozen in the hope that at some point in the future, medical advances will mean they can be ”defrosted”, repaired and revived.

This is a very controversial issue for scientists and ethical bodies around the world. Scientists believe that although reversal of death is not possible, it will be in the future. Indeed, this is not a new concept. Benjamin Franklin famously suggested in a letter dated 1773 that the preservation of life in a suspended state for centuries would one day be possible.

The ethical issues surrounding cryonics ask if this process is interment or medicine. If it is interment, then resuscitation is not possible because the soul is gone. If cryonics is medicine with legal death as a mere formality, then cryonics is a long term coma with an uncertain prognosis.

Scientists do not like to call the process interment as this suggests that cryonics cannot work. It cannot work at the moment but that is not necessarily a permanent obstacle.

So, if it falls into the bracket of long term coma is it possible that life insurance policies may not pay out in the future? You have to be legally dead for your family to be in receipt of your life insurance and legally dead to receive cryonics. But, at some point in the future, if it should occur that death reversal is possible, will life insurance companies be asking for their money back?

The most radical idea for the future of cryonics is mind transfer. Technology is being worked on to scan the memory contents of a preserved brain. It can only be assumed that these will then need another body to be transferred into. If the character and memory is in a brain would you want to wake up in somebody else’’s body?

Would you want to look in the mirror with your brain telling you the way you look but your eyes seeing something different? Would you want to be in control of another person’’s body, be scratching their arm, sleeping in their body?

And if the person is in the brain to the point where that person is cryogenically revived, what happens to that person’’s life insurance, or the life insurance of the body that now has new life, albeit with a different mind?

How Contract Hire Works

By Gary Terrazas

Contract Hire enables companies to run their company vehicles without the worry and risks of the capital cost and future vehicle values. Perhaps the simplest way to think of a Contract Hire agreement is as long-term car hire.

The contract is for a fixed term, which can be for a period of 12 months to 48 months. Typical terms for contract hire are either two or three years, normally with three monthly payments made in advance. For example if it were a two year contract of say $200 per month, you would make an initial payment of $600 and then pay 23 monthly payments of $200. All payments are subject to VAT, in most cases the company can re-claim 50% of the VAT in the case of cars and 100% for commercial vehicles. Normally the monthly rentals can be off set against profits. At the end of the term you simply hand the vehicle back.

The advantages of Contract Hire to a company are as follows:

* Off balance sheet funding
* Fully budgeted costs
* Maintenance can be included
* No worries about future values
* Does not tie up staff time on vehicle disposal

Contract Hire versus Hire Purchase of vehicles.

Many companies are now opting for Contract Hire in preference to Hire Purchase for their company vehicles. The attraction seems to be the ease of acquiring vehicles without the responsibility of ownership or the time and effort involved with eventual disposal. It also appeals to many companies that Contract Hire is off balance sheet and that they have fully budgeted costs.

When companies opt for hire purchase it can be because they plan to keep the vehicle for longer than a typical three year Contract Hire term. Although it is unusual for a company nowadays to keep a vehicle for longer that three years and of course if they do so, they have to consider that most vehicles will then be outside the warranty period.

It can also be because they feel that they may need to exit from the agreement early; although there are penalties payable for early termination with both funding methods, it is generally less expensive to terminate a Hire Purchase agreement. Of course for those who are concerned about this, they could as an alternative opt for a shorter Contract Hire agreement of say two years. Most companies provide the option to extend the agreement at the end of two years, in some cases on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Personal Contract Hire. (Contract Hire for individuals)

Personal Contract Hire is very similar to Contract Hire, detailed above; Contract Hire is designed for businesses and Personal Contract Hire is for individuals who wish to lease a vehicle. The only real difference for the client is the treatment of VAT. In the case of Contract Hire, the client pays a monthly rental to which VAT is added. In the case of Personal Contract Hire the monthly rental is inclusive of VAT.

The other benefits are the same as Contract Hire; fully budgeted monthly cost, maintenance can be included (so even the cost of replacing tyres is included in the monthly cost) and no further worries of disposing your vehicle. For many car owners the worst aspect of acquiring a new car is having to advertise and sell their existing vehicle and discovering that in the time they have owned it, it has dropped dramatically in value. With Personal Contract Hire as with Contract Hire you simply hand the vehicle back at the end of the term.

Personal Contract Hire versus Hire Purchase of vehicles.

Over the past few years many individuals have opted for Personal Contract Hire in preference to Vehicle Hire Purchase. This funding method can be of particular interest to those who are opting out of a company car scheme, or are in receipt of a car allowance. Also the ease of acquiring vehicles without the responsibility of ownership and eventual disposal of the vehicle seems to be an added attraction. Many seem to find the disposal of their vehicle to be particularly onerous; not liking the idea of a stranger turning up at their home to view the vehicle, and also they are often unsure of how best to deal with a test drive, as the prospective purchaser may not be fully insured.

When the vehicle is sold there is then the issue of payment; in general it is not considered advisable to receive large amounts of cash at home. If the purchaser is paying for the vehicle with a Bankers Draft, as a precaution it’’s authenticity should be verified with the issuing bank.

For those who opt for Hire Purchase in preference to Personal Contract Hire when acquiring a new vehicle it is often done because they feel that they may keep the vehicle longer than the typical three-year term offered with Contract Hire. Also some feel there may be the possibility of needing to withdraw from the agreement early; although there are penalties for doing so with both funding methods, it is generally less expensive in the case of Hire Purchase. Of course those who are concerned about this, could as an alternative opt for a shorter two-year Personal Contract Hire term.

What to look out for when obtaining a Contract Hire or Personal Contract Hire quote.

Vehicle sourcing and broking is at the moment unregulated. There are government plans that it should become a regulated industry, in the meantime care should be taken when obtaining quotations.

* Advance Payments. A typical Contract Hire or Personal Contract Hire quotation will show three payments in advance, followed by perhaps 23 or 35 payments depending on the term. Some companies will advertise what appears to be a low monthly rental, however on closer inspection, it becomes evident that rather than three payments to be made in advance there are six. On other occasions the rental appears low because a much larger initial payment is required, sometimes running into thousands of pounds (there is an example at the end of this section, as to how a cost comparison can be made between a company quoting six payments and another quoting three payments in advance). In general the most straightforward way to make a cost comparison is to look at companies quoting three payments in advance and 10,000 miles per annum. I0,000 is the mileage companies normally advertise. Should your annual mileage requirements be higher most companies will be happy to provide a quotation at your required level.

* Deposits. If a broker requires a deposit it is very important to establish the terms under which the deposit is paid (a deposit should normally be paid to the supplying dealer). There have been many cases of vehicles not being delivered and the customer being unable to recover their deposit.

* Fees. On occasions there may be a fee payable, this can be unavoidable because some manufacturers charge a documentation fee, of perhaps $125 - $150. There are however cases of brokers charging their own fees. This is not necessarily a reason not to deal with a company but it is important to take the cost of the fee into account when comparing costs.

* Vehicle Availability. It is important to establish that a vehicle being advertised by a company is actually available at the price quoted and either in stock, or they are able to quote a delivery date. This can help to avoid the time and sometimes money that can be lost ordering a vehicle that is just not available, or not available at the price advertised.

Should you wish to establish which quote is the most competitive for a similar vehicle advertised, one company offering three and another six payments in advance, the calculation is as follows.

A Contract Hire Quote of $200 per month over 36 months with three payments in advance.

3 payments in advance $600
35 monthly payments @ $200 $7,000
Total cost $7,600

The same vehicle quoted at $189 per month over 36 months with six payments in advance.

6 payments in advance $1,134
35 monthly payments @ $189 $6,615
Total cost $ 7,749

In this example the vehicle that appears cheaper at first glance, is in practice more expensive. There is also a slight financial disadvantage when making six payments in advance; the extra cost of the three additional payments has to be found at the beginning of the contract, rather than being spread over the term. The difference however is minimal and in the interests of simplicity it is probably best to ignore this factor when making a comparison.

The Break Down Of Auto Insurance

By John Hilaire

Cavemen had no idea what they were into when they first learned how to rock and roll and make those rocks roll. Who knew this would evolve past wooden carts and jaunty buggies to Henry Ford’’s T-Model and the now shiny vrooms that grace the tarmac today?

Vehicles have long been a staple in the lives of most men and women today. Thanks to advancements in technology, many vehicles have become part playground, office, and even bedroom. There is not much that you cannot do from the driver’’s seat anymore.

The family car is more than a tool for just work and play; it is entrusted with the lives of you and your family on a daily basis. It can also be a status symbol for all of your past and present accomplishments in life. Cars really are more iatrical than some people would think. It only makes sense that you would have an auto insurance policy to protect this very important investment.

FYI About Auto Insurance

What exactly is auto insurance? It is more than just an added expense and piece of paper stuffed in your glove box. You even begin to wonder how needed it even is. Think of your auto insurance policy as a shield and a back-up generator all in one; it can keep you safe from the possible and unforeseen accident and/or mishap.

Auto insurance may not be able to prevent that other driver from careening in you or the lamp post from jumping into the middle of the road during a rain storm, but that little piece of paper can shelter you and your family from unnecessary harassment and further turmoil during a time when you may not be at your fighting best.

You have made the decision to obtain auto insurance for your vehicle. Do you know what is included in your policy? It is good to know what basic points of coverage your insurance company should be offering you:

1) Bodily injury liability covers any injuries you (and anyone listed on your policy) cause to someone else.

2) Personal injury protection takes care of medical expenses incurred if you or your family is inured in an accident. This can also pay lost wages, and even funeral expenses.

3) Property damage liability covers any damages you may cause in an accident.

4) Collision pays for any damage to your vehicle in an accident.

5) Comprehensive coverage is optional in many states; this pays for any damage that is not caused by another vehicle. Earthquakes, flooding, theft, riots, run-ins with animals, and falling objects are usually included.

6) Uninsured motorist coverage keeps you safe in the even the other driver is not insured, or you are involved in a hit-and-run accident.

Life Insurance To Protect Against Toilet Humour

By Shaun Parker

When taking out life insurance, many people think of the obvious risks. Cancer, heart disease and accidents are the main concerns, although thankfully these won”t happen to the majority of us.

But have you ever considered life insurance to cover dying of laughter? Have you ever considered the possibilities of dying on the toilet? It happens.

There are many deaths reputed to be attributable to laughter. As far back as 207 BC a Greek philosopher by the name of Chrysippus was apparently watching his drunken donkey trying to eat figs when he laughed himself to death.

More recently, a 50 year old bricklayer died after 25 continuous minutes of laughing while watching an episode of the Goodies on TV. His death was put down to heart failure, brought on by the excessive strains of laughing too much.

Dying of laughter itself is not possible. It is thought that it only possible if choking or heart failure occur at the same time. Thankfully, this is not very likely as, according to health experts, patients with heart disease will laugh less than anybody else.

This is due to the stress levels. Endothelial cells form a protective lining in our blood vessels and stress impairs the production of these cells. A weak endothelium can lead to hardened arteries, quite literally, hardening the heart.

It has been surmised that it is possible to suffocate during excessive laughter. During laughter, the epiglottis constricts the larynx. This restricts our ability to breath but the automatic breathing response will take over before it’’s too late.

Laughter has, in fact, been found to be a great medicine. So much so that laughter therapy is now a recognised practice. It reduces the stress hormones and our bodies natural produce killer cells to ward off all types of diseases and virus’’s.

In fact, laughter is a good all-over workout. Blood pressure is lowered, there is an increase in vascular blood flow and more oxygen reaches the blood stream. Diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg and back muscles are given such a work out that laughing 100 times is the equivalent of 10 minutes on a rowing machine or 15 minutes on an exercise bike.

The dangers of a negative lifestyle are well documented. The emotions of a negative person can cause biochemical changes that affect our health adversely.

Surely, if laughter is this good for you there should be a clause in life insurance policies to reflect it? There is a section asking about regular exercise. If a gym membership lowers the premiums for life insurance then shouldn”t a sunny disposition do the same? Is laughing at the cost of life insurance enough?

There’’s also the other hidden danger in life that is not mentioned on life insurance policies and that’’s the risk of dying on the toilet. It is widely believed, though not proven, that Elvis Presley died whilst on the toilet and he is not the only famous person to have this eulogy.

From slipping on a wet bathroom floor, pulling down a high mounted old-fashioned toilet system, pinching injuries from broken toilet seats to broken hips from slipping off a dodgy toilet seat, toilet injuries are common place but death?

It really is physically possible to die from going to the toilet. This is apparently due to a drop in blood pressure due to the parasympathetic nervous system during bowel movements. However, it is expected that there will already be a circulatory problem before the event.

So, when taking out that life insurance policy, check the small print and ensure you are covered for every day events such as going to the toilet and laughing.

Do You Want The Extra Protection Package Sir?

By Shaun Parker

When we hire a car, after going through the reams of paperwork, and in some outlets, giving our bio-metric data, we are asked the age old question. For a nominal fee would you like our insurance protection plan?

Many think this is a necessity but in reality it is optional. The question that enters my mind however is, ”is it really worth it?” What will I gain from paying this nominal fee? If I do happen to have an accident how far will it go to reimbursing me?

To answer these questions a number of factors must be taken into consideration and case studies looked at; it’’s a classic case of risk versus reward. For some who never use the car hire firm’’s optional insurance cover, money has been saved wholesale, although regular users know things can go wrong and the cover comes in handy sometimes.

Overall customers are not sure of their own level of cover; some personal insurance policies can be extended to car hire and many clients are unsure if their own cover will do this, bear in mind it is something worth checking out before hiring a car.

Figures from an insurance company survey show that 34 percent of people will buy a car hire company’’s additional cover just for the sense of security. This however is a mistake and in many cases an undue expense.

Added to customers own personal insurance policies, the credit card often used for the leasing of a car carries its own secondary insurance. In many cases, when accidents in hire cars have occurred, customers have neglected this element of there credit card service and failed to make a claim, unfortunately, if a claim is not made within 45 days of the incident it is impossible to recoup the losses encountered.

Making claims on both personal insurance policies and credit card secondary insurance however can be difficult. Not all policies will give cover if the car hire is for business trips and also many will not give cover for long term rentals. Added to this it is, cover is not always available in foreign countries, making the optional extra cover a valid decision.

Car hire companies offer many levels of cover making the choice for customers increasingly difficult. Options include loss or damage waivers, personal effects protection and in most cases numerous accident damage policies.

Customers have had nightmares when no additional cover has been purchased, as car hire companies charge an extortionate fee for damage, even if it is just scratch. This makes the argument for extra cover stronger but does not make it a necessity.

.Many regular clients of car hire companies feel that the optional insurance is completely overpriced, and as long as the prices remain high they will not purchase the cover. Some purely buy the collision coverage just for peace of mind while others who have had awful past experiences always purchase extra cover.

Car hire companies predictably defend their cover plans, some state that even if your personal insurance will cover your rental would you really want to jeopardise your no claims bonus? They also defend the elevated prices with the explanation that those insist on refusing optional insurance are keeping fees high

It is clearly visible that customers are divided over the issue, ultimately it boils down to whether you are a risk taker or not. Whether you are willing to gamble your wallet against the nominal fee they ask for at the desk or simply hand over the amount for peace of mind. What can definitely be asserted is that as long as there are risk takers among us, this trend will continue.

Medical Health Insurance: How To Get The Cheapest Policy

By Michael Kohler

One of the largest expenses in today’’s modern society is the cost of health insurance. Over the last hundred years, the population has increased so dramatically that any country would have difficulty providing universal health care, especially with all of the modern advances that we have today and the large sums of money that most medical doctors and hospitals make. Here are a few tips on how to get the cheapest medical health insurance policy available today without racking your brain too much.

Before you go on a long winded tour of the Internet or your local Yellow Pages in order to find out where in the world you”re going to get medical health insurance coverage, there are few things that you ought to run by your frontal lobe in order to determine exactly what pathway you wish to take when searching for this inevitable necessity that all adults and children must or should have in our ever-changing society. Health insurance is very important and you won”t really understand how important until you are in a situation where you are with out it and end up in the hospital and receive a bill for 50 or even $100,000 that you have to pay out of your own pocket because you did not decide to get any coverage at all.

One of the first things you must consider is how many people are in your family. If you are a single person then your premium each month will be very small in comparison to what it would be for a family of say 10 people. If you are single then you have many other choices available to you that most people do not. However, if you are a family person and you need to have coverage for your many loved ones, then there are a few more considerations that you need to take into account.

Most families are not consistent of one age group but multiple age groups with multiple variations of problems that may occur. For instance, if you have many infants, then you must take into account how many different problems come when raising a child from the years of one to two years of age. If you have children in elementary school, those problems will be different than those of your teen children and so on.

Once you have taking into account how many people you will need to put on your policy, then you need to consider what kind of a policy that you should have. There are many policies that have and exceptional amount of coverage that costs a lot of money. If you do go to the doctor regularly, then this medical health insurance will be very beneficial because you will be saving money in the long run. However, if you do not go to the doctor very frequently and are typically a healthy person and the members of your household are also healthy, then you may be better off with a premium that is lower that offers fewer benefits because you will not need them on a regular basis.

The next thing to consider is the premium itself. If you”re lucky enough to find a company that will give you a medical health insurance policy that is affordable and gives you almost if not full coverage for all of your medical, dental, and even vision care needs, then you should pay a premium that you can afford that will give you these kinds of benefits. However, most companies are not out there to give you the best policy for less and therefore you must pick and choose between what they have to offer and what you can afford. When doing so, always take into account what you think your family will need or if you are an individual than take into account how many times you think you will be going to the doctor and choose your policy accordingly.

The last thing to consider is why you need a policy. If you are relatively healthy all of the time, then you should go ahead and get a policy that is a bottom level policy in price and in benefits. At least then you would have coverage. If you have more people to consider, I would consider getting the middle ground policy which will cost a marginal amount yet cover everyone in the family. If your family is habitually going to the doctor or the dentist, and it is probably your best bet to choose a higher and policy with the most benefits in order to save your family money in the long run as they make those frequent trips to the doctor. It is up to you to make a good decision and you will do so after reading this when choosing your next medical health insurance policy.

Health Insurance Quotes - How To Find Free Quotes

By Michael Kohler

Most people are always on the lookout for ways to save money. The health-insurance industry is one of those places where people tried to skimp as much as possible with the knowledge that if they go too far, they may not have enough coverage to make it worth their while as they pay the monthly premium. The best way to find the best rate for you is to get a quote for your coverage. Here are a few ways to find free health insurance quotes that will save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.

Gone are the good old days when you used to be able to call up your local insurance company, said an appointment, go down to their local office, and be able to be assured of getting a great rate from your local agent. Capitalization is a great form of industry but it can lead to an almost viral growth of subsidiary companies that will make it very difficult for you to access a great rate without a lot of middlemen in the process.
