Auto insurance Questions/Concerns..?
This is for anyone that can help answer my questions for auto insurance, last night there was bad storm and large hail that dented my car in so many ways from the hood to the top of my car, I contacted my insurance provider to file out a claim and was advised an adjuster would contact me back within 24-48 hours? is this how claims works out? I currently have Lindsay General Auto insurance from getautoinsurance.com, can anyone tell me the steps and procedures that will occur the next few days (whats gonna happen?) or what usually happens?
admin answers:
The adjuster will examine the damage and offer you a settlement based on the extent of loss and the value of the vehicle. They sometimes make out a check, and other times they advise you the cost of the damage and allow you to have repair done up to that value. If the cost of repairs exceed value of the car, they will “total it out” and offer to pay all that to you as you surrender the car to them.

Joseph asks…
Does my friend needs commercial insurance for his unit in an enclosed mall / plaza?
Hello, my friend has an commercial unit (approx. 750 sq ft). He leased to one party and the tenant is doing a tutor education business. Does the unit owner requires commercial general liability insurance and/or property insurance if the building owner and the tenant have purchased their own commercial insurance to cover if any losses??
Thank you for answering my question.
admin answers:
Yes your friend needs his own liability policy for two reasons: 1) The owner of the unit is liable for damages/injuries caused to people. Customers of the tutor business can still sue your friend as owner of the unit if they are injured on the premises. Your friend can always ask to be listed as a named insured on the tutor busniess’ policy (he did make a condition of the lease that the tutor business carry insurance, right?) so that they will have coverage under their policy, however coverage only activates if your friend is being sued because of the actions of the tenant. If the lawsuit is not a result of this then there’s the second reason he needs his own policy: 2) Your friend could be sued by the tenant, the tenant’s liability limit (which your friend is a named insured on) is insufficient or your friend could be sued for injuries/damages suffered while the unit is vacant. If your friend doesn’t have a policy and one of these situations occur your friend should be prepared to be taken to the cleaners.

General Questions regarding the Stock Market…?
I am really looking for someone who has knowledge in stock markets…
I wanted to ask if identifying “stable” industries/stocks in this economic crisis is something super easy or not.
The answer seems simple in a way…
Utilities, such as electric companies, would have a stable stock because people have to use these kind of stuff.
Also, insurance, because people need insurance and since the economy is getting worse, people would need even more insurance in a way…
But my question is that these are not always true…
There are always exceptions… so identifying stable industries/socks would be hard…
Is my statement correct?
And what are some exceptions to these stable industries (or in other words, people may think that utility companies are doing well in this economic crisis, but some aren’t. What are these exceptions??)
sry if it’s hard to understand my question…
so it’s basically like the question, “what are the safest stocks?” the answers seem somewhat obvious. Utilities would be doing fine because ppl always use them.
However, they’re not always fine. What are the exceptions and why?

admin answers:
I think so, I understand your question. Which stock u buy who have more stability in this economic crisis.
Go for Oil stock, right now Oil in the international market is much high I think it’s the highest in year 2009.
Go for Energy / Power company stock.
Go for Pharma (medician) company (now a days people need the medician so, the impact is not that big.
Go for tobacco shares…it will not make much impact.
Banks and insurance compay, the way you think is not that. The problem with banks have more NPL (non-performing loans) so they need to create bad debt provision. With insurance company the problem is that they invested in stocks, and other. The stock have given them hard time and might they have booked a big loss.

Helena asks…
General insurance and Worker’s Comp. question?
I was recently accepted as a subcontractor servicing HUD houses, and I need a minimum of $500,000 in General Liability insurance and a minimum of $100,000 in Worker’s Comp. insurance. I have to fax proof to them before they will send me work orders.
How much would $500K in General Liability insurance and $100K in Worker’s Comp. insurance cost, and where do I go about getting both?
I’m 18 if it helps any.
Thanks and I will choose best answer.
admin answers:
Depends on what you’re doing.
AND, just for the record, the $500K in CGL costs just about the same as a full million, so you might as well go for the million. And the workers comp, the limit for comp is “unlimited”, and the $100/500/100 is the limit for employer’s liability.
If you’re a roofer, for example, and you don’t do flat roofs or hot tar roofing, the liability will cost you $2000, and the workers comp another $2,000, if you have no employees or subcontractors yourself.
You go talk to a local independent agent. You’re not going to be able to get payments for these, as a newly insured business. And you’re not going to get a standard company to write you, either. You can locate a local agent at www.iiaa.org.
