Why not let government control every aspect of our lives. Maybe they should regulate haircuts too.

Then, you have to be appointed with each of the companies for which you want to sell in order to sell their products. I would only recommend it if you have extreme fortitude and entrepreneurial make up. If you’re talking about being an independent broker, you need to be licensed in your state to sell insurance.

]]> Comment on how can i claim from my small business insurance or life insurance? i recently had an incident outside? by Roll Off Rochester http://moviebusinessreport.com/how-can-i-claim-from-my-small-business-insurance-or-life-insurance-i-recently-had-an-incident-outside/comment-page-1/#comment-1235 Roll Off Rochester Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:57:56 +0000 http://moviebusinessreport.com/how-can-i-claim-from-my-small-business-insurance-or-life-insurance-i-recently-had-an-incident-outside/#comment-1235 As several posters explained neither the small business insurance nor the life insurance can assist you with a personal disability and/or injury claim. However, you still might want to check since there is a new life policy that includes coverage for disability and/or you might at least have the provision that allows you to forgo paying your premium while on disability. Another thought is that if you have a cash value life insurance policy, i.e. a Universal Life or Whole Life, the policy might have enough money in savings to give you a loan which will help your current cash flow situation. You should contact your agent to discuss these options. In addition double check if you have any other short term disability coverage--the type that pays some of their specific bills, i.e. some people purchase this on their car loans, on credit cards, through their bank or even if they are members of certain trade associations. The other options are checking to see if your city, state or county has a crime victims compensation fund--some of these funds help with medical bills, medicines, equipment and lost wages. While the amount is not usually large any little bit will help. And consider getting a free consultation from an attorney to review your options vis a vis suing the perpetrator--this would be a real long shot in my opinion since he is probably broke but who knows. He might have just been released from a state mental health clinic and maybe you can go after the state for releasing this threat onto the public? or some other third party liability! I am sorry that this happened to you. However, do look at the bright side you survived! And you will get over this and be stronger and more compassionate it for it. Good Luck!

The internet isn't the best way to shop for insurance. Let your fingers do the walking and call EVERY insurance agent in the phone book because the price does vary a lot! It may take some time but will be worth it. Plus you may pick up a customer!

There is nothing that government intrusion can't ***** up beyond recognition. Hey PJ... not everyone can afford Auto insurance either... it like health insurance is available to anybody that can afford it... and while you may cite pre-existing conditions ect... that is like people with bad driving records... of course it is going to cost more to get it, but it CAN be obtained. While I wouldn't mid seeing a little more regulation on the insurance industry, the health care bill being presented goes beyond rational thought.
