Homeowners insurance is definitely great to have when you need it the most. If you are unfortunate enough to suffer a loss, your response will depend on the type of loss and the surrounding circumstances.

If someone is hurt while playing with your children on your property, you should call either a doctor, hospital, or parents in order depending on the severity of the injury.

If you come home after work to a burglarized home the first thing you do is call your local police station.

If you suffer from a fire most states have policies that state what to do in these sorts of losses. First, the insured should give written notice of all losses to their insurance company.

Next, you must protect the property from future damage. If the roof is partially destroyed, cover it and protect it from further weather damage. 

After the damage is done, separate the damaged and undamaged personal property. Write a complete inventory of the completely destroyed, partially damaged, and undamaged property. In this list show detailed quantities, costs, actual cash value, and amount of loss claimed. It’s in your best interest to notify your insurance company as soon as possible, if you expect a speedy claim filed.

Learn from this example. In 1974, a Nebraska homeowner couldn’t collect insurance for the theft of his wife’s diamond ring because the insurance company wasn’t notified until six months after the incident. The court ruled that the wife’s fear of telling her husband that the ring was missing was not an excusable delay. Needless to say, the husband wasn’t too happy.

The homeowners insurance policy required that the insurer be given notice as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to call your insurance agent if there’s a loss of any kind just to see if you’re covered.

In the event that your family’s loss is so great that your home is inhabitable, you will quickly need to find a place to live. Some people stay with family, friends, or neighbors until the claim is settled. Insurance companies reimburse you should you be forced to stay in a motel. Some families rent a mobile home and move it to their property. There are several advantages to this. The main advantage is living on the property in a trailer is that it will reduce the chance of criminal activity on your property.

This also gives the property owner the opportunity to supervise the rebuilding process once the claim has been settled.
If you aren’t fortunate enough to remain on your property, you must take the necessary precautions to reduce the number of potential hazards. This includes boarding up any broken doors, windows, and holes in the building. If it’s cold weather, have the water turned off to prevent possible damage due to freezing.

If you insure a substantial loss to your property, and it is mortgaged you should notify your mortgage company. During this process it is essential to keep your payments up to date. If you don’t it gives the company justification to take the proceeds and use it towards the mortgage.

Regardless of whether you are leasing, renting or owning your home, you will want to invest in homeowners insurance to protect your investment and your contents. There are many things that can go wrong in a home and cause a loss of items, the home structure itself, and injuries to persons in the home. Injuries to people are covered by the liability insurance portion of your homeowner’s insurance and protects you from visitors and others who have hurt themselves on your property.

When you purchase a home, chances are that you have gone to a financial institution to get a mortgage to pay for the home. In effect, the bank actually owns your home and you are paying them back—once you have paid them back, then you ‘own’ the home. In the meantime, you own part and the bank owns part—simply because it is their money that secured the home for you. Most financial institutions require that you have homeowners insurance. This is to protect their investment in the home from loss as well as to protect you from any loss of the home itself. In the event of a catastrophic accident where the home is damaged or destroyed, if you do not have insurance, you will still owe money to the bank for the mortgage. Homeowners insurance protects you from this devastating financial loss in the event of a peril happening to your home.

Most landlords or leasing companies also require you to have some form of renters insurance on the contents of your home. Your landlord is not responsible for the contents of your home in case of loss or damage due to a perilous event. However, on the flip side of the coin, you are not responsible for insuring the structure of the home or apartment building from damage or loss. If you are renting or leasing a home or apartment, you will want to get renters insurance to protect your valuables and contents of your home. Ensure that your landlord has adequate structure coverage for the building itself.

Even if it seems that you don’t own anything of value and you are renting or leasing a home, everything in your home is valuable. Can you imagine not having a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear or food to eat? Could you afford to replace everything you do own in the event of fire or theft? The answer is probably no. Renters insurance covers everything in your home, right down to your socks.

Homeowners insurance and renters insurance is a wise investment. Of course, one hopes that it is never needed and that it’s an ‘extra purchase’ that you don’t ever have to use, however, if you do need it someday, you will be glad you made that ‘extra purchase’ which will save you thousands and thousands of dollars.

No one can predict the future—fires, theft and damage occur all the time to homes and contents across the country. It could happen to you, too, no matter how careful you are. Find out what your bank, landlord or lease company requires you to have for insurance and find out from an insurance company, agent or broker which coverage suits you best.
It’s a great feeling to save money on your homeowners insurance, every little bit counts. When it comes to saving on your policy, there’s a few things you can do to make sure you’re getting the largest discount. You might not be able to follow each tip, but keep them in mind when you want to save money on your homeowners insurance.

1. Don’t smoke in or around your home. Naturally, smokers increase the chance of having a fire start in the house. Insurance companies will take note of this and adjust the cost of your policy accordingly. Savings of around 5% can be had, depending on your company.
2. Install burglar alarms or some kind of effective home security. Modern security systems are getting very sophisticated, yet more user-friendly and simple to operate. A basic security system might meet your needs just fine, but you might want to look into easy upgrades that enhance the effectiveness of your security system. If your security system is hooked up to your local police station, your savings could possibly be higher.

3. Set up an automatic sprinkler system. A functional sprinkler system is naturally one of the best defenses against a house fire. Automatic fire sprinklers are very simple and effective when it comes to fighting fires in your home. When heavy smoke is detected, it sets off the sprinklers. Enough water is dispersed to eradicate a fire in the beginning stages, or effectively slow a fire that’s bigger.

4. Have deadbolt locks installed. Although these may not be foolproof, they do help deter and slow down burglars. Along the same lines, consider getting secure locks for your windows. Insurance companies may also be able to reduce your premiums because of all the extra beefed up security.

5. Keep your jewelry, gold, and other valuable possessions in a local bank safe deposit box. Many insurers will give you a discount for this.

6. A few companies give discounts to seniors, going with the assumption that most seniors will be home so it would naturally keep burglars away.

7. New homes might get discounts on their homeowners insurance, simply because new homes generally have better fire protection than older homes. The materials used on newer homes are less prone to fire, so you may be able to save a bit of money on your homeowners insurance.

8. Naturally, wood is more susceptible to fire than stone. Because of this, some insurers will give you a discount if your home is made primarily of brick or stone, rather than wood. If your home is made of any other materials that are fire-retardant, make sure you let your insurance company know, since you may be able to get reductions on your homeowners insurance. 

Combine as many of these money-saving methods mentioned above with the highest possible deductible that you can afford. This is the most effective way to save the most money on your homeowners insurance. There’s more ways than one to save money on your homeowners insurance, so take the time to explore for even more.

When you first think of homeowners insurance you might automatically think fire insurance. What most people don’t know is that homeowners insurance covers much more extending coverage on all possessions regardless of where you are when the damage covers.If you were on vacation, for example, and your expensive camera was stolen, your homeowner’s insurance would cover its loss. 

Homeowners policies cover your main areas of exposure.
1. Damage to your home and / or any other structures on your property.
2. Liability for which you are found responsible in most situations in all areas of the world. If a claim is filed against you for causing a personal injury or damage to property, this liability coverage will pay for all expenses and legal awards up to the limit policy.
3. Damage to all of your personal property with some exceptions such as your automobile.
4. Living expenses if your home is rendered uninhabitable due to fire or another covered disaster. This is sometimes called loss of use coverage, and includes payment or reimbursement of hotel and restaurant bills.

Homeowners insurance will also cover your legal liability if someone decided to sue you for something that occurred on your property. Standard liability coverage is $25,000, which is hardly enough to meet today’s liability needs. Make sure you are protected and get more than enough coverage.

Accidents happen every day. Say a local handyman falls over your children’s bike and suffers major injuries. He’s now left unable to work, and has a pile of mounting medical bills. In today’s hospitals $25,000 doesn’t go very far if you suffer from substantial injuries.

Most injuries today are also awarding huge sums in liability cases so you would be smart to carry at least $100,000 in homeowner liability coverage. If there’s any serious construction going on at your property, the more coverage the better.

Homeowners insurance cannot only help you liability wise, but it also provides a complete package of protection. It not only covers the home itself, but all of your personal belongings as well. This would come into play if your property suffered a terrible fire, or if a robber broke in. 

Another great aspect of homeowners insurance is you can purchase liability coverage policies on all your family members, including family pets! This kind of protection is vital in case one of your children were to cause injury to another child at your residence or on your property. This type of liability insurance on your family dog would protect you if your pet bit someone. It would be a good idea to have this kind of coverage if your dog is a breed that is prone to aggression.

Unfortunately, two perils that are not covered by homeowners insurance policy are flood damage and earthquake damage. This doesn’t mean that you can’t get protection against these tragedies, however.

Any insurance agent should be able to tell you about, and how to obtain these, should you feel you need it. Special policies are available from the federal government. You might want to look into getting these policies, depending on your location.

If you’re paying on a Homeowners insurance policy that your bank has accepted, then you’ve got enough coverage for your needs, right? You may be right – but chances are that if you assume you have enough insurance coverage, you’re very wrong. The mortgage company or bank is only concerned that you’ll get enough from your insurance company to pay off the mortgage if something happens to your home. The last thing you want to learn when disaster strikes is that your home insurance coverage isn’t enough to rebuild or repair your home – or worse, that you’re not covered for the damage at all. With the list of exclusions to homeowners’ insurance growing almost daily, homeowners need to sit down with their insurance policy and take a serious look at what coverage they have – and more importantly, what coverage they don’t have. 

Below are some typical exclusions to standard life insurance policies. Take a close look at your policy, assess the risk factors for your property, and then call your home insurance agent to find out what coverage you have and which you need to be sure that your home is insured for the most likely risks you face.

Natural Disasters
Many Southerners learned to their dismay that their homeowners’ insurance did not cover damage from hurricane. Don’t assume that your home is covered in case of fire, flood or other natural disaster. Read the fine print to be sure exactly which natural disasters are covered and which are not. In most cases, floods are not covered. You’ll need separate flood insurance from FEMA. If you live in the forest or far from a fire station, you may not be covered for fires. In general, the higher your risk of a natural disaster, the less likely it is that your standard homeowners insurance will cover it. Talk to your agent about special riders of disaster insurance policies.

Luxury Items
In most cases, the entire contents of your home is covered under your homeowners’ insurance, but if you own luxury items like expensive jewelry or collectibles like coins, you may be limited in the amount you can collect. Talk to your agent about riders to cover expensive jewelry, watches, furs, guns and other high-ticket items.

Acts of War or Terrorism
Before the World Trade Center disaster, few insurance companies excluded acts of terrorism from their insurance coverage, but it’s becoming more and more common. If your home is damaged or destroyed in an act of war or terrorism, you may be on your own. 

Computer and Technical Equipment
If you have more than one computer or if you use your computers for business purposes, the equipment may not be covered under your homeowners policy. Even if it is, you may be limited to recovering only what the equipment is worth now, not the cost of replacing it. If you depend on your computers for business, or if you own more than $2,500 worth of computer equipment, it may be worth insuring it on a separate rider.

Many people make the mistake of believing that all homeowners insurance policies are essentially the same, and that they basically cover you for any conceivable loss. This couldn’t be any further from the truth, and believing the same is both disappointing and costly. A close friend, for example, made the mistake of assuming that his car stereo was covered in his homeowners insurance policy. When his car stereo was stolen, he had to pay for the bill. Unfortunately for him, he found out the hard way that he wasn’t covered.

In order to find the best price on your policy, know if you are a good risk first. Some companies are very selective about the property they insure, preferring to give homeowners insurance policies mainly on what they call “preferred risks”. A preferred risk is a risk that’s desirable for them to take, basically because there’s little chance for anything to happen to your home. A new home in a desirable neighborhood is a good example of a “preferred risk”. An 80-year-old home with an outdated electrical system and rotting wood would definitely be considered a bad risk.
It’s best to buy your insurance from a company that chooses its clients very carefully. The price of the insurance will not only be lower, but the service will be better as well. 

In order to get the best deal possible, you’ll need to shop around and inquire with a few different companies. Prices for identical policies can vary by as much as 60 percent from company to company, so it’s crucial that you spend some time searching. Don’t forget to ask the agents to explain the coverage, and ask lots of questions if you need to.
If you have a great claim record, don’t be afraid to ask for special discounted rates for preferred customers. A lot of companies offer things like this, but you have to make the effort to ask in order to garnish any real information about them.

Another simple, yet very effective way to save money on your homeowners insurance policy is to have a high deductible. The deductible is the set amount that is automatically deducted from the loss value before a payment is made. By choosing a higher deductible, you can save as much as 25 percent on your payment.
It’s smart to make sure you insure all property that you can’t afford to get stolen, and be sure to insure it to the full amount. You’ll be able to dodge the costly mistake of not having enough insurance when you need it most, or not having the right insurance for an expensive item.

Once you decide on your homeowners insurance policy, the price of molding it to fit your specific needs is not as high as you might expect. If you want coverage for earthquakes, for example, the price of an earthquake endorsement will usually be a fraction of the price of the initial policy. If you want a policy that insures personal property items, the extra cost will probably be a lot smaller.

However, if your car over heats, your vacation may become your worst experience ever. So before you start your car and hit the road, it is important that you check first and be prepared for the trip ahead.

Let a professional check your engine so that you can be sure that it is in good shape before getting on the road. Do your part by putting all the tools necessary in case the car breaks down. Do not forget the jumper cables, lug wrench, jack reflectors, and flares. Other than the auto kits, you must also have drinking water, gloves, flashlight, and of course, the first-aid kit. Drinking water is not for the car but for you. You do not know how much time you have to spend waiting for help to come. This would prevent you from becoming dehydrated especially during the hot season.

Of course, you must bring along the important documents like vehicle registration, your insurance policy, and the numbers that you can contact in case of emergency of breakdown. Moreover, a fully charged mobile phone is a must. If you forgot to charge your cellular phone, you can also bring a car charger with you as well.

Always put your safety and your health as your top priority. Proper planning and preparation for a road trip during the summer will allow you to prevent unnecessary situations that would compromise your health.
One of the big facts about car breakdowns is that there are hundreds of Americans who are spending as much as $7,000 just for car repairs, especially those who are on a road trip during the summer. And since you have to spend a lot of money on your vacation, you surely do not want this financial dilemma because vacation is just all about distressing and relaxing, right?

However, if you find yourself in this problem and pressure, here are some of the things that you can do so you can drive back on the road again.

1. Move your car away from the road to prevent the traffic behind you from building up. Let your passengers push the car until you reach the shoulder of the road. If they are not capable of doing so, turn your flashers on and get out of the car to warn other drivers of your car problem.
2. By the time that the car is already out of the road, turn the emergency indicators on.
3. Do not forget to get the reflectors from the trunk and place it behind the vehicle.
4. Look for landmarks within the area so that the towing truck or anyone you call about the incident will quickly find it.

Every driver is aware that a new car will lose part of its value as soon as the vehicle leaves the dealer. For those who are planning to use their cars for a couple of years and have plans of selling it afterwards, you should face that the value of your vehicle will decrease. 

On the other hand, if your car was damaged due to natural catastrophes such as flood, the value of the car will surely bother you. But don’t fret. If you still owe the dealer $20,000 for the car, there is a great chance that you will only be paying them $6,000 because your car insurance company will be paying for the rest of the amount. 

When getting financing for your car, it is important that you look for a deal that would offer you low payments and in long terms. The more months or years that you have to pay for the vehicle, the longer it will take before you get to the point that you can fully pay the depreciating value of the car. 

There are more factors that can lessen the gap insurance so that you would no longer have a hard time with your lender. This also includes the desire of the finance industry to accommodate new buyers as much as they can. This is to gain more profit through the interests that these customers would pay. 

More and more vehicle dealers are now aware of the fact that there is an increase gap. Therefore, they are now looking for ways to include the coverage as you pay for the remaining amount that you owe for the car. Moreover, the gap insurance is not that expensive, contrary to what people think. More often than not, the cost of the gap insurance ranges from $200 up to $600. In case that you still can’t afford to pay for the gap insurance for some reason, there are policies that you can afford. Just ask your local insurance agent how you can get it and about the coverage of the policy as well. 

You can also ask the insurance agent of your choice about the gap insurance if you think that this is the ideal thing for you. Start asking for questions before you start scouting for your new car. Do not forget to tell your insurance agent to take note of the situations that the gap insurance is not applicable. In situations where gap insurance is not eligible, you must also know how you could pay for such. These are the must-know details before getting gap insurance so you will get to avoid problems in the long run. 

Do not ever think that car insurance is just another pain in your pocket and a bill that would give you more stress as it adds to the expenses of your family. As long as you use your car on the road, car insurance is one of the most important things that you must have. 

If you decide gap insurance is a good idea for your situation, discuss this with your agent when you start looking for your new car. Ask your agent to investigate the instances in which gap coverage would not apply, and find out how payment would be made when it did. Some policies pay complete replacement value if your car is totaled, even if that value is thousands of dollars higher than when you bought the car. Others pay only the total owed on the car, while others pay only a percentage of the total owed. 

If you think gap insurance is just another bill to pay, remember this essential fact: Having this insurance may make the difference between surviving the loss of a car in good condition, or taking a hit to the wallet.

For those who are supplying vehicle parts independently, you would surely hear them say that all parts are the same. They simply want to tell that the generic parts, also known as the Aftermarket Parts, are the clones that look perfectly like the parts that came from the automakers or what they call as the Original Equipment Manufacturer. 

With the introduction of the aftermarket parts, the OEM prices decreased by as much as 30 percent. It is not only the car owners who would like to spend less on their vehicles who are fond of aftermarket items. The IIHS or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also thinks that it doesn’t matter if the car parts are aftermarket or OEM as long as it works perfectly fine. There are tons of car insurance companies who are also using aftermarket parts as well so that they would be able to offer low premiums and able to maintain low costs for the expenses of the damaged vehicles at the same time. The CAPA or Certified Automobile Parts Association is trying to exert some effort to stop the selling or at least decrease the customers of these products. Unfortunately, the market has increased by as much as 15 percent. 

The Auto Body Parts Association established the CAPA way back in 1987. Most of the funds of the CAPA came from the experts in collision repair as well as the insurance industry. Moreover, there are also 14 members who are included in the Board of Directors as well so that they could give the association the advice that they need. 

It was in 1999 that the major setback in the aftermarket products happened. It was the case of the State Farm versus the Avery where it involved the purchasing and using of the aftermarket products for the vehicle. State Farm was proven to be liable for damages worth more than $400 billion. Moreover, State Farm also gave a $730 billion worth of penalty for the other damages as well. 

Those who have filed for the petition said that the State Farm Mutual Auto Insurance Company never told them (the policyholders) that they are using aftermarket products that came from independent auto repair shops. This resulted in the violation of consumer fraud laws. Aside from that, the plaintiffs also claimed that the parts that were used did not restore the pre-cash condition of their automobiles as well. Therefore, the State Farm Mutual Auto Insurance Company did breach its contract with its policyholders. 
Because of this, many insurance companies have avoided the aftermarket vehicle parts after the case. As a result, the automakers have gained once again the captive market. The insurers, as well as the policyholders, weren’t able to save money. 

But just a few years after the State Farm case, the advocacy group called the Public Citizen spearheaded by Ralph Nadir claimed that the rule must be condemned. The monopoly of the OEMs truly does not serve the needs of customers. Instead, it cost the insurance companies which will be passed to their policyholders as well.

It is likely, however, that insurers will be wary of using aftermarket parts in the near future unless more judgments are overturned or there is legislation clearing the way for aftermarket parts. CAPA produced model legislation introduced by the National Council of Insurance Legislators in 2002. That legislation was tabled, so the status quo remains for now. Were this legislation passed, CAPA says, it would protect the public from both an expensive monopoly and substandard parts.

There are no definite day or time that a severe weather can strike. The way you drive during these conditions has a big difference between pulling over as you wait for the tow truck to pick you up and going home safely because you are a cautious driver. Although you probably have your car insurance, it is still advisable that you should not use it and prevent yourself from any accidents on the road. 

Below are some of the tips that you can use when driving under severe weather conditions:
 
During the winter season, the road may be covered with snow and ice. This is actually one of the most challenging road conditions since the road can be very slippery on the said season. Before driving, you must see to it that you take the ice off of your window and clean it. This would actually help you improve your vision of the road. You will then put your defensive driving skills into use. You must also make sure that you drive on a slow speed and see to it that you maintain it that way. On the other hand, when driving in a road with deep snow, drive at a speed that is fast enough to help you keep the car’s momentum. You should also be certain that you can still take control of your vehicle while doing so. If you will be passing areas like an overpass or a bridge, try to reduce your speed. More often than not, these areas accumulate ice. This may result in changing the vehicle’s direction or speed causing road accidents. 

Meanwhile, if you really have to drive under a very foggy condition, you should always drive on the right side of the lane. Moreover, you headlights must be in low beam only while you drive. If in case you are really having a hard time seeing the road, it would be best if you would just pull over. Wait until the visibility of the road improves. And when pulling over, stay at the far right side of the road so that you are far from the traffic lane. Turn on the hazard lights as well so that other drivers will still see you and avoid you. 

Lastly, extreme wind and rain can also be troublesome for everyone who is on the road. Big vehicles or the so-called high profile vehicles including the motor home, RV, and trailer homes are not advised to travel during this extreme weather condition. They can start rolling on the roads again when the wind has died down. These vehicles are in a great risk of being overtaken by the great wind and may be a threat in the safety of the driver as well as the passengers inside. 

When it rains, you must take extra caution when driving. The rain water will not only make the road slippery. It will also mix with the common dirt and vehicle oils that can be found on the road. Just keep driving in a speed that would still maintain a contact between the surface of the road and your tires.
