In this state we need comprehensive auto insurance reform," he continued. "I believe offering consumers a choice on their level of personal injury protection coverage is a positive first step in that direction. "It's simply a bread and butter issue," said Rev. [Horace Sheffield]. "People should not have to be put in a position where they are breaking the law to drive to work or take their kids to school." "The bottom line is we are working to save drivers money," [Virgil Smith] said. "This is something we can do right now." The coalition went public April 28 with an announcement at the Detroit Urban League with supporters Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, Sen. Alan Sanborn, R-Richmond; Rep. Virgil Smith m, D-Detroit; Detroit Urban League president N. Charles Anderson, community...
Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Florida Chief Financial Officer, Alex Sink, agree that there will be a lot of problems for average "Joe Citizen" if the legislature allows Florida's no-fault auto insurance law to expire Oct. 1. The law requires that drivers have $10,000 in personal-injury protection (PIP) coverage. This is the same coverage that you hear some attorneys on TV say they can get for you - even though you already pay for it. If you drive a car in Florida, you have to have insurance. If you have insurance (as the law stands now), you have PIP. PIP pays for medical expenses, a portion of wage loss up to a maximum of $10,000. The PIP requirement will sunset in October of this year, which means the legislature will need to address this issue during the next special session sch...
An insurance company does not run afoul of the law or public policy by requiring notice, in writing, if an insured wants to reinstate Personal Injury Protection coverage that was previously waived, the Court of Appeals held Friday. Renewing an auto insurance policy or adding new vehicles to it does not operate as a matter of law to withdraw a prior waiver, the court said, affirming a ruling by a Baltimore County circuit judge.

Commercial umbrella (aka excess) liability insurance is an important source of protection that supplements the limits of an insured's underlying policies such as general liability, automobile liability, and employers liability. Umbrellas also protect insureds from exclusions and gaps that exist in their primary liability insurance. A typical commercial umbrella liability policy offers features such as worldwide coverage; personal injury coverage; blanket contractual liability protection (for both written and oral agreements); care, custody, and control coverage; non-owned aircraft liability; watercraft liability; advertisers liability; liquor law liability; XCU liability; and an extension of protection to additional insureds. The domestic market for umbrella liability insurance is large...
Costly automobile insurance plans are caused by insurance companies and regulators. Although states have adopted plans to respond equally to ensured drivers, accident victims and insurance companies, automobile insurance seemed to be an inescapable problem. As a result, the federal government has empowered congress through the legislation of the Auto Choice Reform Act. Under this program, drivers can have the choice to enroll in a personal protection insurance instead of depending on a problematic traditional bodily injury coverage.
The current barrage of media advertising by automobile insurers, including insurance companies, brokers and agencies, raises concerns about limited knowledge on the part of the audience and whether comparison price quotes apply to the same coverages and limits. Clearly, insurance buyers need to be informed. Insurance providers have an obligation to help insureds and prospective buyers understand both the scope of coverages and their costs. A brief review of the scope of individual coverages follows: 1. bodily injury liability, 2. property damage liability, 3. personal injury (no-fault) protection, 4. medical payments coverage, 5. uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, 6. collision coverage, and 7. comprehensive (other than collision) coverage. It is important to quote premiums based ...

WEST TRENTON -- New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Co., the state's largest personal auto insurer, said Wednesday it will send $48.5 million in special dividend checks averaging more than $107 each to 406,000 customers in the coming weeks. The insurer, which shares profits with its policyholders, said the checks are equal to 7.5 percent of annual premiums paid for policies that began in 2008, excluding premiums paid for personal injury protection and no-fault medical coverage.
Colorado's switch from no-fault automobile insurance to a tort system last summer has some holistic health care practitioners running for the hills - or out of the hills. Some chiropractors have left Colorado, and some acupuncturists, personal trainers and massage therapists are surviving on cash-only customers. Under the former no-fault system's personal injury protection, auto-accident victims were guaranteed $100,000 in medical and rehabilitative coverage. Under the tort system, drivers are required to carry a minimum of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident in bodily liability coverage and a minimum of $15,000 in property damage liability. The tort system requires liability coverage but drivers are vulnerable if they are at fault and not covered by Med- Pay or a health insura...
