Why Is Insurance Necessary?

Insurance did not cover risks. It is beneficial to policyholders because it provides them financial security to recover from loss. When buying an insurance policy, a person is essentially declaring that he is willing to pay a certain amount of money to ensure that, should a specific, usually financially injurious event transpire, she or her loved ones would be financially cared for. In many cases, buying insurance prevents a bad situation from becoming much worse. For instance, health insurance can save a person�s life by allowing him access to life-saving medical treatments that would otherwise be unaffordable.

Insurance also help in  retirement plan. We all need to make investments to insure our financial futures. There is no question that, on a very basic level, financial planning tools and knowledge are needs of both genders. But these tools and knowledge need to be used differently by women.

Women face some basic realities which are very different than those faced by men

Women still earn 52% less than men doing comparable jobs in the workplace;

Women live an average of 7 years longer than men;

Almost 20% of women are saving nothing for retirement;

Over 61% of women living alone after age 65 have incomes under $15,000;

71% of women over the age of 65 have no pension;

The median annual income for women with a pension is less than $5,000;

Over 58% of female baby boomers have less than $10,000 saved in a pension plan or 401(k) plan;

57% of women aged 65 and older are single;

33% of widowed women become widows by age 50 and nearly 46% are widowed before age 65;

72% of nursing home residents are women;

Women have a much greater need than men to address their financial futures, simply because they are likely to live longer. Women need to look at and respond to that reality. Women need to take control and design their own financial futures.

UK Law Reform

The Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission are conducting a joint review of insurance contract law. The third consultation on the insured�s duty of disclosure and law of warranties was published on 26 June 2012.

Under current law, a business policyholder has a duty to disclose every material fact known about the risk to be insured. Failure to do so may lead the insurer to refuse claims.  In some cases, not every material fact is known.  Information may not be deliberately withheld.  The proposal is that insurers ask the relevant questions to help ensure that every material fact is disclosed. Fairer consequences of breaches where the policyholder was not deliberately misleading are also being proposed.

An insurance warranty is an important term.  Unless the insured exactly complies with the conditions of a policy, the insurer may refuse claims.  It makes no difference if the breach is trivial, not material to the risk or if the policyholder remedies the breach prior to the loss incurred.

For example if a policy requires stock to be stored 6 inches off the floor to minimise flood damage and the insured does not comply, the insurer may not pay a claim following a burglary.

Proposals include that the insurer�s liability is suspended only for the duration of the breach and were applicable be relevant to the particular risk only. This would be subject to freedom of contract for business insurance.

Get in touch, talk through your insurance needs, and make sure you and your business are covered by the right policies.

7 Reasons Why Insurance Companies Don�t Pay Claims

I hope that you have never been in the position to have an insurance claim refused.  If you have, it was probably for one of the following reasons:

1)          The claim was outside the scope of the policy.

                Your policy will only cover the risk specified.  It is important to consider all your risks carefully.  Those you cannot manage or eliminate, you need to insure.

2)          You failed to comply with the terms of the policy.

                There will be certain conditions you will have to meet in order for an insurance company to underwrite your risk.  No company is going to insure a building that has open fires burning in the centre of a warehouse full of flammable stock.  An extreme example I know but it is important to know that your policy is not being invalidated by something you are doing now.

3)          Your policy does not include consequential loss.

                Make sure your policy covers all the risk of any incident.  Particularly consider your ability to continue trading after a major incident.  Your buildings and contents may be insured but how will you remain in business if you have no means of doing business anymore?

4)          You gave false statements when you applied for insurance.

                Your insurance company will only insure what is real.  Lie and the policy will be void.

5)          You failed to pay your premium on time.

                Sounds obvious but you are not insured unless you pay the insurance premium.  Yes, you may feel being a few days late does not matter but if you have not paid your premium you are simply not insured.

6)          You take too long to report the claim.

                Make the claim as soon as possible. 

7)          You failed to disclose all relevant facts.

                Over 11 per cent of corporate insurance buyers have had a claim challenged on non-disclosure grounds in the last two years. Insurance policies are one of only a few contracts in which uberrima fides �utmost good faith� applies.  It is important you inform your insurance broker of all relevant information.

I�ll help with any claims, ensure the paperwork is correct and with the insurance company in good time.
