Florida follows the no-fault system for auto accidents. Hence, the insurance company would pay for the bodily injury claims irrespective of who had been at fault in a car accident. However, the damage to the vehicle should be covered only by the at-fault party. According to the auto insurance laws of Florida, every motorist should purchase a minimum insurance coverage of $10,000 for personal injury protection or PIP and $10,000 for liability coverage of property damage. Further, you should have a bodily injury liability coverage minimum of $10,000 per person and a minimum coverage of $20,000 per accident.

How to Understand an Insurance Comparison

Certain types of insurance are easier to compare than others. And of course, when you compare any kind of insurance, it’s important to compare apples to apples in order to get and understand a reliable insurance comparison.

When comparing term life insurance for instance, policies are fairly standard. A few variables would be things like the length, or “term” of the policy. Some policies don’t take effect right away either. One policy might take effect immediately, another might not take effect (pay off in event of death) for one or two years. Others even allow for suicide and acts of war where most don’t. And still others will put all payments on hold if the death occurs under strange circumstances and foul play is in question.

So, if you are looking into term life insurance, and you are comparing rates and quotes, make sure you are comparing policies that are all identical. A higher premium might mean better coverage with few stipulations to abide by.

Four Money Issues That Single Women Need to Consider

Published: Dec 1st, 2009 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

Financial security is especially challenging for single women–whether they be never married, divorced or widowed. These women don’t have a second income to count on and need to plan accordingly in case the salary from their job is no longer available. Here are a few important points to consider–

* Most couples are advised to set aside 3 to 6 months’ worth of living expenses in case they have to deal with a job loss, medical emergency or any other financial setback. However, in the case of a couple, there is a chance that one of the partner’s income will still be available. For a single woman, if her income is terminated or some other financial crisis occurs, she will have no other income to fall back on. So, it would be wise for any single woman to set back more than the traditional 3 to 6 months’ worth of living expenses.
* If your employer offers disability insurance, you should sign up as soon as you are eligible. Most disability insurance policies replace 60% of one’s income if you become disabled and cannot work. This insurance is absolutely vital to all single women and is usually fairly inexpensive to purchase.
* Unless you have someone dependent upon you, such as elderly parents or children, who would be destitute if you died, you do not need to purchase life insurance. Life insurance is not a viable investment and is not a good idea if you are independent and have no dependents.

The 5 Financial Musts For Any Newly Married Couple

When a newly married couple comes to a financial planner, there are always five different areas that seem to matter the most. They are starry eyed of course, thus putting these financial musts in front of them is of extreme importance. These are basically: 1. financial debts, 2. financial goals, 3. opening accounts, 4. making a budget, and 5. deciding who is going to act as accountant for the couple.

First, they need to look at what they own or have invested in. For instance, the worth of investments, life insurance policies if they have any, general savings that make some sort of income, cars and the like. Impressing the couple that they need to be conservative when estimating the worth of these items needs to be stressed. For instance, an old computer that they paid dearly for 5 years ago is basically worthless now.

Discussing the automobiles they currently own, one should also look at how long they expect to hang onto that automobile, and how they plan to purchase a replacement when the time comes? This is part of their financial planning, and does need to be included as an important expenditure.
