Insurance Council advice for clients after torrential rains in South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales.

Posted by Dustin Reed \\ Jan 25, 2012

The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) has said insurance companies are more prepared after the devastating weather of 2011. Director Robert Whelan has reported that home owners and businesses can expect a ‘prompt response’ from there insurers stating that insurers were ready and “expecting several thousand inquiries and claims for damage to homes, businesses and vehicles”.

Many of the Insurance companies have implemented 24 hour hot lines to help those affected by the extensive rain fall as quickly as possible. The insurance council has also released some tips for policyholders to ensure a speedy claims process including:

- Contacting your insurance provider as quickly as possible to confirm what you are covered for
– Take photos and make lists of damaged and destroyed house goods of your home and contents and be sure to include brands and serial numbers

Mr Whelan has urged policy holders not to fret if they do not hold a copy of their policy, as insurance companies will have electronic copies of the required information.

Areas of Northern New South Whales (Chinderah) and South East Queensland (Tweed Heads) have been evacuated as well as several road blockages along the east coast. Evacuees and motorists have been urged to take precaution when returning to their properties, and only to do so when announced safe by authorities.

The Key to Key Man Insurance

Posted by Dustin Reed \\ Jan 15, 2012

Unless you’re a sole proprietor, your business probably relies on certain individuals to run it effectively and efficiently. Employees might like to think they are all equally valuable, but certain employees can be more important to a business’s bottom line than others—and without those individuals,

Unless you’re a sole proprietor, your business probably relies on certain individuals to run it effectively and efficiently. Employees might like to think they are all equally valuable, but certain employees can be more important to a business’s bottom line than others—and without those individuals, the business could suffer. If you are a business owner, you need to evaluate what kind of financial loss would occur if a key employee were to die or become disabled.

In a situation like this, what is known as “key man insurance”—also called “key person coverage,” “key executive coverage,” or “key employee coverage”—can help cover some of the loss. Key man insurance is a life insurance and/or disability insurance policy secured by a business owner for protection in the event of the death or disability of a key employee.

To help determine if you or your business might benefit from key man insurance, ask yourself the following questions:

  • Are your key employees involved in sales, management, or administration?
  • What kind of annual revenue do they generate?
  • How much money would it take to find and train a new person of their caliber?

Benefits of key man insurance

When a key employee, executive, or officer of a company dies or becomes disabled, the business may suffer from the loss of that person’s vital management skills. This could result in a period of lackluster sales and lowered productivity. Key man insurance provides funds to stabilize a company during this transitional period.

Business owners can also use key man insurance to supplement life and disability insurance to protect their business. The business owns and pays for the policy, and it is also the beneficiary, while the employee is the insured. The premium payments are not tax deductible.

Discuss with your agent and your tax advisor the most effective types of life and disability insurance policies based on your business and its relationship with the key employee. The age of your employees and your field of work can affect the strength of the disability policy your business will require.

Your business is your livelihood. Don’t risk the devastating financial ramifications that could happen with the loss of a key employee. Instead, look into spending a small premium for key man insurance that can provide a lump sum of money to help stabilize and save your business if you need it.

Americans not satisfied with financial conditions

Posted by Kristin Collins \\ Jan 12, 2012

A recent report from Gallup highlighted declining satisfaction among Americans, led by concerns about the economy and personal finance.

According to Gallup, an average of 17 percent of Americans (polls conducted throughout 2011) said they were satisfied with the way things are going in the United States.

This is a slight increase from the 15 percent mark seen in 2008 but is far below the 60 percent approval recorded in the year 2000.

The 17 percent average mark includes lows of 11 percent satisfaction observed in in August and September polls all the up to the 26 percent mark seen in May. The all-time low mark of 7 percent occurred in mid-October 2008, Gallup said.

In the most recent Gallup poll measuring satisfaction conducted December 15-18, 2011 64 percent of Americans mentioned the economy in some way, shape or form as the most important problem facing the country. More specifically, 26 percent of respondents mentioned the economy in general as the most important problem, while 25 percent noted unemployment as a major concern.

A separate poll from Gallup (conducted November 28 December 1, 2011) revealed that Americans have soured on their personal finance situations, although overall satisfaction is down only a bit compared to 1998.

In the latest poll 50 percent of respondents declared satisfaction with financial net worth or savings and 64 percent were satisfied with family or household income.

These two marks stood at 56 percent and 70 percent, respectively, in 1998.

Suncorp Update Market on Melbourne hailstorm and Christchurch earthquake

Posted by Dustin Reed \\ Jan 11, 2012

Suncorp Group Limited today provided preliminary estimates of the financial impacts of the recent Melbourne hailstorm and Christchurch earthquake.
Both events occurred over the Christmas holiday period, impacting claims lodgement and assessment. Therefore, the expected financial impacts may vary as claims are finalised.
The Melbourne hailstorm on 25 December 2011 caused widespread damage across residential areas in the city’s northern suburbs and is expected to cost $200 million to $250 million. Suncorp’s reinsurance arrangements provide protection should the cost of this event exceed $250 million.
Around 28,000 claims have been received across Suncorp’s personal and commercial insurance brands to date, with about two-thirds of these being for damage to vehicles and the remainder for other property damage.
The Christchurch earthquake on 23 December 2011 is expected to cost between A$10 million (NZ$13 million) and A$20 million (NZ$26 million).
Suncorp expects its natural hazard costs for the six months to 31 December 2011 to be in the range of $360 million and $420 million. This is $120 million to $180 million above the $240 million natural hazard allowance for the period.
Group chief executive Patrick Snowball said the priority at this stage was assisting customers and Suncorp’s major claims event capabilities had been activated to ensure this occurred.

Suncorp includes leading general insurance, banking, life insurance, superannuation and investment brands in Australia and New Zealand. The Group has around 16,000 employees and relationships with nine million customers. It is a Top 25 ASX listed company with over $95 billion in assets.

Getting Appropriate Tallahassee Auto Insurance

Posted by Amanda Mitchell \\ Jan 05, 2012

Purchasing a Tallahassee auto insurance policy for your car can be as scary and uneasy as getting the car itself! If you know what you are hunting for though, and have some good advice on finding a large amount, youre sure to get just what you require. This article will present you with that knowledge.

For those that will be going away to college and will not be taking their cars, it is important to know that you may be able to receive a discount on your insurance. Most insurance companies provide discounts when you are not going to use your car for extended periods of time.

Stay out of the gap. If you have more financed on your car than it is worth, if your down payment is less than twenty percent, or if you lease, you should add Gap Coverage onto your auto insurance policy. The Gap Coverage will cover the additional amount, over the worth, if you total your car or it gets stolen, and the entire amount of the loan will be paid off.

If you have a good credit rating, there is a pretty good chance that your automobile insurance premium will be cheaper. Insurance companies are starting to use your credit report as part for calculating your insurance premium. If you have a favorable credit report, you will not need to bother about the increase in price.

Keep your insurance up-to-date with who is actually driving your car. A great deal of parents forget to take their children off of their insurance even though they have moved out and gotten coverage of their own. The more drivers on your policy the more you are paying so be certain and keep it current.

So there it is. The 411 on getting your Tallahassee auto insurance all straightened out. Whether you are a new driver or a seasoned pro, insurance is something that we all have to have. Make the most of it by getting a great policy at a great price and using it wisely.

Pools and Hot Tubs: What Kind of Homeowners Insurance Do You Need?

Posted by Dustin Reed \\ Dec 15, 2011

Pools and Hot Tubs: What Kind of Homeowners Insurance Do You Need? Linda Rey

Have you ever heard the term “attractive nuisance”? It sounds like an oxymoron, and it is definitely one of those insurance terms that seems to not make a lot of sense, but it covers a very serious issue.

The attractive nuisance doctrine states that a homeowner can be held liable for a child trespassing on the property and then being injured by something that is attractive to that child with risks the child does not understand. That includes pools and hot tubs. That said, planning for your summer fun by working with your insurance agent will ensure that you are protected appropriately in case any incidents occur.

What does your homeowners insurance cover if you have a pool or hot tub?

The great thing about homeowners insurance is that it does not specifically exclude pools and hot tubs—which means you are covered in the event of an accident in either one. However, you still should purchase the highest limit your homeowner policy will allow. As part of the underwriting process, the homeowner policy does face a higher premium due to the higher risk of an accident that could occur in a home that has a pool versus a home that doesn’t have one.

It is important to be aware that homeowners insurance does not protect against physical damage to a pool or hot tub unless your policy has been specially written to include this coverage; you are only covered in the event of bodily injury to a guest (a non-resident of the household).

Higher risk equals higher premium I enjoy the debate that people engage in when complaining about any increased premium that must be endured as a result of a lifestyle choice. Underwriting involves evaluating risks that could result in an accident or incident, based on studies and statistics researched by the insurance companies. A policyholder with teenagers or a certain breed of dog, for example, has a higher risk of accidents than someone who does not have these same concerns in their home.

This also goes for someone with a pool or hot tub on the property; according to the Center for Disease Control and Protection (CDC), drowning is the second leading cause of death for children under the age of 14. Therefore, if you choose to have a pool or hot tub, you can expect to pay a higher premium to balance out the risks.

Purchase an umbrella liability policy for additional protection

As a homeowner with a pool or hot tub, it’s not a question of if you should have an umbrella liability policy but rather how high the insurance coverage of your umbrella policy is. The umbrella policy may include a higher premium for having a pool, but it is money well spent.

I’m not saying insurance companies are always right, but there is a great benefit in having an agent on your side to assist in clarifying and qualifying your insurance portfolio. Without proper insurance coverage for your pool or hot tub, you could be underinsured or even completely uninsured. Make sure you take the time to discuss with your agent any questions or concerns you may have.

UK drivers Europe’s “bad Samaritans”

Posted by Amanda Mitchell \\ Dec 09, 2011

UK drivers are the least likely among European neighbours to help fellow motorists in distress, an AXA survey has found.

The French insurer has labeled Britain a nation of bad Samaritans because just 6% of Brits questioned said they would always stop and ask a motorist who has broken down if they need help.

In contrast, 40% of Spanish, 38% of Germans, 21% of Dutch, and 20% of French would step up, and while overall fewer women than men would offer to help, the gender gap is at its greatest in the UK.

Natural reserve may be partly to blame as if asked to help push start a car, 28% of Brits said they would respond positively although compared to other nationalities, the proportion is still low with 66% of Germans, 62% of Spanish, and 52% of Dutch and French prepared to roll up their sleeves.

A similar pattern emerges if a car break-in looks to be in progress: 83% of Brits would call the police compared with 97% of Spanish, 95% of Germans, 91% of Dutch, and 87% of French.

However, when it comes to providing cash for a motorist in distress the figures level out, with just 4% of Brits and Germans, 3% of Spanish and French, and 2% of Dutch happy to hand over petrol money to get a fellow motorist moving.

CGU Add Automatic Flood Cover to Home, Content and Landlord Policies

Posted by Dustin Reed \\ Dec 09, 2011

   

From February 2012, CGU’s home, contents and landlords policies will automatically include cover for flood on renewal, ensuring its customers are fully covered in the event of storm or flood water damage to their home.  This will also speed up the claims process by removing the need for complex assessments.

“Our customers and intermediaries have told us that automatically including flood cover in our policies will remove ambiguity when a property is damaged by storm or flood water and give them increased
certainty and peace of mind,” said Peter Harmer, CEO, CGU Insurance. CGU has been able to introduce flood cover due to recently improved access to flood mapping data from local councils and state governments and a commitment from Federal Government to developing a central, consistent source of flood mapping data.
