Insurance Buffs Begins Development of New Webinar Series to Educate Consumers on Buying Insurance

The Chief Exec of Insurance Buffs, a provider of multiple types of insurance - including cheap car insurance, recently announced that the company will be producing and publishing a series of free seminars on its website. According to the CEO, “as a proactive move to educate the consumer on the ins and outs of purchasing insurance, were putting together this series of webinars that will be totally free for visitors to our site.”

“This series will focus on all of the finer points of shopping around for insurance, purchasing a policy and knowing when and how to file a claim. Quite a bit of research on consumer habits has shown that most people purchase their insurance policies based solely on what they perceive to be the best marketing efforts. Research also shows that the consumer is likely to purchase their coverage from a company whose message extols the virtue of their cheap car insurance, even when the quality is lacking.”

“We want to show the consumer that there is a way of getting cheap car insurance without sacrificing quality. Our series will show the average man or woman how to get the most quality at the lowest cost, along with all of the other important areas that we often overlook; including what to do when there’s an accident and what steps are necessary when it comes to filing an insurance claim. What our research has shown, is that most people have not bothered to educate themselves on some of these points, because they have never to actually file a claim.”

Car Insurance Coverage: A Protection to All

Car Insurance Coverage: A Protection to All


Minimum car insurance coverage is the only requirement for motorists in North Carolina as mandated by the law. However, taking a look at severe injuries relating to car accidents, this coverage will not suffice for all the expenses and financial compensation to be incurred during these incidents.
If this is the case, one can utilize the use of uninsured-underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy. Uninsured coverage provides coverage, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and injuries, for those without car insurance coverage. The Underinsured Coverage, on the other hand, will equipped a driver whose current car insurance coverage is not enough to compensate for the damages incurred.
The purchase of this uninsured-underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy is still based on the driver’s capacity to pay as some may use this abusively in order to save more money. One should always remember that life and safety are important for every driver and one should take necessary actions to safeguard it at all times by all means possible.

Optional auto insurance helps motorists with car damage from pot holes and other winter hazards

You drive across what seems to be the Grand Canyon of pot holes seriously damaging your car's front end. Does your insurance policy cover the cost of the repairs?

That's just one question being asked as consumers from Buffalo to New York City see their cars take a beating this winter. Pot hole-scarred streets, fallen tree limbs and other snow-related situations have taken a toll on many consumers' vehicles.

"Consumers can help themselves by understanding what their policy covers and what is excluded from coverage. They should also know that they can turn to the Insurance Department if they need help with an automobile insurance issue they cannot resolve themselves," Insurance Superintendent James Wrynn said.

Mandatory no-fault, liability and uninsured motorist coverages do not apply to damages to your own vehicle. Claims related to losses to your vehicle can generally be covered by optional collision and comprehensive coverages.

Here are some common ways that insurance can help motorists when winter gets the best of their cars:

  • Pot holes – Damage caused by pot holes is covered under the collision portion of an automobile insurance policy. However, since collision coverage is optional, don't look to your insurer to help you pay for damage caused by rough roads unless you've already purchased that option.
  • Falling objects – Damage caused by falling objects, like ice, tree limbs or hail, is covered if your policy contains comprehensive physical damage coverage, which again is an optional form of coverage. Under comprehensive coverage, your insurer pays you, without regard to fault, for damage to your car from all causes, other than a collision. Besides protecting you from losses due to falling objects, comprehensive coverage protects against theft, fire, flood, windstorm, glass breakage or vandalism.
  • Hitting a deer – Deer and other animals are often harder to see during winter's shorter daytime hours. Damage caused by hitting or being hit by a deer or other kind of animal would be covered by your comprehensive physical damage coverage.
  • Your parked car is hit by another vehicle – Your collision coverage would cover damages to your car. You may also be able to file a claim against the driver of the other vehicle.

Consumers will need to pay any deductibles that apply when filing claims for losses that are insured under the collision or comprehensive physical damage provisions of their policies.
