Is Your Insurance Policy Right For You?
By Kevin Wynn
Take a moment and ask yourself: is your insurance policy just right for you and your family? This question is important, considering the recent statistics wherein more than 30 million families in the United States of America alone do not have the correct insurance coverage. Their insurance policies purportedly are not right for them. In fact, in the year 2006, fifty eight percent of American households were undervalued at a staggering rate of twenty one percent --- definitely unfavorable numbers especially because these insurance policies are supposed to be the topmost things families should turn to when there are emergencies, accidents and the like. To know if your insurance policy is right for you, there are a couple of things that you must consider. First off, if you just got married, that is one ground for you to change your insurance policy. Remember, there are insurance premiums that become cheaper because of spousal clauses in the policies. If you and your spouse are employed, both of you may be entitled to discounts in terms of premium payments. Also, even if one of you is not working, the other may still benefit from the spouse’s insurance policy.
Secondly, if you have kids, this is another instance when you should review your insurance policies. If you have a teenager in the house and he has a driver’s license, it’s generally cheaper to add your teenager to your own car insurance policy than to get a separate one. How’s that for discounts? Also, if your son, let’s say, does well in school and gets straight A’s or at least regular B’s, that could spell further discounts from the insurance company. Hence, that can be added motivation for your child to excel in his academics. Moreover, your insurance company may also offer a multi-policy discount if you insure your teenager’s car with them as well. Thirdly, if you change jobs or if you (unfortunately) get demoted at work and get a decrease in your salary, you may also be entitled to insurance. This is especially beneficial when you need to care for yourself and your family during a period wherein you find yourself unemployed and out of immediate resources. The fourth thing you must consider is when you recently acquired jewelries, art works, paintings and other valuables. Do you think you’re receiving the right insurance coverage for those costly investments? You might want to consider getting a supplemental policy with a floater that could provide additional insurance coverage for your valuables. Call your insurance company to get the lowdown on this. Don’t forget to have your recently acquired valuables appraised, too, so that you’ll know exactly how much they are worth. You may want to review your insurance policy if you decide

to rent a property. There are actually a lot of tenants these days who have the misconception that they no longer need to buy a policy because their landlords are covered anyway. Truth be told, landlords are only responsible for insuring the building or structure itself. Hence, if there are damages done to the building or if you fall prey to a thief, the landlord is not obligated to pay you or extend insurance benefits. These are just some of the incidents that you have to consider in order to identify whether or not your insurance policy is right for you. Use the aforementioned incidents as guides so that you can be sure you have the most comprehensive and suitable insurance policy at any given time. |
