Insurance companies run on the predictions made by the actuaries and data-backed information. They make profits only if they get more premiums than the insurance claims filed by the public. They are allowed to use certain criteria based on what they think would be suitable for them. So, if any particular area in a given territory is forcing them to incur losses, they are free to charge more in terms of premiums and be profitable again. However, this has been the bone of contention between insurance policymakers and law but they seem to have won the […]

Personal injury protection (PIP), also known as “no-fault insurance” in US (applicable to no-fault states)  is a component of an automobile insurance plan that covers the medical expenses of the insured and passengers associated with a car accident. PIP covers medical expenses for both injured policyholders and passengers, even if some don’t have health insurance. PIP is mandatory in no-fault states. In those states where it is not mandatory, insurer will not pay for the medical expenses of the insured and passengers, so in such a case a separate accident policy can be taken by the […]

Like if your deductible is US $300 and your claim is US $2000, company will ask you to pay US $300 and then the rest will be paid by the company. Once you pay your deductible the insurance company will pay you the rest of the claim value up to the policy limits.

A deductible protects the insurance company against unnecessary and large number of small claims (hence saving paper work, time and money). This also ensures that people […]
