Auto Accident Insurance Issues

It seems that insurance is a part of our lives in many ways. We need insurance for our vehicles in order to drive legally on the road and we need health insurance if we want to see our doctor or be treated at a hospital. Life insurance is something most people purchase to feel comfortable that our families will be provided for financially if we should die, and we certainly want coverage on our homes and belongings should there be a fire, flood, or other cause of damage or loss.

Many people pay thousands of dollars each year to be insured and yet they rarely file a claim. People pay and pay their premiums faithfully every month, year after year, and if they don’t file a claim the only thing they get in return is peace-of-mind. For most people, it’s worth it but they do expect to be treated well when they file a claim.
