Many people take insurance as some kind of financial obligation that must be avoided. Why an individual should pay a high monthly premium for car insurance? There are 3 very important reasons why you should always pay your monthly insurance premium. First, most states require that you insure your car, second, your insurance pays for damages on your vehicle and third, in case of accidents, your insurance will cover all or most of the expenses connected with the accident.

It is very importan to have a car insurance. Imagine if you get involved in a road accident and you do not have any car insurance at all the you can be in lot of trouble If you do not have any insurance, you will have to pay your hospital bills, your car repairs and others from your own pockets. Even if you are a financially well off and you have some money stash in the bank, paying for these things may not really be easy.

Complying With State Requirements. Almost all states in the country require drivers to insure their automobiles to some level. Some states may only require you to carry a minimum insurance coverage on your car against accidents while other states require more. In an event where an officer pulls you over and you cannot present your car insurance papers when requested, your car may be impounded and you will be fined. If you are in a hurry then the whole episode can be quite a nightmare. Look at international insurance web world for more information.

If you are one of those individuals who are always on the go, you cannot afford to be pulled over and your automobile confiscated so make sure that you are up to date with your policy premium payments. Always remember that once you do not pay your insurance premiums your car insurance coverage will lapse and you will be without any insurance protection.

Since different states have different rules when it comes to car insurance coverage, you should first check with the proper authorities as to what types of insurance coverage is required in your state. After checking with the proper authorities regarding this matter, find a good insurance company where you can get your car insurance.

If you go to any car dealers in any part of the country then they have their own preferred car insurance company which they work with. Ask your car dealer for referrals to their car insurance company when you are buying your car. Local car insurance companies know about the rules and regulations governing car insurance coverage in your state so you need not worry about not getting the right coverage for your car.

The Second Condition of Average



Insurance - The Second Condition of Average


The second condition of average is not strictly a condition of average at all, because it is essentially a contribution clause which apportions the loss in a particular manner. The key to its application lies in the determination by insurers of which policy is more specific. Clearly, if both policies are identical, then neither is more specific than the other, and the second condition cannot apply. It will similarly not apply if the two policies cannot be compared because each policy covers a variety of items not covered by the other, in addition to those items common to both, because in this case neither is more specific than the other.



If the two policies are capable of being compared and all items covered by one fall within the scope of the other (which also covers other items), then the second policy is wider and the second condition operates.




The second condition effectively applies to convert the wider policy into an insurance of the excess of value beyond the amount insured by the more specific policy. It excludes items common to both policies from the operation of the wider policy if the loss is covered by the specific "narrower" policy. The two conditions usually read as follows:



"Whenever a sum insured is declared to be subject to the Two Conditions of Average if such sum shall at the commencement of any damage be less than the value of the property covered within such sum insured, the amount payable by the Insurer in respect of such damage shall be proportionately reduced, but if any of the property covered within such sum insured shall at the commencement of any damage be also covered by any more specific insurance, then this policy shall only insure the same for any value in excess of the amount of such more specific insurance (s) which excess value shall be deemed to be the value of the property covered hereby and subject to 1 above.



For the purpose of 2 only a more specific insurance is one which at the time of damage applies only

to property as described herein, and at any but not all of the locations to which this insurance applies."




Obviously, where the first condition of average is applicable, then allowance must be made for the proportion of the loss which the insured must bear himself, prior to determining the liability of the insurers under each policy, i.e:



Sum Insured

-------------------------------- x Loss

Total true value of subject



matter of policies, less value of narrower policy



Where there is a third policy, it will not contribute until the second policy is exhausted, and so on.
