What does personal injury protection mean?

Personal Injury protection, Also referred to as PIP, is first party medical coverage on your Auto Insurance Policy for injury sustained in an auto accident.

Types of life insurance policy?

There are two basic types of life insurance policies - Term and Permanent.

Term life insurance usually provides protection for a period of 1-30 years, provided that premiums are timely paid and the policy does not lapse. The standard terms (duration of coverage) are 10, 15, 20, or 30 years.

Term life insurance is "pure protection", in that there is no investment or cash build up within the policy. If you outlive the term of your policy, your coverage expires. Stated otherwise, it is the equivalent of "renting" rather than "buying" the protection (as in the case of whole life, where there is "equity" accumulation by way of cash value).

Permanent life insurance usually costs substantially more than term life insurance, depending on your age and health factors.

A mix of the two types of insurance is often a good idea to account for various life stages. Because term insurance has become relatively inexpensive, many recommend "loading up" on it when one has a young family and when the need for the benefits, in case of untimely death, is greatest.

Term insurance can be purchased with a variety of options, including the option to convert all or part of it to whole life at various point in time. While the premium will increase with the conversion, ordinarily it will be done without regard to then-current health condition. Another fairly common option is waiver of premium, which essentially provides that future premium payments will be waived when the insured becomes disabled (as "disabled" is defined in the policy). There will be an additional premium for these options.

Yes, you can register a car if the title is in someone elses name. The title is a record of the owner - the registration is a record of the driver - and in many cases these may be different people, for example, a mom letting her son borrow a car for college, borrowing a friends car for an extended time, husband and wife, etc.

Different states require different things to do this, in my state, I borrowed a friends car for over a year and walked right in to the DMV and registered it no problem. Some states require a signed document by the title holder, or some states require the registrant and title holder to go to the DMV together. Some states will allow more than on registrant on a car registration, such as a husband and wife or two roommates sharing a car.

If a vehicle crashes into the back of me do you lose your no claims bonus?

If the driver of the vehicle who crashed into you has insurance, you would file a claim with his or her insurance company, not your own, and this should not jeopardize your no claims bonus. However, if the driver is uninsured, and you elect to seek redress from your own company, this may jeopardize the bonus. Check with your agent to be sure: policies vary from company to company and sometimes from policy to policy.
