    Florida Gov. Scott Says Auto Insurance Fix Is Legislative Priority 12/21/2011
    0 Comments
     



    Gov. Rick Scott wants lawmakers to fix an auto insurance issue that is costing Floridians millions of dollars but have eluded resolution for more than a decade.
    The issue facing the largest number of Floridians is the rising cost of personal injury protection or PIP coverage that licensed drivers must buy. In some neighborhoods in the Tampa Bay area and South Florida the coverage can add several hundred dollars annually to auto insurance premiums, a cost that’s almost entirely the result of rampant fraud.

    Construction is a risky business. One-half of all construction firms in business today will be out of business six years from now, according to the Associated General Contractors of America. An economic downturn, labor difficulties, material shortages, equipment problems, and a host of many other problems can cause a contractor's business to fail -- leaving projects at a standstill.

    It’s true: The young are often underinsured, while retirees may be overinsured 09/03/2011

    It’s true: The young are often underinsured, while retirees may be overinsured

    Most of us should “outgrow’’ our need for life insurance as we approach retirement. Research has shown that young couples are usually underinsured, while couples in their 50s and older are overinsured.

    One of the better uses for a life insurance policy that is no longer needed as life insurance is as a substitute for long-term-care insurance — while the money is not available until the person needing long-term care dies, a life insurance death benefit can help replace assets lost while caring for the spouse in long- term care. It can also be used to replace some of an inheritance that has been lost to long-term-care expenses.

    OptaComp has a business model which is pro-injured worker, pro-employer and pro-clinician. It is designed to drive optimal outcomes in both human and financial terms. We don't take the usual approach of producing results for one party at the expense of another.

    The key difference is criteria-based decision making supported by a core set of principles. We take the time to pre-define and align goals with the employer and clinician up front, removing personal preference from decision-making throughout the process. We make sure everyone involved is aware of his or her role, responsibilities and actions.

    OptaComp brings a person-to-person perspective to the process, where everything is viewed on an individual basis and every step and contact is proactive and integrated under one roof at OptaComp. We successfully manage and reduce total program costs, which positively impact the customer's financial bottom line. Get a quote today.

    Top 5 Economic Changes by You That Could Affect Your Auto Insurance 06/08/2011
    0 Comments
     




    Hi Folks:
    Relocation: Where insureds live can impact premium, depending on crime statistics in the area. Garage versus street parking can also impact premium.
    Changing Vehicles: Whether purchasing a less expensive or more expensivecar, looking for a hybrid to save on gas, paying off a current vehicle, or purchasing a “starter” car for a teenage driver, insureds should expect car insurance rate changes. The make and model of a car affects a premium.
    Changing Jobs: Some consumers now have a longer or shorter commute after turning to occupations they could do from home, or relocating for a job.
    Driving Less: Since a car insurance premium is partially based on annual mileage, driving less equals paying less.
    Damaged Credit Score:  Whether consumers have fallen behind on bills or made a purchase they could not afford later, financial decisions that affect credit-based insurance scores may impact insurance rates. Most states allow insurers to use certain elements of credit history as one of several factors to predict the likelihood of future losses. Having a poor credit-based insurance score can result in higher premiums or, in some cases, the inability to secure insurance through some carriers.

    Banks Will Impose Home Insurance on Mortgaged Property! 05/04/2011

    Hi Folks:
    The insurance that a mortgage company buys when it believes the owners of a house no longer have insurance on the property is called “force-placed insurance”. Double check your home insurance and/or flood policy renewal date. Don't let a mistake cost you a bundle.
