What is the difference between a Named perils insurance policy and an All risk insurance policy?

Standard Homeowners Policy Verses All Risk Policies

Most Homeowners Insurance Policies are "Named Risk". They list all the covered perils for which the Insurance company will offer coverage. So If It is not on the list, It basically is not covered.

An All Risk Policy is just the opposite. It lists all the perils that are "not" covered, On these policies if it is not on the list, then it "is" covered.

Answer

A named perils policy only covers perils listed in the policy. For example, a named perils policy will usually cover an accidental fire loss at your home because fire is listed as a covered peril. However, lets say you have a water loss at your home when a water line breaks. If water loss is not listed as a covered peril under your policy, then you will have to pay for the damage yourself, which can be expensive. For a named peril policy you need to look at the the policy to see what perils are covered.

On the other hand, an all risk policy will cover any peril unless its specifically excluded under your policy. An all risk policy provides you more coverage than a named peril policy. For an all risk policy you will look to the Exclusions section of the policy to determine what is not covered. In the water loss example above, unless water losses are specifically excluded under the policy, the loss is covered.

An all risk policy will cost you more in premiums, but is worth the price.

What if you are insured on a car but a named driver has an accident will it effect my personal insurance quotes in future if i get insurance of my own?

Hi;

The answer in Ontario Canada, is yes. I believe the Canadian AND US insurance industries are united within this circumstance. The policy holder is responsible for everyone he/she accepts as second/subsequent drivers. If however YOU are the second driver named on a insured policy, and you opt to carry your own coverage, then it will not affect you as you are not the policy holder. A word from the wise. If you do not own the vehicle involved in the collision, then you are not held responsible as such.

If you really want it from the horses mouth, call your provincial/state insurance association. They have ALL the rules, and will probably be happy to send you a brochure of the r and r's.

Best regards,

Unidrv.

Full coverage insurance cost for 16 year old?

Unless you have alot of money don't get your 16 year old a car that will require full coverage. Even with good student discounts and longevity with an insurance company, you will likely pay 2000 to 4000 per year. And if they get into a wreck, might as well just get them a bike.

MY car was reposessed due to laps in your car insurance payment is there a difference in the length of time it stays on your record?

Repossession does not occur for lapses in insurance payments. The auto loan transaction and insurance transaction are completely separate. If you live in a no fault state, the lender may add insurance coverage to protect their interest in the vehicle, and this will be translated to you the borrower.

Now, that being said, no, there is no difference in the amount of time a debt remains on your credit report aside from whether it is seven years from last payment on a regular default (no judgment) or ten years for a defaulted account with a judgment securing it.

If you drive a car and have accident who is responsible you or the owner of the car?

What kind of insurance in needed for a new car?

This is somewhat complicated. Each state has laws designating minimal liability insurance. Liability insurance pays for the other vehicle if you were in an accident. Some states are "no fault" which basically means it doesnt matter who is at fault each driver just takes care of the others.

This is the legal required insurance.

If you finance a new car the lender will most often require you have comprehensive coverage to cover the value of your car. This protects the money they lent you.

So you need to look up your state's liability requirements and possibly meet the lender's requirements as well.

What is the average cost of car insurance group 4 in UK?

Hi

That's really an impossible question to answer without more information as each insurance risk is dependent on many factors, not just your vehicle group.

Where you live, your age, how long you've had your driving licence, any claims or convictions you've had and many other factors all go to calculate your car insurance premium.

How long does a Insurance Company have to provide a Insurance policy certified copy to the Insured after request?

They are not required to certify your copy of the policy. An Insurance declarations page (Policy Page) is already considered a legal document. I think most states will require that a copy be conveyed within 10 to 30 days depending on your state of residence.

Most companies will send a policy holders copy promptly on any request of their insured. Many companies now offer instant online policy access to insureds as well.

Can an insurance company put someone on your insurance without your permission?

Technically yes and no. While they can't actually add the driver, they can rate the insurance coverage as if that person would be driving a vehicle. For example, if you had a child who had just gotten their license, and you named them as an excluded driver of your vehicle, yet they somehow managed to get into a small wreck and have to file a claim, your insurance carrier would likely deny the claim on the basis that the driver was excluded, as well as rate your policy as if they were going to be driving the vehicle, without actually adding them.

Moral of the story... don't lie to your insurance company.

If you have fully comp insurance can someone else drive the car with your permission?

In most cases they can drive your vehicle but most insurance companies have restrictions on the age of the driver, usually 25 or older. It is best to check with your insurance company before letting someone else drive your vehicle.

What happens if you reach the Personal Injury Liability limits from a car accident?

I was hit on September 1st 2009 by someone who ran a red light. It took until Tuesday October 13th for her insurance to finally accept 100% liability. My truck took roughly 7,000 dollars in damages and I have been in a rental car since September 6th.

I have had an X-Ray, MRI, six weeks of physical therapy(3x a week), and started a series of three injections in my back over six weeks. The MRI revealed I had two freshly torn disc. I have had a previous back injury from 2004 that required surgery(2005) and the accident has also inflamed that area.

I have a lawyer and he mentioned that my medical could surpass her limit. At the moment we do not know what her limit is through Allstate. He mentioned I may have to claim uninsured motorist on my own insurance. I only have 25,000 coverage.

Here is my question. The lawyer said my case for future medical, pain and suffering, and lost time at work could be worth 75,000 to 100,000. The problem is my current medical/therapy could surpass both her limit and my uninsured limit leaving me with 0 for future bills, pain and suffering.

How can I proceed to get what is owed me if the limits are in fact surpassed?

How does car insurance cover parties in the car?

The Bodily Injury policy limits dictate how much coverage there is for the car in case of an accident that causes medical injuries. If the other party has $15K/$30K that means they have $15K in coverage for each person in the car but a maximum of $30K for all passengers. So if there are two people in the car they each have up to $15K to pay their medical bills, damages and pain and suffering. But if the car is full with 4 people then there is a maximum of $30K to cover everyone's medical bills, damages and pain and suffering.

The better policies have $100K/$300K which usually is enough to cover all damages.

If there are a lot of injuries and medical bills and $15K is not enough to cover them all then your uninsured motorist provision in your own policy can cover the excess. The uninsured policy has coverage built in for "UNDERINSURED" accidents when the driver at fault's policy limits are not high enough to cover all of the damages. Once you settle with the at fault driver's insurance company and receive a check for policy limits, in this case $15K, then you turn around and submit the same evidence of medical bills and damages and the check from the other insurance company to your insurance company. Depending on the state you are in you will be able to recover the balance that was unpaid from your own company. This underinsured claim will only work if your uninsured policy limits are higher than the other driver's limits. For example, if the other driver's limit is $25K and your uninsured limit is $100K and your medical bills are $100K then you could get up to $75K if you are in CA but if you are in NV you get up to $100K.

There is also property damage coverage to pay for repairs, loss of use of the car while it is being repaired (rental car bills) and any property that was damaged during the accident (sunglasses, cell phone, clothing).

Can you insure a vehicle that is not kept at your primary residence?
