Home Owner Insurance

-
Homeowner’s Insurance This insurance policy protects your personal real estate and its contents. Just as property insurance protects your commercial real estate, homeowner's insurance can protect your home against structural damage or loss, contents damage and loss, and provides liability coverage. Does Homeowners Insurance Covers Business Property and liability? No it doesn't. For example if you’re a home-based business owner, you may think your homeowner’s policy is killing two birds with one stone by guarding your home and your business. But the truth is that homeowner's insurance policies don't cover business-related property or liabilities. Practical case study: more than half of the businesses in the United States are based out of the owner's home, business owners should know the limits of homeowner’s insurance coverage. Your home might not be open to the public, but that doesn’t mean your home premises are not used for business purposes all the same. In fact: -If a postman simply drops off packages and supplies for your business, you could have a lawsuit on your hands if he slips and falls on your property. And your homeowner’s policy won’t help fund your legal expenses. -If a fire destroys your home office, you may have to pay to replace your business property and repair your office out of pocket. -If you bring a client’s laptop home and accidentally spill coffee on it, you could be sued for repair expenses, and only a commercial liability policy can help with that. There are a couple of routes you could go to fill the coverage gap left by your homeowner’s insurance policy. You could add a commercial rider to your policy, but that option usually doesn’t offer much coverage. The better method is to apply for a business owner’s policy, which bundles general liability and commercial property insurance together for low-risk small businesses. #BeNewinsurance #InsurTech #inclusiveinsurance #insurance #reinsurance #takaful

Disability Appeal A disability appeal in insurance is a process that allows a policyholder to challenge the denial of their disability insurance claim. If a policyholder's disability claim is denied, they will typically receive a denial letter from the insurance company. The denial letter will explain the reason for the denial and the policyholder's right to appeal. Here are some common reasons why disability insurance claims are denied: -The claim is not covered by the policy. -The policyholder has not met the definition of disability under the policy. -The policyholder has failed to provide sufficient evidence of their disability. -The policyholder has violated the terms of the policy. The insurance company will then review the appeal and make a decision. If the insurance company upholds the denial, the policyholder may have the option to file a lawsuit against the insurance company. Remember during an appeal you must show the court, through substantive evidence and w

Policyholder (Contract Holder)

Policyholder (Contract Holder) A policyholder is the person who purchases and owns an insurance policy. The policyholder is responsible for paying the premiums and is entitled to the benefits of the policy. The policyholder may also be the insured person, but this is not always the case. For example, a parent may purchase a life insurance policy for their child, or a business owner may purchase a health insurance policy for their employees. For life insurance it's a little bit different. You may be the policyholder, but someone else may be the insured party. In addition, you will need to name one or several beneficiaries of the policy. In life insurance, the policyholder owns and controls the policy but is not always the insured. A wife can purchase a term life insurance policy with her husband as the insured and name her adult son and herself as the beneficiaries. As policyholder, she controls the life insurance policy. If her husband dies during the coverage period, the wif

Offset An offset in insurance is a reduction in the amount of benefits that an insured person is entitled to receive because they are also receiving benefits from another source they receive. Offsets are most common in disability insurance and workers' compensation, but they can also be found in other types of insurance, such as life insurance and health insurance. Insurance companies are not prohibited from applying offsets this because if you were allowed to keep the full amount of all of the various disability benefits to which you might be entitled, it would be possible for you to earn more money on disability than you would by working. There are two main types of offsets: Income offsets: Income offsets reduce the amount of benefits that an insured person is entitled to receive by the amount of other income that they are receiving, such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or workers' compensation. Expense offsets: Expense offsets reduce the amount of ben
