Hiscox issues burst pipe advice

Story link: Hiscox issues burst pipe advice
Home and contents insurer Hiscox is advising home owners to be on the look out for burst pipes.
When the snow and ice begin to thaw leaks caused by burst pipes may become more noticeable, as water leaks into the property.
Hiscox home insurance expert Austyn Tusler explained that the unusually early onset of freezing conditions may have caught homeowners off-guard, and warned that there was still a long winter ahead of the UK.
If left, a leak can cause damage to a home’s structure, electrical wiring and belongings and catching them early saves not just money but also reduces the damage incurred.
Leaks can be identified by damp spots on ceilings and walls and if a tap is turned on and no water comes out (in which case the water supply should be turned off and a plumber called immediately).
Homeowners should also check exposed pipes and isolated areas such as lofts.
Earlier this week the Association of British Insurers (ABI) warned that frozen and burst pipes could cost as much as £650m, and urged homeowners to either keep their heating on or (if they are away for a porlonged period) draining the cold water system.
AXA: Flood risk home insurance subsidised by £511 a year

Story link: AXA: Flood risk home insurance subsidised by £511 a year
According to latest data published by AXA, household insurance for homes in high flood risk regions is being subsidised by £511 each year.
This means that homeowners in affected regions are only paying 42% of the true cost of insurance to protect their homes against flooding.
The latest data was published as part of an AXA Parliamentary Flooding event in Westminster on 30th November focusing on the UK’s flood defence strategy and funding debate.
The insurance subsidy issue arises through the operation of ‘The Statement of Principles’ – an agreement which obliges existing insurers to provide cover as long as the government continues to invest in an adequate flood defence programme, leaving new insurers to come into the market and cherry-pick lower risk customers.
David Williams, managing director, claims, AXA Insurance, said: “Many householders do not realise that flood insurance is heavily subsidised and discounted due to distortion in the insurance market brought about by the Statement of Principles.
“The real concern for home owners is that the Statement of Principles will not be renewed when it expires in 2013 which could impact on the availability and affordability of insurance in high flood risk regions.
“It is incumbent on government, the insurance industry and other key stakeholders to find a new way forward to share risk, recognising that flooding is likely to increase in the UK as weather patterns become more unpredictable and extreme.”
Government strategy and spend on flood protection focuses primarily on coastal and river flooding and does not adequately reflect the impact of surface water flooding which is responsible for significant flood damage and disruption to homes and businesses.
Latest statistics from the recent Cornwall floods back up AXA’s earlier findings in that around two-thirds of flood claims were caused by issues associated with surface water.
AXA maintains that surface water risk must be recognised as part of a comprehensive approach to flood protection.
With ABI figures indicating that 5.2 million homes in England are at risk of flooding, AXA is calling for a tightening of the existing legislation including a legally binding target for reducing the numbers at risk of flood.
David Williams added: “We believe there needs to be better coordination between organisations that have a critical role to play in flood risk mitigation and protection; the Flood and Water Management Act of 2010 is a good start but we feel it could be strengthened in certain areas – like giving an independent body (most likely the Environment Agency) the responsibility for auditing local authority performance against flood risk management plans.
“The need for certainty from government can only become more urgent as many areas of the UK face imminent flood risk with the UK in the grip of an early harsh winter.”
Guy Carpenter examines nat cat scenarios alongside Solvency II

Story link: Guy Carpenter examines nat cat scenarios alongside Solvency II
As part of its latest Solvency II update, Guy Carpenter has analysed the industry-wide impact of the natural catastrophe scenarios provided in QIS5, the European Commission’s fifth and most recent Quantitative Impact Study.
The reinsurance intermediary has also conducted its own analysis to measure the industry-wide impact of these scenarios and determine whether they are in line with current industry assumptions.
The scenarios include windstorm, flood, earthquake, hail and subsidence, and Guy Carpenter has proposed parameters seeking to define each at a level corresponding to a one-in-200 year loss.
Key findings are as follows:
On an aggregate level, the QIS5 scenarios were found to be roughly within the range of current industry models.
Most insurers will likely need to make adjustments to optimise their positioning and operations under the Solvency II regime.
In many European countries, the current market reinsurance limit, including catastrophe bonds and comparable structures, is below the amounts suggested by the QIS5 scenarios.
On average, companies buy reinsurance below the recommended one-in-200 return period in most countries.
The firm’s head of analytics EMEA Region, Claude Lefebvre, comments: “While our analysis provides useful QIS5-scenario loss metrics at the aggregate level, it is not enough to successfully position a company for the new Solvency II regulatory requirements.”
He adds: “This must be done on an individual basis, taking into account each company’s unique attributes, situation and strategy.”

Novae has announced that it intends to return approximately £32.9 million of capital to shareholders, equating to 45 pence per ordinary share.

The company is therefore transferring NICL’s in-force business to its Lloyd’s business and the surplus capital held by NICL is now available for redeployment in underwriting elsewhere in Novae, or for return to shareholders.
The return of capital is being made through an issue of B shares and C shares, combined with a consolidation of existing ordinary shares.

ABI keen to avoid burst pipes and leaking water

Story link: ABI keen to avoid burst pipes and leaking water
With Britain in the grip of freezing temperatures and snow, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has warned that damage caused by frozen and burst pipes and leaking water could top £650 million this winter.
The ABI is therefore advising householders to:
Ensure that loft water pipes and water tanks are insulated and know where the stopcock that turns off the incoming water supply is, and make sure that it works.
If away from the home on holiday or on a Christmas break ensure that that it is kept warm; if away for a long time it may be worth draining the cold water system.
If a pipe freezes, thaw it out using gentle heat such as towels soaked in warm water, or a hairdryer.
Remove furniture and carpet (where practical) near to the frozen pipe.
If a pipe bursts turn off the water at the stopcock and switch off the central heating to avoid further damage.
Open all taps to drain the system and contact your home insurer for advice.
Most insurers provide 24 hour emergency helplines that will arrange for repairs to be carried out as soon as possible.
The ABI’s director of general insurance and health, Nick Starling, says: “Freezing winter weather may have arrived early this year, but insurers are ready to deal with the misery and disruption it can cause.”
Last winter, which was the coldest for thirty years, insurers paid out £644 million to homeowners and firms following damage caused by escape of water.

Lloyd’s has opened a new office in Toronto, having been a leading provider of commercial insurance in the Canadian market for many years.
The expansion aims to build relationships and support Lloyd’s underwriters in Canada’s largest commercial centre.
Also this week, Lloyd’s has warned that it is important to know the enemy to understand the nature of the digital threat.
Technology and cyber liability underwriter at Ace European Group, Iain Ainslie, says: “They’re not just spotty teenagers sitting in their back bedrooms anymore … these are large-scale industries targeting companies and individuals.”
According to Mr Ainslie: “From organised criminal gangs designing malware to fraudulent employees in the midst of an organisation, the threat to digital systems and data can come from all directions.”
Lloyd’s senior IT manager, Marcus Alldrick, adds: “The big story this year was the Stuxnet computer worm, which attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities.”
Described as “one of the most refined pieces of malware ever discovered”, Mr Alldrick explains: “It was targeted at a specific control system but if you look behind it, it was very sophisticated and the analysts are now saying a lot of time, energy and money was spent designing, writing and flowing it out.”

Car Insurance When Renting a Vehicle
and fees that you will pay on top of the rental cost. As you are checking out, you will be asked whether or not you want an insurance policy
on your rental vehicle.
This question may throw you if you are not prepared for it, because the rental agency agents are quite good at making it sound like you need the coverage to save yourself thousands of dollars in the event of a crash. Do you need this coverage, or is it simply an additional cost to put more money in the rental agency 's pocket?
What Is Covered
Answering this question begins with understanding what is covered by the policy. This will vary from rental company to rental company, but there are usually some similarities to these insurance policies. There are four basic types of coverage: loss damage waiver, liability insurance, personal accident insurance, and personal effects coverage.
Loss damage waiver covers your liability for damage to the vehicle if it is in a collision. This is not actually an insurance product, because it does not pay for the damage. Instead, it takes the liability for the damage off of you, as the renter, even if you caused the crash. The rental company 's insurance will cover the damage to the vehicle. Some exclusions apply to the waiver, such as accidents caused by off-roading, drunk driving, or speeding. This waiver will also usually protect you from being charged for the loss of use that the rental company suffers while making repairs to the vehicle.
Rental cars automatically come with some liability insurance, because the state law will require it. However, the protection is minimal. Because most drivers need more liability coverage than what comes with the vehicle, rental agencies offer liability insurance.
If you or your passengers are injured in a crash while driving the vehicle, your medical care could be covered under personal accident insurance. This is fairly affordable to add to your policy. However, you likely do not need it if you have health insurance.
Personal effects coverage, the final type of coverage, will pay for any theft of the things you are transporting in the rental car. Keep in mind that your homeowner 's or renter 's insurance policy probably already covers the theft of personal belongings, even while traveling.
Do You Need Insurance When Renting a Car
Before you sign up for the car rental company 's insurance policy, make sure you really need it. Some of the insurance products you already own may cover the same things that these insurance products will cover. Before you head out for your trip, call your insurance agent and find out what type of coverage you have when renting a vehicle. If you have collision and comprehensive coverage, you are probably already covered for a rental. However, if you only have liability coverage, you may want to consider purchasing the loss damage waiver when renting a car. When you call your insurance agent, find out if loss of use, towing, and administrative charges are covered if you were to wreck the rental.
Another place to look for existing coverage is with your credit card company. Many credit card companies that offer rewards programs automatically insure the rental cars rented with that card. This coverage is usually only for the rental vehicle itself, not for the people in it or the other vehicles on the road. However, this coverage combined with your existing liability policy and health insurance plan may be all that you need.
If after checking these two sources you do not feel that you have adequate coverage, then consider purchasing the insurance. While a crash is not that likely to occur while you are driving a rental car, it could, and not having enough insurance will end up costing you a pretty penny.

CTypes of Auto Insurance overage Explained
The state of Florida requires you to carry at least the minimum requirements, which is property damage at ten thousand dollars and personal injury protection at ten thousand dollars. Property damage covers another person's vehicle if you are at fault in an accident. Personal injury protection covers 80 percent of medical expenses and 60 percent of loss wages as well as up to a five thousand dollar death benefit for you and your relatives (that reside with you), minus the deductible if it applies. This coverage would protect you in case there is any damage to other vehicles and gives you medical coverage for yourself.
There are many different types of auto insurance coverage to choose from, depending on what you want covered and what you can afford. Where should you get started?
First you should ask yourself if you have enough coverage in case of an incident occurring. Besides the minimum requirement coverage previously mentioned, there is another type of coverage that is very important, bodily injury.
Bodily injury coverage is not required by the state of Florida until you get into an auto accident. This would cover you if you were at fault in an accident and the person in the other vehicle suffered injuries exceeding their personal injury coverage. If you did not have this coverage the other party has the right to sue and the state may place a financial responsibility on your motor vehicle report, which you would have to carry for 3 years. That financial responsibility is called an SR22.
Uninsured motorist is another coverage you may want to consider. Uninsured motorist covers you if the other party was at fault and you were injured (exceeding your personal injury coverage) and they did not have bodily injury coverage. You may use this coverage to cover the difference of your injuries.
Where does you car fit for injury theft and collision? What about your dream car? Take a look at this run down based on 2000-2002 HLDI data:
There are two more very important types of coverage that you might want to explore they are: comprehensive and collision.

Top 5 ways to save on car insurance
Below are some of the top ways in which you can save money on the cost of insurance cover:
1. Don't go for the first quote. Never assume that the first quote you get is going to be representative of all other quotes, as the cost of cover can vary widely from one provider to another. Make sure that you get at least three quotes from different providers before you make any decision – don’t feel tempted to rush into taking cover with the first insurance company that sends you details.
2. Remember that price comparison sites may not cover all providers. Many people have started to use price comparison sites to find their insurance cover, but you should bear in mind that these sites only cover a portion of the market and not all providers are on their databases. You should therefore be mindful that there may be a cheaper and more suitable policy available that is not on the price comparison site, so it may be worth checking individual providers to get your price down further.
3. Go for the most appropriate level of cover. If you have a new or expensive vehicle then you should opt for the top level of cover, which is fully comp. However, if you have an old car that has a low value then you can get away with taking out a lower level of cover, which will enable you to keep the cost of cover down whilst still fulfilling the legal requirement of having insurance.
4. Increase your excess. The amount of excess that you choose on your policy will make a difference to your premiums. If you choose to have a higher level of excess on your policy you can knock down your premiums significantly in some cases – just make sure that you do have enough money put aside to cover the excess in case you do need to make a claim.
5. Take the pass plus test if you have recently passed. New and younger drivers often find the cost of cover crippling. However, you can save a considerable amount on the cost of cover if you take the advances pass plus test after passing your standard test, with some insurers offering up to 35% off if you have passed this advanced course.

Can You Get Car Insurance Without Paying A Deposit?
Generally, it helps to pay up a desirable deposit on car insurance. However, there are people who might not have the resources to pay down substantially. The availability of no deposit car insurance ensures that these insurance seekers have the access to car insurance as well. It is very important to insure your car (of course, if you have one). You can jolly well be “inspired” to skip insuring your car by friends, who consider it a way to cut down on their car expense. In that case, you might as well face graver consequences if you are found responsible of causing a road accident.
Generally in cases of accidents, it’s the insurance company representing the proven offender, which ends up paying the money as the compensation to the victim. So, in the case of an accident, if you are found without a car insurance policy, then it’s you who would have to pay the money out of your pocket. So, make a decision only after considering these consequences. If you are unable to pay the compensation, punishment would be meted out in accordance.

The Fine Print on Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-term care is often considered an issue exclusively for elders. Not so. A person who requires continuous care because they are unable to independently perform basic daily living activities such as dressing, bathing, or eating due to an injury, illness or in some cases, cognitive disorders may be a long-term care candidate. Being able to afford long-term care is something that concerns many of us. One way to deal with the unpredictability of long-term care costs may be long-term care insurance (LTCI).
Hopefully you'll live a long and prosperous life and health or money issues won't cloud your golden years. But, if you want to be prepared, consider how to make long-term care insurance work to your advantage. Don't count on Medicaid. It does cover a bit of your long-term care expenses but you've got to be dang near death or flat broke or a combination of the two to qualify. Then there's your friendly neighborhood HMOs, Medicare, and Medigap but guess what. Right. They don't help much either.
Here are three things you can do to get over your anxiety about this whole not-so-fun question of "How long will I live and can I afford it if I do?"
1. Eat your dang vegetables! Your mother was right. They are good for you and they keep you healthy. In other words, get with a fitness plan, clean up your diet, kick the smokes, and see if you can't add a few more healthy years to your life before long-term care insurance becomes a really big issue.
2. Make a ton of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah, your mother told you to start saving early. If you did as mama advised and got yourself some of that thar financial plannin' stuff then yer in dang good shape. If not, it's never too late to start with some basic planning and investing.
3. Buy some long-term care insurance. Nobody likes paying those insurance premiums but the right kind of long-term care insurance could make a huge difference when the going gets tough.
Eat your veggies, make some money, and buy some long-term care insurance. The first two are relatively easy; the last one has a few complexities to be aware of. Get with an agent you trust. Get a referral from someone in the legal or financial fields. Here is some of the even finer print to watch for when it gets down to the nitty gritty of policy comparison:
1. Elimination Complication... Or, in the insurance industry words, Elimination Period: This is the period of time before your insurance policy will actually begin paying out benefits. They typical options range from 20 to 100 days. This is also referred to as a waiting period. Make sure and ask your agent to clarify what your elimination period is and have him explain the cost/benefit considerations of making it longer or shorter.
2. Time Crunch... Or, as the insurance lingo goes, Duration of Benefits: The ceiling or limits placed on the benefits a policy holder will receive. This may be limits such as a set amount of money or a time limit of two years, etc. Again, it's important to compare these benefits to other financial capabilities and resources available to you.
3. Daily Bread... Or, as the insurance industry feeds it to you: Daily Benefit: This is the amount of coverage you choose as your benefit on a daily basis. This usually ranges from about $50 to as much as $350 each day. Also keep in mind the cost of living in your neighborhood. Health care in a small town in Wisconsin may be less costly than downtown San Diego. Your agent should be able to give you some guidance on this.
4. Easy Rider... Or as our insurance friends call it, Optional Inflation Rider: The term used to describe the method of protection against inflation.
5. Done-Got-That-Bug Before Or, affectionately known as Pre-existing Conditions and we-aint-gonna-cover-your-tail-for-that-one-for-a-while rule. The insurance provider will require a waiting period (in some cases 6 or months or more) before full coverage goes into effect on treatment for pre-existing conditions. This will vary from company to company.
6. Home on the Range... Or, our insurance folks refer to this as Range of Care: In other words, coverage may vary for different levels of care. Some care may be at a skilled level, intermediate level, or a custodial level. The facility will also have a range-of-care definition that the insurance agent should thoroughly explain. The nursing home is one price. The assisted living facility is another. And of course, the home care is still another price. Maybe a little complicated but this each of these services has different costs and various levels of service. Therefore they all have their own unique price tag. Ask for clarification on this.
7. Jacking Premiums... Or, also known as Premium Increases: Your policy will have terms in it that explain if, how, and when your premiums will increase. Reality check here. There is rarely an "if" but almost certainly a "when." Of course your costs will go up, just make sure you know how much and if you have any options when they do. Can you reduce the type of coverage you have if your premiums increase or are you locked in? Ask your agent.
8. To Know me is to Renew me... Or more commonly referred to as: Guaranteed Renewability: This is a policy agreement in long-term care insurance policies that allows you to renew it and maintain coverage even though you may have had changes in your health.
9. Amazing Grace Period... Or in less poetic terms, Grace Period for Late Payment: If you slip up and you're a little late on your payment, this is how much time the company will allow before they do something nasty like cancel your policy. It is wise that you don't put your grace period to the test. They may not always have the same warped sense of humor that certain article writers do.
10. No Debate Rebate... This is a fun one for a change, Return of Premium: This is the little clause that says you may get some of your money back if you haven't used your policy for a certain number of years. Remember, we did say "may get some of your money back."
11. Bed Pan Ally... Better known as Prior Hospitalization: This is the tiny little clause that indicates whether or not you must stay in a hospital before you qualify for long-term care insurance benefits.
It's obvious there's a lot to know about long-term care insurance so do your homework early. Make sure and check with a financial planner, attorney or accountant to get some guidance on this complicated topic. Not everyone needs or qualifies for long-term care insurance so ask a lot of questions and don't forget to eat your dang vegetables!

Know Where to Auto Insurance Quotes with No Deposit

What is the single biggest mistake made by car owners? Well the answer is simple- Driving without adequate car insurance. We asked many car owners the reason for the same. The answer was actually as a question.The question most car owners asked us was “Where can I get auto insurance quote with no deposit?”
Let us first understand the basis of this question. When people purchase a car, they draw up a budget. This budget includes various factors. These factors are:-
- The model of the car.
- Used, New or Classic car.
- The price range.
- List of banks or FI’s which provide loans.
- The down payment amount.
- Car Accessories.
If you notice the one point missed out is the car insurance. The reasoning behind it is simple. Most car owners spend so much on the car , that they forget to save money for the insurance. However, the other reason is that car owners do not want to pay a deposit for the insurance. Hence more often than not, they will ask their friends and relatives if they know about no deposit auto insurance.
We spoke to a few insurance companies and websites. We asked them if there was an adequate answer for the question “where do you get auto insurance quote with no deposit?”The good news is that many companies offer this facility. Today many insurance companies tie up with various monetary websites to provide a no deposit insurance facility.
Here are the few reasons why car owners should opt for this facility:-
- Wide variety of insurance companies.
- Significant savings on the actual insurance amount.
- Equal distribution of the insurance amount.
- Coverage for all types of vehicles.
