How do you calculate amount of insurance claim for goods lost in fire?

The ultimate answer depends upon whether the policy was issued on an "actual cash value"(ACV) basis or on a "replacement cost" basis. ACV takes into account the make, model, age and condition of the item in calculating value. In essence, it pays the depreciated value of the items. Replacement cost coverage generally pays for the replacement of a "like kind and quality" item at then-current prices.

All of this assumes that the fire was a covered cause of loss and that the insurer asserts no coverage defenses.

Whole life is more costly but the premium remains the same over its life. It also has a "savings" element, otherwise called "cash value".

As to online quotes, most major life insurers have websites through which you can request quotes. There also exist brokers of life insurance that represent many insurers and that profess to submit your application to many of them to get the best premium. Keep in mind that these are very impersonal operations and do not take into account your personal needs for life insurance protection or give any advice-they strictly get you prices and submit applications.

Regardless of whether you use an online quoting service or an individual agent, be certain to answer all application questions honestly. These pertain to, among other things, to age, health history, occupation, and other factors that enter into pricing. If you are buying life insurance for the first time, there is much to be said for getting the advide of a licensed agent, or a financial planner, so that you can work insurance into the entirety of your financial plan.

Does an auto policy cover punitive damages?

Liability insurance is intended to answer for essentially simple negligence (carelessness). Punitive damages, when awarded, are based upon the idea that the wrongdoer's acts were intentional, malicious, willful or egregious. In the context of an auto collision, drunk driving sometimes comes within that definition. Therefore, liability insurance does not. strictly speaking, cover the punitive element of the damages that may be awarded.

However, usually prior to a trial, the parties will attempt to settle the dispute. If there is a reasonable expectation that punitive damages could be awarded, the verdict would be "excess" over the policy limits of the insurance policy. An insurer has the obligation to settle the case, if possible, within the policy limits, so as to avoid exposing its insured to an excess verdict. The insurer may therefore offer the full policy limits despite the fact that the injury would not otherwise be worth that much money. In that very limited sense, the insurer might be said to be paying punitive damages because it is paying more than it ordinarily would. All of this is very specifically fact-driven and should not be taken, and is not intended, as legal advice.

What companies sell car colission reports to consumers and insurance companies?

There is a company who supplies information to insurance companies called CLUE.

CLUE also supplies companies with a variety of information. It gives information like people who had auto insurance at the same address as you have and people who were listed on insurance policies of you in the past like other household members or drivers.

Does the owner have any liability if the cosigner of a vehicle has an accident and is not on the insurance?

Certainly. The owner of the vehicle has liability in many different ways. First, the owner of the vehicle is allowing the co-signer to drive the vehicle without listing them on the insurance as a driver. In this, the owner has committed insurance fraud and material misrepresentation against the insurance company. The insurance company therefore has a reasonable cause to deny all coverage for the accident. Now the owner will have liability to the other party in the accident for all their damages, lost wages, and/or injuries. The owner will have full liability for the repayment of the loan even though the vehicle is damaged or totaled because the insurance company has no responsibility to pay for said damages because the owner lied on the insurance application. The application and policy clearly states that the owner will notify the insurance company of any and all household members and drivers. By not doing this you have committed fraud. An insurance application and policy make up a legally bind contract which binds both parties to certain requirements under the contract terms. The policyholder is required to pay premiums and be truthful on the application and thereafter letting the company know of drivers, locations, household members, etc. and the company has a requirement to pay claims. If one party doesn't fulfill their part the other party is also not required to fulfill the other part of the contract as the contract is void.

Is a 2009 Chevy Cobalt LS considered a sports car to the insurance companies?

Every insurance company maintains its own set of underwriting guidelines. These define the metes and bounds of the risks that they will insure and under what terms. Sports car status is one of them as to auto insurance. Therefore, it is not possible to answer the question in more specific terms as to car like this. You should contact licensed insurance agents to determine the insurers that they represent and the underwriting guidelines of them.

I can say without hesitation that the Chevy Cobalt is no Sports Car, not even close and no insurance company would consider it one. It does not even come close to the definition of a Sports Car. However only an insurance company can tell you what the insurance costs will be for this car.

What are the underwriting considerations in insurance?

In general, underwriting involves the assessment of risks. Insurance companies have "underwriting guidelines" that define the metes and bounds of the risks they are willing to accept. Those metes and bounds are defined, in turn, by the type of insurance that the insurer issues. That is, the underwriting considerations for a life insurance company involve factors such as age and health, whereas underwriting considerations for an insurer that issues automobile physical damage coverage involves considerations such as make and model of the auto, where the auto is principally kept, number of miles driven, and driving history. The totality of the underwriting factors, in part, determine the premium that the insurer will charge for the insurance.
