My husband is a rider on my life insurance policy if he dies before me what do I do?

I don't understand what you mean by ''he is a rider'', do you mean he is the named beneficiary? If so and he dies prior to you, you need to name another beneficiary, or perhaps you already have a 'second' or contingent beneficiary, in that case the money would be paid to this contengient if the primary beneficary is deceased.


What does primary and non contributing really mean in regards to general liability insurance coverage?

It means that whoever states their insurance is Primary, it's really Primary regardless of who is at fault. For example, the subcontractors insurance is usually primary over the GCs insurance. This means that if the sub has a claim and in all reality it's the GC's fault, but the sub listed their insurance as primary, then the subs insurance is paying first no matter what. Primary means just that, the insurance listed is PRIMARY, regardless of fault. www.mac2insure.com
