Car Insurance For A Teenager In A Single Parent Home

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

Those turbulent teen years: They are still kids in adults bodies. Because they now require a number of things that adults enjoy (like driving), they need at least the minimum car insurance cover required by law.

I know you know that teenagers probably account for more crashes than all other age groups combined. I also realize that you know that this means very high premiums. As if you didn t have enough challenges. But the law is the law and you ll do well to get your teen covered.

A question arises: Shouldn t my ex-spouse be the one to bear the burden? It depends. It depends on your insurance company s policies. You ll do well to check with yours as they have different positions…

Some may maintain that whoever has custody of the teen driver is responsible for his/her auto insurance. Others may have a policy that puts that responsibility on the parent that has more custody of the teen driver. Some yet will expect both parents to have their teen driver on their car insurance pol (more...)

Long Term Care Insurance

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

Long term care insurance is best when you know you will need medical service for more than a few days or weeks. Long term care insurance offers protection for individuals against unforeseen or catastrophic long term illnesses, and provides them with the assistance that they would require. It can be of great help to older people, as they are not in a position to look after themselves. Thus, long term care insurance provides coverage to them and also offers financial security.

Long term care insurance policies can protect against overwhelming healthcare costs and pay for the expenses that the client incurs from his illness.

Long-term care insurance is not for everyone. A long-term care policy makes sense as an affordable and worthwhile form of insurance, but buying long-term coverage should not cause financial hardship or force you to forego other financial needs. You should do a full financial analysis to decide whether long-term care insurance is appropriate or not.

How to Reduce Your Hospital Bills

Monday, January 30th, 2006

The medical industry, unlike virtually every other business, loves to keep their prices secret. They do this, very simply, so they can make more money. Only by shopping your medical care, demanding price transparency, negotiating for the best price, and carefully reviewing your bill can you be assured that you are getting a fair price, and not being ripped off.

A dramatic example is the price hospitals charge of open heart surgery. The Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada charges $233,259 for open heart surgery involving a heart valve replacement. The Mayo Clinic, recognized as one of the top heart care centers in the world, charges $79,601 for the same procedure. As another example, The Miami Herald recently published an article about hospital pricing in Florida. A woman going to Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah for physical therapy following a car accident had tried to find out what the treatment would cost her, but to little avail. After eleven sessions she started receiving t (more...)

Do I Need Life Insurance?

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

It seems everyone asks the question, “Do I need life insurance?” at one time or another. It s understandable because life insurance can be confusing at times. It s not something we are all experts at knowing about. In fact, the thought of life insurance scares many people away from even considering purchasing it. That is unfortunate because it can make a such a huge impact in the lives of your loved ones in the event of your death. So, how do you answer the question, do I need life insurance? Let s take a look at 5 good reasons you may need to have life insurance protection.

1. Are you married? Do you have children? These are two very important reasons to have life insurance. If you have dependents who are counting on your income, what happens if you pass away? The last thing you want is for your wife and children to worry about finances, and how they are going to try to make ends meet. I have seen firsthand how important this can be. A good friend of mine was suddenly diagnosed with a (more...)

Personal Insurance Reviews Benefit The Customer and Agent

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

A personal insurance review is simply reviewing your insurance policies with your agent. This can be done by phone or in person. I feel it is always nice to do these in person. Meeting in person makes the review more personal and builds rapport with your agent. I recommend completing a personal insurance review every one to two years. There are several benefits to having a regular insurance review.

One benefit is that you may uncover discounts that you are eligible to receive. Insurance companies offer a variety of discounts to their policyholders, so you want to see that you are receiving all discounts available to you. One example of a discount that may be overlooked is the Good Student Discount. Most companies offer this discount, but the agent may not be aware that a child qualifies for the discount until an insurance review is done. Updating the electrical, heating, or plumbing on your home may provide you a discount on your home insurance but your agent may not know that these updates have b (more...)
