U.S. Auto Accident Statistics 2011
Although many Americans are afraid to fly, the truth is they are more likely to be injured or killed on the way to or from the airport than in a plane crash. In fact, auto accidents are one of the leading causes of death for most age groups in America and the leading cause of death for Americans age 5 to 34 according to the Center for Disease Control. There are about 40,000 auto accident fatalities every year in the United States.
Cost of Motor Vehicle Accidents
There are over 6,000,000 reported motor vehicle accidents per year in the U.S. and less than 8% of them result in fatalities. According to AAA, the average annual cost of auto accidents is over $164.2 billion or over $1000 per U.S. resident.
Those Without Health Insurance Subsidies May Have Other Options
Even with the end of federal subsidies to the unemployed for health insurance coverage, other recourse or eligibility for assistance may still be available.
The end of federal government assistance in paying health insurance premiums has necessitated finding other possible options by some out of work. The government’s subsidy had helped the unemployed to continue receiving coverage under their former employer’s health plan.
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, known as COBRA, enables previous employees to remain under their former employer’s health insurance for up to 18 months as long as they pay for their own coverage. In 20
Switching car insurer becomes a habit, claims Gocompare.com
New research from Gocompare.com shows a substantial increase in the number of consumers who now are regularly switching their car insurer over the last two year.
In December 2009, Gocompare found that 22% of Brits had switched car insurance provider, but research carried out in October this year shows this figure has jumped to 34%.
However, despite the increase in consumers shopping around for car insurance, almost a third of Brits havent switched providers for any of the 20 most common financial products in the last year including car insurance (13%), home insurance (16%), energy provider (10%), savings account (12%) and mobile phone provider (18%).
John Miles, Gocompare.coms business development director, commented: Our research shows a significant change in consumer behaviour towards their car insurer.
More drivers than ever are realising that the best way to save money on their car insurance is to compare their premium at every renewal.
However, millions of consumers are still staying with the same insurers, energy companies and banks for years, often in the mistaken belief that their loyalty will be rewarded.
The message appears to be getting through on car insurance, but there are still plenty of products where consumers are far more likely to stick with the same provider for years than switch to get a better deal.

Who has the cheapest car insurance in MA?

Why Massachusetts has so few car insurance companies is that (until recently) the state refused car insurance companies the option to deny coverage to drivers instead of letting a free market thrive.
A majority of drivers don’t know the benefits of winter tyres
According to research done by a popular website, a vast majority of car insurance policy holders in the UK do know have any knowledge of the advantage of having winter tyres.
It was revealed that only six per cent of the drivers who were interviewed said that they would think about buying winter tyres, despite the fact that the last two winters had been very bad. The survey also showed that nearly two fifths of motorists did not have any awareness about this tyre and almost a third said that they were oblivious to the fact that these could be bought in the UK.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) informed car insurance holders that using winter tyres can drastically improve a cars handling and performance during the icy and snowy conditions prevalent during the winter months.
The chief executive of SMMT, Paul Everitt said, “With temperatures starting to drop and the wetter seasons approaching, motorists should make sure they have the best tyres for the road and climate conditions.”
Winter tyres also save you some money in car insurance as well. Man
Should You Buy the Life Insurance Offered by Your Employer?
Your employer will probably offer you a life insurance plan when you get a new job. The plan is considered part of your benefits package. However, it may not be as much of a benefit as it seems. There are some situations in which buying into an employee plan is not as beneficial as buying one on your own. At the same time, there are situations for which your company plan will provide excellent coverage for a low price. You need to understand the difference so you will be covered by a plan that will be helpful to you.
