NVAIP Auto Insurance
An informational
guide on NVAIP assigned risk
and preferred risk Nevada automobile
insurance.
Where
you live or, more precisely, where
you keep your car at night has a
bearing on your chances of having
an accident or becoming a victim
of theft or vandalism. That's why
a vehicle owner in Manhattan, New
York, pays a higher rate than the
owner of an identical vehicle in
a rural less populated area.
Other
factors affecting regional insurance
rates include time and efficiency
of police response and law enforcement,
local road and traffic conditions
and the quality of local medical
services. Most insurance companies factor in
the litigation rates in a given
area--that is, how many lawsuits
are filed, go to trial, are settled
out of court and for how much.
Why are rates different
for different cars, even if the
cars cost the same?
Vehicles
are also grouped into categories
according to their chances of being
damaged, vandalized or stolen. Insurers
generally consider the size and
type of vehicle, as well as the
value and the cost of repairs which
vary greatly, even on vehicles that
cost about the same amount. Therefore,
it is assumed that a new sport utility
vehicle is expected to hold up better
in an accident than a sports car
or a subcompact or electric hybrid
car.
Putting
insurance aside for a moment, safety
is key when buying an automobile.
Your life and everyone who rides
with you depends on it! Some cars
are considered safer than others
because of their performance record
in safety tests and real accidents.
That
is why you consumers should research
insurance coverage before you buy
your car. It helps you to understand
the actual cost and indicates those
vehicles with good safety records.
Your insurer will ultimately reward
you for putting safety first.
What is "no-fault"
insurance?
No-fault
insurance is a system adopted in
some states that essentially bypasses
the conventional legal procedure
which finds fault in an accident.
This is the procedure by which you hire an attorney, file suit and possibly go to court to prove the accident was the other persons fault. No-fault
simply does away with the concept
of one party or the other being
at fault--no lawyers, no court,
no judge, no jury, no lengthy lawsuits
against the other party. This is
considered beneficial to taxpayers,
because it eliminates costly legal
proceedings that the state must
manage, and to insurance policyholders,
because it helps keep rates down.
If
you are insured in a no-fault state
and have an accident, you don't
go after the other driver. You contact
your own insurer and file a claim.
Your own insurance policy guarantees
you immediate compensation for damages,
medical expenses, lost wages, essential
services, rental car arrangements
etc.
The
type and range of no-fault coverage
varies from state to state. What
defines the limitations of no-fault
policies can differ in two important
areas:
- Threshold--The type of damage or injury or the cost
of repair or recovery that triggers
the need for legal action.
- Mandated--Benefit Level The package of benefits (medical,
wage loss, replacement services
and other expenses) your state
requires you to carry.
The details of no-fault insurance can be complicated. Contact
your agent or state's insurance
department for further information.
No. Some states, while not mandating auto insurance, have
what is known as financial responsibility
laws that require all drivers
to be able to pay for any damage
or injury they may cause. However,
carrying liability insurance
is still the best way for you
to meet your state's financial
responsibility requirements
once you know what they are.
UM and UIM policies are typically offered
by law in all states, including
no fault states. In fact, some
states require all motorists
to carry this coverage in order
to gain protection from inadequate
insurance coverage of other
drivers that may not carry enough
or higher limits as the majority
does; i.e., 100-300-50,000.
First, call the police to the scene to be sure all pertinent
information is properly recorded.
Your nerves will be shaken right
after an accident, and it helps
to have a calm and knowledgeable
person walking you through the
necessary details.
Then, contact your agent or policy holder services or claims
number usually on your ID Card
immediately and ask about filing
a claim. If you followed all
the recommended guidelines and
procedures when you bought your
policy, you should be covered
within the benefits and or limitations
of that policy. Remember, your
car insurance policy is designed
to protect you and anyone in
your vehicle.
If the cost of your physical
damages or personal injuries
exceed the amount your policy
will pay for, it may be time
to take legal action against
the other party. Even if you
have no-fault insurance, sometimes
the only way to be compensated
is to place blame and responsibility
where it belongs. That is why
it is best to get a police report
documenting the incident and
any witnesses statement while
it is fresh in their minds.
This will preserve that moment
in time and remove any room
for doubt later in the legal
process.
It is better to have the police report and not really need
it , than it is to need one
for court and not have one because
it would have taken another
thirty minutes to an hour extra
at the incident scene.
Technically, in most states your insurer can cancel your policy
only if:
- you fail to pay your premium;
- you lose your driver's license;
- you are guilty of material misrepresentation during the application
process i.e., you fail to
notify your insurer of a
recorded violation, such
as a drunken driving, or
possession of drugs or any
illegal activity offense;
or
- you fail to report a substantial change of risk, such as
buying a new high performance
sports car to replace an
old high mileage family
sedan.
However, your current insurance company may legally choose not to renew your policy
for a variety of reasons.
Do you have a bad driving
record? Have you received
a lot of speeding tickets?
Have you ever been caught
driving drunk? Not only
are these scenarios considered
unsafe and illegal, they
are justifiable cause for
your insurer to label you
a bad risk and refuse to
renew your policy. Some
underwriters may feel compelled
to cancel policies after
only one accident.
Where do you park your vehicle when not in use? Has the area changed in a negative way in the last
few years? Have the accident
or crime rates risen noticeably?
As regions are reassessed
periodically, their status
could change and you could
suddenly find yourself living
in a higher risk area, where
your insurer's rates may
not be adequate to cover
losses.
Even "good" drivers can find themselves in the position of
being dropped by their current
carrier. Reasons range from
a couple of moving violations,
or multiple accidents, or
other serious violations
that make you a high risk
to situations outside your
control, such as when insurers
in your state are suffering
severe business losses.
Overall rises in claims
or losses can cause insurers
to become highly selective
in determining whom they
can afford to offer to insure.
That is why it is important to note that if you are licensed
to drive, by law, you are
eligible for insurance.
However, your options for
new coverage may be limited.
Each state has created and
regulates a market of last
resort for those who cannot
otherwise obtain coverage.
These groups have various
names, depending on the
state you live in, such
as assigned risk automobile
insurance plans or the residual
market, or the high risk
pool. Your assigned risk insurance agent or broker will know
more about the particulars
in your state.
Regardless of the reason you were dropped or cancelled by
your insurer, you need to
act immediately to get another
policy. Under no circumstance
should you drive your vehicle
without knowing one hundred
percent that you have current
insurance. Call your local
agent to help you find new
coverage. If you do find
yourself in the assigned
risk residual market pool,
the price may be higher
but it may be your only
alternative in maintaining
your freedom to drive.
The most obvious way to maintain your low risk status is
to keep a clean driving
record. If you've been in
an accident, consider taking
a defensive driving course.
Even those of us who have
been driving for years rarely
know the simple tricks to
preventing accidents through
defensive driving.
Also, look into purchasing
special safety and security
features for your car, such
as anti-lock brakes and
an alarm system, or try
OnStar.
Your assigned risk insurance
agent can give you further
tips on how to convince
your insurer you're a safe
driver.
Insurers often discount their rates in order to encourage
good driving practices and
the use of safety and security
precautions. Depending on
the insurance company, you
can often lower your rates
from 5 to 55 percent.
Sometimes the investment
you make in your vehicle
is worth the discount, and
sometimes it's simply worth
some peace of mind. For
example, the purchase of
anti-lock brakes merits
a discount from nearly every
insurer, but the discount
probably will not pay for
the brakes which cost several
hundred dollars during the
normal life of your vehicle.
Anti-lock brakes are touted,
nonetheless, as a life-saving
feature and deserves serious
consideration when safety
is a top priority. Insurers
generally offer discounts
for:
-
Safety Features Anti-lock brakes, air bags and passive
restraint systems i.e.,
automatic seat belts.
-
Defensive Driving Clean violation record, driver's
education courses for
teenagers and defensive
driving or accident
prevention courses for
adults insurance discounts
for the latter are required
in some states.
-
Security Systems Alarms, electronic locks, VIN etching
and automotive disabling
devices.
-
Changing The Driving Habits Try commuting by public
transit, using a company
vehicle for work-related
travel and car-pooling.
-
Formal Agreements Not to Drink and Drive The availability
of a discount for signing
such an agreement varies
among insurers and states,
however is a powerful
idea that works.
-
Buying Home Owners and Auto Policies from the Same Company
If you own a home and
an automobile and you
are insured by two different
companies, check into
the cost of carrying
both policies by one
insurer. Your agent
can give you guidance
as to which insurers
offer discounts. This
will always offer your
the best buy, so put
it in your corner when
shopping for rates
You can also lower your insurance rates by requesting higher
deductibles, which is
the amount of money
you pay out of pocket
before you make a claim.
Increasing your deductibles
on collision and comprehensive
coverage from $100 to
$250, or even $500,
will bring your rates
down. Moreover, you
may not need collision
and comprehensive coverage
if you drive an older
car. Ask your agent
which discounts are
available to you.
How does adding drivers to my policy affect
my rates?
The more people you allow to drive your vehicle on a regular
basis, the greater the
chances of your vehicle
being in an accident.
Teenagers are especially
expensive to insure
because they are the
least experienced drivers.
A driver's-ed course
can help ease the burden
of insurance costs since
it teaches your teenager
defensive driving techniques.
If your child's high
school does not offer
driver's-ed, try to
find one offered by
another school or a
private firm in the
area. After all, the
cost of driver's-ed
could be cheaper than
the extra cost of your
insurance. Many insurers
offer "good student"
discounts as well.
An adult's driving experience
can also affect your
rates significantly.
Don't assume that every
adult you know has been
driving since age 16
or 17 or is a competent
driver with a clean
driving or insurance
record. Again, taking
a defensive driving
course is a good way
for adults to prove
they are also responsible
drivers, thus lowering
their risk and their
insurance premium rates.
