American Family Insurance Skills Challenge

The underarmour all-america game presented by american family insurance. And we will have loads of pins and needles moments for college football fans coming up tomorrow. Absolutely. You see some of the top prospects in the nation led by five star cornerbacks, kendall sheffield getting ready to make his announcement, ronald jones jr. Down between notre dame and usc, the one-time oklahoma state commit.

These players all will announce during our coverage of the underarmour all-america game. This is the american family insurance skills challenge. Time for the underarmour hands competition. And we take a look at the score, team armour with a clean sweep of the first event with the linemen, 2-0, the lead for team armour against team highlight. Here are the rules. This is another timed event based solely on time. The wide receivers and defensive backs have a little bit different of a strategy and rules through this. The receivers will have three balls to catch after the initial revolution.

The defensive backs will recover a fumble and then have one fewer catch to make as well. The tackling dummies, catch that third and final ball. It will be a jump ball. And we will start with george campbell for team highlight trying to get them on the board. Number one athlete in the 2015 class. And this guy can fly. I mean, he rolls out of bed and runs a 4.4. As we see him, the last one he dropped. Now he's got to catch this one. Use his speed. That's a one-second penalty for each drop. Have to get through the entire roped course.

There's a penalty for each square that you miss as well. Nice catch there. Absolutely, showed very good extension. Weaving his way through the bags, ability to change direction and burst out of those breaks. And his final catch. That's not part of it, but style points for sure. Jimmy graham seems to be part of this competition. That's not a penalty here. So one second on the penalty there. 25.83, the official time. Yeah, started off here on the jug machine, dropped the last one and then working through the ropes.

This is a tricky one. You've got to get your feet up and down through each hole. Showing good coordination. And then nice way to finish it off with -- is that a 360 dunk? Pretty much was. How about that? He is the number one athlete, and you can see why. Absolutely. So george campbell going against kordell broadus. The son of snoop. Quick hands right there, made all of his catches. Still uncommitted for college. Still deciding as he goes through the ropes course.
Does a nice job working through the ropes. Once again, he works through the gauntlet. Shows a little bit of pop there on the big dummy. As he weaves his way through. One final catch, has to beat 26.83. And he just does. No penalty on that runun. A clean run, and a little layup for you. Yeah, he didn't match campbell on the dunk, but throughout the obstacle course, an outstanding job with his hands. You see how quick they are. The hand/eye coordination.

Everything that they threw to him, he caught as he worked through the gauntlet. Really finished nice. He is a tough receiver. And where he excels is in contested matchups. And you can see why. With the strength that he has as well as his strong hands to go up and get the football. What's his best attribute, do you think? The ability to win in contested matchups. And you see that why with the hand/eye coordination.

Home Insurance Rates Soar After Brutal Winter

Unknown at 3:07 PM No comments:

Janet wu reports many lawmakers and many of you are not happy about it. Reporter: did you really think it was over? Andy hoffman knows better. We had an inspector come in with a water meter. We didn't think it was that much damage. He said there was damage throughout the entire house.

Reporter: 10 rooms, four months and multiple ice dams later he is still negotiating with the insurance company that offered him less than a 10th of what contractors tell him it will take to replace the walls, floors and the ceiling. This is a bathroom. You don't get much privacy. Reporter: insurers say it backs their request for 9% rate hikes that the insurance commissioner just approved. Is 9.1% increase justified? I don't believe it is. We had an unprecedented, profitable year. No storms that year.

Reporter: they agree that the homeowner claims jumped three fold and as many as 40% of the claims are still unresolved. But the 9% rate hike drives clients to competitors. Equally upset, one key beacon hill leader. I don't recall any public hearings or any public discussion about the proposed increase. And then we have one bad winter and it doesn't make they sense to me. He says he will have a chat with the insurance division, but for now? Generally speaking they scrub these hard to make sure they are appropriate. He refused to be interviews, but he released a statement that said they are not the only reason he raised rates, but, quote, because of anticipation for future.

Protecting Your Personal Property

Unknown at 4:18 AM No comments:

Making sure you have enough coverage for your personal property isn't always easy. But how do you know what the right amount is? That's a good question. One useful strategy is to think about everything you'd take with you if you were moving. All of those belongings should be considered when choosing your coverage amount.

It's important to know that the amount and type of personal property coverage you receive can be different, whether you own a house or condo or rent an apartment. Either way, you'll want to make sure your policy provides enough coverage in case something happens. That's why Amica Insurance is sharing the following information to help you choose the right coverage amount:

All of your personal property should be accounted for when inventorying your home. Walk through each room and consider things like furniture, clothing, pots and pans, drapes and towels. Certain types of high value items like jewelry, watches and furs, are subject to a specific dollar limit.

You may want to secure extra coverage for these items to provide better protection. Be sure to take pictures of each room, and keep receipts for high-value items. Store duplicates of this information in a safe place, or electronically, so that you can recover it if needed. Amica's mobile app offers an inventory tool that can help. We're always here to answer your questions, so give us a call, or visit our website, and we'll be happy to assist you.

I'm an insurance broker and what we are going to talk about today is how does homeowners insurance work. Usually home owners insurance is associated with people that live in condominiums as compared to mortgage insurance. Normally people have a mortgage and live in a home. With condominiums, home owners insurance is designed to handle something, if it breaks, the homeowners insurance will talk care of it.

It's like with any particular insurance policy.It will fill a void in an event something happens.Your homeowners can be obtained from any particular insurance company and the premiums are not that expensive. It is something that every homeowner should have.If something breaks, you want it fixed.Your homeowners insurance will take care of that in the event something breaks. Homeowners insurance is something that everyone should consider if they become involved in the ownership of a place.

Home Insurance Austin, Texas, United States of America

Hi I'm Lucas with bound insurance, I'm the personal lines agent which means I work with home insurance, auto insurance, motorcycle, boats, things like that. I want to talk to you about home insurance and what coverages you should really worry about. I'm just going to run through the basics and kind of elaborate on what's important and what the main things you should focus on. First thing is going to be the dwelling itself, I want to say dwelling this is actually covering the structure, say there has been a fire, it burns down , this is going to rebuild your home.

The main thing to worry about on this is how it's valued. There is two different ways in the industry to value a dwelling, there is replacement cost which is the way to go and then there is actual cash value. Actual cash value is going to look on "Oh, your home is X amount years old, we are going to deduct some many dollars" whereas the replacement cost is what's going to get your home rebuilt to what your home was.

The next thing is going to be other structures, this covers your storage building, shed, and kind of out building or fence you have around the property. Personal property covers things that are not built into the house, your furniture, clothing, appliances, now if you have anything of high value you are going to want to list it individually, so anything that's over $5,000 say jewelry, furs, guns, be sure to let your agent know about these things, because if there is a fire your regular personal property coverage might not cover the high value items.

Loss of use, what this coverage is say if there is a fire while your dwelling coverage is covering the rebuilding of your home, you are going to have to find a place to stay, an apartment, a hotel or something for a few months while your home is in construction and this just covers those expenses that you really didn't think about.

Next thing you will probably see on your policy is liability and right under that is going to be your medical payments to others or none residents, say someone is over and they are visiting, they trip and fall and injure themselves, well medical payments is going to come up first and pay up to what your limits are in, $1,000, $5,000, whatever you might have on your policy. Now, once it goes past that, say if the person tries to sue you, then you have your liability to cover you, and that's usually in the 100's of 1000's.

Your liability also covers your pets, now what I mean by this is say if your neighbor is visiting and your dog bites them or the cat jumps on them and scratches them and they have to go to the hospital and injuries like that, it will pay for it. Now because of this, insurance companies are real strict on what animals they allow. Some insurance companies might not cover your animal liability if you have more aggressive breeds or breeds considered to be aggressive like Rottweiler, Pit-bull, Chowchows, things like that. The deductible on your home insurance policy is the amount that you are responsible for.

Now, when choosing how high or low you want your deductible of course the higher you go with your deductible will keep your premium down, it's a good idea to kind of go the higher one because really insurance is for catastrophic losses anyhow, but at the same time you don't want to go so high that it's going to break your bank if your roof blows off or if you have a fire or something like that. Be sure you know what your home insurance policy covers. It's always better to ask questions than to not know when you have a claim.

Filing Your Home Insurance Claim

Unknown at 3:46 PM No comments:

Wind, water and fire can leave behind a considerable amount of damage in just a few mintues. Being prepared to handle the aftermath can help you avoid further damage and recover quickly. Your first priority is to make sure any family members and pets are in a safe place.Then you can move on to preventing further damage and starting the claims process. Contact your insurance agent or company. They will advise you on filing your claim.

Inspect your home to determine its safety and the extent of the damage. Before you move or attempt to fix anything, take inventory and pictures of the damage to aid in the claims process. Just be cautious of possible hazards such as downed power lines or debris or shock hazards from flooded basements when the power is still on.

Depending on the situation, your insurance company will send an adjuster to inspect the damage and provide an estimate for repairs, or they will work with you or a contractor to remotely adjust your claim. Do whatever is necessary to avoid further damage. Cover broken windows or tarp a damaged roof. Contact emergency restoration and water mitigation services as soon as possible to prevent further damage and ensure prompt service. If you are not able to re-enter the structure, or if the authorities tell you to evacuate, you can work with your agent or your claims adjuster to set up temporary living arrangements.

Above all, keep detailed records of the repair process and any expenses you incur. No matter the extent of the damage, your agent and company claims representatives will be there to guide you through every step of reporting and settling the claim and repairing the damage.

Vancouver Home Insurance and Building

Unknown at 10:51 AM No comments:

Well, if your home burns down, it will have to be rebuilt to comply with today’s building codes and bylaws. Here are a couple of examples of how bylaws can affect the replacement cost of your home: Bylaws may have changed in your area: Bylaws and building codes are constantly changing.

For instance, did you know that if you live in Vancouver, and need to rebuild your home after a loss, it is a requirement that a sprinkler system be installed? As a result of this bylaw, the cost to rebuild your home has just gone up! Who’ll pay for this? If you don’t have Bylaw coverage on your home insurance policy, you’ll be paying for it out of your own pocket. Bylaw requires rebuilding: Some municipalities have bylaws that state if your home is damaged to a certain percentage, you cannot just repair the damage; you need to tear down the home, and rebuild it. This can result in a huge extra expense, not covered by most home insurance policies if you haven’t added a Bylaw rider! Even if you’ve added Bylaw coverage, you may not have enough in a case like this.

So what’s the best way to protect yourself? When you purchase home insurance, ask your agent if the policy provides “bylaws coverage”. Most policies include a small amount of protection, and may offer additional coverage for an extra charge. You may think you don’t need much bylaw coverage if your home is brand new. After all, a new home should be constructed to meet all the current bylaws and building code requirements.

But remember, your municipality may require your house to be rebuilt, even if it’s only partially damaged. This can happen to a home of any age, and as mentioned, could be a tremendous expense. At Square One, we automatically cover the cost to upgrade your building after an insured loss so that it complies with the current codes or bylaws. No limit! This is a very important coverage that is often overlooked. Without it, you could be out thousands of dollars. Contact us today for a quote and make sure you don’t have to worry about bylaws affecting your claim!

Learning About Home Insurance - Designing Spaces

Unknown at 5:33 AM No comments:

You have your home and you've put a lot into it, both time and money, but are you protecting your investment. Home owner's insurance can protect you in ways that are obvious and ways that you may not have thought of. The bottom line, how do you know you have proper coverage? Home owner's insurance is a policy that provides financial protection for you and your home in the event of loss.

Designing Spaces got together with Kimberlee Furcht from Westwood Insurance to find out exactly how homeowner's insurance works and how to determine what type of coverage is right for you. In this home, there are many art objects collected from around the world. I've been fortunate to visit some of the world's most interesting and exotic destinations, and during my travel, I've acquired some wonderful artwork and accessories for this house. Home owner's insurance is really important to me. Why is it important to have home owner's insurance?

Life happens, things happen, and unfortunately accidents happen. Your home owner's insurance is designed to provide coverage for your home in the event of loss as well as providing coverage if there were to be an accident either in your home or on your property. Why is it important to have adequate coverage? In the event of a total loss, you have the financial protection you'll need to rebuild your home. You'll also have the protection you need for your possessions so that you can replace them with items of equal value.

A great way to know you have adequate coverage is to touch base with your agent. Let them know if you've made any upgrades to your home, have made any changes to your home, or if you've purchased anything of high value recently. A great time to do this is at your policy renewal. What is the difference between market value and replacement costs? Market value is the worth of a home when buying or selling. Replacement cost takes into account the amount of money it would cost to rebuild your home if it were to be destroyed or damaged. What coverages are included in the standard home owner's policy? Included in a standard home owner's policy, you have coverage for your dwelling which is really just a fancy word for the home itself.

You also have other structures coverage which provides coverage for fences, a shed, or like Scott's beautiful pool outside. There's also coverage for personal property which would be the possessions in your home. Your policy also provides coverage for the cost of additional living expenses while your home is being repaired or rebuilt. And last but not least, there's liability coverage as well as medical payments coverage under your home owner's insurance policy. So, Nancy and I are on a trip and we're in Venice. We came upon this vase. It was magnificent. We loved it, we bought it. It's got great value, and therefore insurance is vital. What are some other options available?

Some options that are available in your homeowner's policy, you can increase your coverages for your personal property to provide additional protection, you can also schedule items under your insurance policy. So, if you've got high valued items like jewelry, fine art, Scott's art collection, a coin collection, you can schedule that under your homeowner's insurance policy. One thing you also might want to look into is flood coverage. It's not included under your homeowner's policy, but a lot of people find comfort in knowing that they have that protection. What is liability coverage and is it built into a standard policy?

Liability coverage is afforded under the standard homeowner's insurance policy. Your liability coverage provides you financial protection against bodily injury and property damage sustained by others while either in your home or on your property. I know that it's important to keep a record of all of the important items I have insured in my home. Not being a master at paperwork, what I've done is taken photographs. This way in the event, God forbid, there is a loss or a damage, I've got proof of what I have. Could you explain the term claims readiness? Claims readiness simply means being ready in the event of loss. There are a couple things you can do to insure thing. One, take inventory of the items in your home periodically. Two, take pictures along with serial numbers. And third, and lastly, keep receipts for any items over $200 in a safe place.
