Earthquake in Japan: insurance companies are suffering a severe impact

2011-03-12T03:15:00.000-08:00

Following the floods in Australia, New Zealand earthquake and now the earthquake in Japan, the invoice from reinsurers looks very high for the first months of the year.

The massive earthquake followed by tsunami in Japan is the second disaster faced in a very short time, insurance companies, and beaten less than a month by the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand.

On Friday, shares of European reinsurers fell into the bags: a half day, the German Munich Re and Hannover Re lost about 5% each in Frankfurt, as Swiss Re in Zurich, while French sank deeper Scor 7% in the Paris market.

A 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck Japan on Friday, followed by numerous aftershocks and tsunamis, generating warnings across the Pacific, leaving hundreds dead.

"After the floods in Australia (early years), the earthquake in New Zealand (late February) and now the earthquake in Japan, the reinsurers bill looks very high for the first months of the year" according to a specialist sector requiring anonymity.

Reinsurers will be "much affected" by the catastrophe that primary insurers, because its function is precisely to cover insurers, reminded the Christian Muschick AFP, German private bank analyst Silvia Quandt.

The first global reinsurer, Germany's Munich Re, "can finally bury their performance objectives for the current year," he said.

On Thursday, Munich Re said it would not get in 2011 expected net profit of 2,400 million euros if the impact of natural disasters reveals higher than expected.

Swiss Re, the second global reinsurer, Scor and France also made it known that it was too early to give figures on the financial consequences of catastrophe.

According to a note by the brokerage JPMorgan Cazenove, the cost associated with the earthquake in Japan could be between 1,000 and 2,000 million dollars only for European reinsurers, although it is an estimate "very preliminary."

"It's a big earthquake, but the damage is obviously less important than those caused by the Kobe earthquake in 1995, because the epicenter was at sea, and close to a less populated Muschick said.
In 1995, the Kobe earthquake cost U.S. $ 3,500 million to the insurance industry and had a total cost of U.S. $ 100,000 million, according to Swiss Re caused more than 6,400 victims.

As California, Japan is "well prepared" for this type of disaster, and reinsurers are careful to limit and diversify their risks in these regions, said Muschick, which predicts a rise in reinsurance rates.

Therefore, this type of disaster means "higher income a year or two later," said JP Morgan Cazenove.

In 2010, natural disasters and were very costly to the insurance industry: about U.S. $ 37,000 million, according to Munich Re

2011-03-12T02:34:00.000-08:00

MORE THAN 90 IN 12 HOURS REPLICA
The earth is still shaking

Japan's worst earthquake and the tsunami

nuclear explosion and leakage, killed 703, a deceased

U.S. alarm and destruction in the Pacific.

The largest earthquake in Japan's history and fifth in the world, ofmagnitude 8.8 on the Richter scale or 8.9 on the basis of the United States, which occurred on March 11, 2011, northwesternJapan and caused a tsunami with waves up to ten meters,destroyed everything in the front, leaving a projected balance sheet, according to Japanese police, the dead 703 and causeda stir worldwide.

But also caused on the morning of March 12th, a loud explosionnear the No. 1 reactor at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima,240 kilometers from Tokyo, where it increased the level ofradioactivity. In the area, according to witnesses, had columns ofdense white smoke, and four workers were injured, according toAFP.

This occurs after the nuclear alert was declared after radiation leaks, the Japanese government said they were "minimum" of two nuclear plants in Fukushima. They were the problems in fivereactors, forcing authorities to order the evacuation of some46,000 people.

Although initially tried to downplay the problem, is now recognizedthat the problems are serious and Industrial Safety Agency ofJapan Nuclear, said "the merger could be taking place in theirhearts" in the I Fukushima reactor.

In addition, the tsunami that struck the countries bordering thePacific Ocean, killing at least one dead and three injured inCalifornia, severe damage to San Francisco (United States) andother damage in Peru, weakened after reaching Mexico,Ecuador, Chile, the Hawaiian Islands and the Kuril Islands(Russia), among others.

But it is expected that Japan, in cleaning and debris removal affected areas, the death toll is higher because many are losing ships and trains, in which hundreds of passengers traveling.Therefore, speak Nipponese media that the victims will be about 1,200 people in nine affected provinces.

In the same vein, the spokesman said the minister, Yukio Edan, that the emergency committee meeting held in Tokyo, said the victims will be more than 1,000 people after the earthquake, the biggest "since the Meiji era, in the century XIX, as the recorded data. radiation leaks that the prime minister said to be "minimal" But the earthquake and subsequent tsunami, in addition to the irreparable loss of human lives and serious damage also caused on the morning of March 12, a day after the earthquake, a strong explosion near the No. 1 reactor, nuclear plant in Fukushima, where the level of radioactivity has grown considerably.

This explosion, face trestigos, columns of smoke density of great height, as reported by AFP, injuring four workers.

All this happened after the occurrence of radiation leaks at the Fukushima nuclear plant, according to the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan found radioactive cesium in the vicinity.

Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, who went to Fukushima nuclear power plant to inspect nuclear plant, said that radiation had been released from the plant was minimal.

However, measurements indicate that the level rose to a record level, according to the Japan Industrial Safety Agency, which amounted to 1,000 times higher than normal in a control room of one of the reactors. However, the government initially said the radiation released was too small and Nuclear Safety Agency says that did not involve a risk to the health of residents.

But as the day progresses, the news coming more and more alarming, according to the Agency for Nuclear and Industrial Safety in Japan, has come to ensure that "could be the ongoing fusion in their cores" on a nuclear reactor that Fukushima, also confirmed to Kyodo.

46,000 people evacuated in ten kilometers from the Fukushima nuclear plant

To avoid problems, the Japanese authorities extended the evacuation area from 3 to 10 km around the Fukushima nuclear power and ordered the evacuation of more than 46,000 people living nearby.

In addition to reducing the risk that may involve these nuclear power stations, experts opened in a controlled valve of bells that house the reactors, to try to cool. To this end, the release of steam, to relieve pressure inside.

The experts decided to make this move with the advice of the Nuclear Safety Agency of Japan, which had been a change in radiation levels, which increased in level 1 of Fukushima. And, according to their measurements, the main entrance radioactivity exceeded eight times its usual level.

Although he was hopeful that this will solve the problem, this attempt has proved unsuccessful because as cool now.

Moreover, in another nearby plant, the number two technicians also had problems when it comes to cool three of its four nuclear reactors, as declared by the operator of these facilities, Tokyo Electric Power Corporation.

The redemption will be long and arduous, the extent of affected areas after the disaster, the worst earthquake in Japan in 140 years, now expects the country of Japan a long task of rescuing the victims, assistance to survivors and work cleaning, to be followed by a painful reconstruction.

To carry out the Government of Japan has provided 50,000 military made rescue efforts, a task that will be facilitated by 190 aircraft and 25 ships.

Besides the United States has offered to help with transportation, so bring your boat, in which the troops will move Self-Defense Forces of Japan's army, to the affected areas.

Very serious damage to infrastructure and housing addition to the irreparable loss of life, Japan will face a long task of reconstruction. And so, after the earthquake and tsunami, especially after rl have been completely destroyed, according to the local agency Kyodo, at least 3,400 buildings and 200 have been victims of the flames after numerous fires.

Among the worst affected areas highlights the eastern province of Japan, Iwate, where entire villages disappeared after hitting the streets and houses and the tsunami, with waves of ten feet, dragged buildings, factories, offices, farms, boats, and a longList of buildings. Another city that suffered the worst part was terribly Sendai, a city of more than one million inhabitants, the capital of the province of Miyagi, where they drowned between 200 and 300 people after the tsunami.

Cuba - New Requirement re Travel Insurance

2010-12-31T17:11:00.000-08:00

Cuba - back to New travel insurance requirement

Effective May 1, 2010, is a requirement for travelers to Cuba for travel insurance in place - by the Cuban government.

Most important: The travel insurance must provide coverage for medical evacuation by air and be valid for the duration of their stay.

Upon arriving in the country without adequate insurance, a valid travel could pose a problem. In exceptional cases, may be able to purchase insurance from a Cuban company (which may be more expensive and not as complete as a policy of home.) The new rule applies to Cubans living abroad and for foreign visitors.

Upon arrival in Cuba visitors should submit a detailed copy of your travel insurance policy to make clear that it covers the length of stay and includes medical care and medical evacuation by air. Travelers bound for Cuba may wish to review your policy or call your insurer for clarification.

Visit our travel guide to Cuba and follow the link for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) for updates and important information about visiting Cuba, including visa requirements and passport (ie passport must be valid for six months following his departure from Cuba). In addition, travel irons and kettles may be confiscated at the entrance, so do some research before you go!

No travel restrictions against the FCO in place, at the time of writing, but it is advisable to check before booking a trip if the situation changes.

According to the FCO there are adequate medical facilities in the capital, Havana, but in other parts of the island, medical evacuation may be necessary. Medical care and evacuation by air is expensive. Without appropriate travel insurance visitors have to pay cash for treatment, which could cost approx. £ 200 per day during the hospital stay, plus medical and / or evacuation.

Some medications may not be available in Cuba, so take a good supply of your prescription drugs and a doctor's letter and a copy of the recipe.

As for money for the trip, the FCO also advises talking with your bank to ensure that your credit card or debit card work there. Please note that U.S. not accept dollars as payment and there is a commitment to change.

Channel Islands and Isle of Man Travel Insurance

2010-12-31T16:31:00.000-08:00

Channel Islands and the Isle of Man Travel Insurance

Many tourists from the UK may decide to avoid long trips this summer for vacation home or quickjump to Europe through the Channel Islands or through the Channel Tunnel or ferry.

May be due to financial problems, the fear of returning ash cloud, air strikes - or a combination.

Channel Islands attract thousands of visitors each year, and are perhaps the UK response to a tropical island paradise.

Jersey and Guernsey are the largest of the main islands, offering miles of natural beauty, beautiful coastlines, temperate climate, pristine beaches and seafood - perfect for family fun and relaxation. Ferry services are available to take day trips to explore nearby islands.

Alderney is a haven of peace, only eight miles off the coast of France and the third largest island. Has its own airport and port. The small islands of Herm and Sark are ideal for those who really want to get away from everything, especially what they are without cars! Imagine ...

There are many ways to arrive by air and sea. St. Helier in Jersey and St. Peter Port in Guernsey are the main centers to include regular ferry services from Weymouth, Poole and Portsmouth, as well as the services of Saint-Malo in Normandy.

Important changes re Health Care:

British citizens who visit the Channel Islands should be aware that the reciprocal health agreement with the United Kingdom ended on March 31, 2010. Previously, visitors are entitled to free medical care, as with the NHS.

Since the agreement ended this year it is advisable for visitors to take adequate travel insurance to visit the islands. (The same applies to residents of the Channel Islands when visiting the UK). For more information, visit the Directgov website - click here.

Isle of Man: The Isle of Man is situated in the Irish Sea between Northern Ireland and northern England. The reciprocal healthcare agreement between the UK and the Isle of Man is also due to end March 31, 2010, but has been extended for another six months - until late September 2010.

Until then the visitors from the United Kingdom are entitled to free access to NHS services in the event of injury or illness, but - be warned - the cover does not extend to potentially costly medical evacuation (if necessary) to carry home if you can do so by the normal methods of transport.

Travel Insurance Claims - This may surprise you!

2010-12-31T16:12:00.000-08:00

As with everything else in the current financial climate extreme, the costs are rising. There have been many news reports recently about the alarming increase in the number of strong travel insurance claims.

The Foreign Office (FCO) "British Behavior Abroad 'report published in July showed that from April 2009-March 2010 the British were going abroad once again proved to be adequately prepared for the potential dangers of travel and many do not buy insurance travel

Apparently, there have been a big jump in applications for travel insurance for medical expenses incurred by backpackers and gappers and those involved in risky activities and adventure sports. Along with costly bills for medical treatment, many people these days are traveling with expensive personal items at risk of loss or theft have, such as laptops, iPods, iPhones, etc.

Problems with the FCO and British consulates help includes the detention of alcohol or drug related crimes, hospitalization, death, rape, sexual assault, lost or stolen passports, and traffic accidents. Many of these problems involve very expensive hospital treatment and repatriation bills - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the local consulate does not cover!

FCO quoted research which showed that Britons are willing to spend an average of 12.00 pounds in magazines and candy at the airport, which is more than double the base price for single trip insurance! Indicate that one in five (19 percent) of Britons still go abroad without travel insurance. Also, the British spend more time cleaning their homes before going on holiday to do research in their country of destination and local laws and customs.

Spain entered the top of the list of consular assistance (5283), followed by Thailand, Pakistan, Cyprus, Germany and Greece. Consular staff around the world is with 1.95 million hits during the period of one year. Someone has to pay for this, and ultimately ends up being that, the taxpayers.

Added to the irresponsible behavior of many travelers is the mistaken belief that the nearest consulate will be able to get away by posting bail or paying hospital bills. If the traveler to do some basic preparation and prevention, such as checking the website of FCO travel advice for your destination before you go, and travel insurance, this could reduce the burden and cost to consulates. The FCO has sent a clear message to holdaymakers to have a good time, but to please do your bit and be prepared.

This applies to travel to anyone, but especially for young people traveling (often alone) to distant places remote. There have been cases of young people from being seriously injured or die tragically abroad. If you do not have travel insurance that is left to the grieving parents and family to find the thousands of pounds it costs to repatriate the bodies for burial. It can be alarming for parents to read these reports so I can only say that if you have young gappers go around the world would be money well spent if it is sure to have at least the minimum insurance for backpackers before go. The relatively small cost could save thousands and much concern and sadness, if things go wrong.

The same is true for skiers and snowboarders - if you end up needing to mountain rescue, air ambulance and medical treatment costs of these services often jumps back to families unless they pay for ski insurance appropriate.

Many travel insurance companies have reported that they could face having to raise premiums by up to twenty percent due to the huge losses they are suffering with the (often preventable) claims - and the imminent rise in VAT 20% next January will not help.

Through these websites / blogs that are constantly trying to help travelers avoid common problems by raising awareness of the FCO 'Know Before You Go "campaign and the need for travel insurance.

People like to complain about insurance companies being a necessary evil, or ask why they are necessary at all. However, be sure that travel insurance will be there for you as long as you have a valid claim. It is not likely to hear something positive about the travel insurance companies in the news, but it can take from us what they do pay claims and can be considerable!

If travelers would take on a more responsible and serious attitude to travel and do everything possible to avoid problems of preventing this would help lower the cost for everyone involved, including the FCO and the British taxpayer. It will also help keep down the cost of travel insurance premiums and ultimately benefit the traveler.

Travel Insurance Rates Rise - But We Have Good News!

2010-12-31T15:54:00.000-08:00

Travel Insurance Rates Rise - But we have good news!

We are very happy to pass along some cheer to all our customers - and future clients ...

Here at Travel Insurance Direct are happy to announce that we have no plans to transmit the increasing IPT (Insurance Premium Tax - the insurance equivalent to VAT) to our customers and we are succeeding in the absorption of most further increases in the premium subscribers.

The price of everything related to travel has increased dramatically .... The airport departure tax has increased VAT to about 17.5% to 20%. Everything contributes to an even bigger bite of budgets precious vacation.

Insurers generally have reported that the increase is necessary due to the rising cost of medical claims - and fraudulent claims. Seems to be how the world these days that the actions of the few dishonest means that the rest of us are punished by having to pay more.

Always be careful when choosing a travel insurance policy. Make sure you cover all planned activities have adequate medical coverage, as well as important basic concepts such as emergency medical repatriation, legal expenses and personal liability. For a check, or skiing holiday winter sports including mountain rescue and medical evacuation.

Once your travel insurance policy is hidden in hand luggage and are away on holiday, can be very easy to forget that the insurance does not provide a license to act irresponsibly! In fact, the surest way of thinking is to act as if uninsured.

Many travelers neglect to take out insurance at all, it's crazy, especially when participating in winter sports or other potentially dangerous activities. The expenses that may incur if it goes wrong are astronomical compared to the relatively small cost of travel insurance.

The costs of emergency medical care in many countries can be very high, and uninsured travelers are stuck paying those bills. Contrary to a mistaken belief that they have many, the British consulate does not cover costs.

For an example of how affordable travel insurance can be, our individual travel insurance trip starts from £ 4.19 and our backpacker policies ranging from just 0.29 p per day! For families, or those planning to have more than one trip a year, the multi-annual policy is usually the best travel value. Given the amount of money you are likely to spend a round of drinks and snacks at the airport waiting for your flight, there really is no excuse not to insure your trip! (Think about it ...)

We are promoting and enourage our customers to visit the website of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel tips and advice country - as part of its' Know Before You Go campaign. The informed traveler is obviously less likely to break laws and found innocent in difficult situations abroad, which means, of course, a smaller number of travel insurance claims and premiums remain lower for all!

Travel insurance can be offered or provided, along with bank accounts or credit cards, or by several companies. These policies may be suitable for your needs, but be careful with anything that seems too free or cheap ... You get what you pay! More likely is that insurance benefits have been reduced somewhere - perhaps with a higher excess (the amount of a claim is paid) or a lower amount of insurance. The insurance can not cover pre-existing medical conditions to all or only to a limited extent.

Travel insurance can be purchased in a variety of shapes for all tastes, from a single trip, annual multi-trip, with or without ski insurance and the option to add extra coverage, such as golf and equipment office.

The smart way to buy insurance is not just about cost, but to find an established and reliable company that provides the coverage you need at the best price. For a quote, click here.

Stay warm and safe trip!

Thirty-four vehicles earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's TOP SAFETY PICK award for 2008. The award recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side, and rear crashes based on ratings in the Institute's tests. Winners also have to be equipped with electronic stability control (ESC), which research shows can significantly reduce the risk of crashing. Compared with last year, automakers have more than doubled the number of vehicles that meet criteria for TOP SAFETY PICK. At the beginning of the 2007 model year, 13 models qualified, but as manufacturers have made changes and introduced new and safer vehicle designs, 10 additional vehicles qualified during the year. Now another 11 vehicles are being added to the list for 2008. Designating winners based on the tests makes it easier for consumers to identify vehicles that afford the best overall protection without sifting through multiple sets of comparative crash test results. All current car and minivan models, small and midsize SUVs, and small and large pickup trucks are eligible to win TOP SAFETY PICK. Eight vehicles from Ford and its subsidiary, Volvo, make the list of winners for 2008. Seven winners are from Honda and its subsidiary, Acura.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ - Van Drivers Recommended To Use Motor Loans On Insurance

Van owners could be well advised to ensure that they are using money from their motor loan to take out adequate insurance for their vehicle, it has been suggested.

According to research by AA Insurance, about a quarter (24 per cent) of commercial van drivers surveyed claim that if their means of transportation was unavailable then they could lose up to an average of 362 pounds every day. As a result, consumers could well struggle to meet bill requirements, personal loan repayments and overdrafts.

Head of van insurance for AA Insurance Rhiannon Parker said: "Love them or hate them, vans are a big part of our culture and contribute enormously to the UK economy.

"Whether they're sparkies or plumbers, drivers face significant loss of earnings if their van's out of service, so it's essential to ensure they're properly covered when the worst happens."

Taking the time to make sure motor loan money is spent on a sufficient insurance policy was also advised as the average commercial van was reported to carry worth an average of 1,382 pounds in goods.

Overall, van drivers were reported to contribute over 35 billion pounds to the British economy every year and have an annual estimated turnover of some 215 billion pounds. Meanwhile, more than half (59 per cent) of van drivers believe that the vehicle is essential to the smooth running of their business, once again indicating the need to ensure motor loan cash is spent on sufficient insurance.

Earlier this week, Ian Crowder, public relations manager for the AA, claimed that despite a general increase in insurance costs, those who shop around for cover will be able to spend their car loan money effectively. Pointing to figures from the financial services company indicating a six per cent rise in insurance premiums over the course of 2006, he suggested that those using their money wisely can still access a competitively-priced deal.

He said: "For all the upward pressure on insurance premiums, there's always going to be a new provider coming in, trying to get a market share and offering big discounts. So for the savvy insurance buyer, there is always a provider willing to offer low premiums to get your business."

Despite insurance premiums falling by a "fraction of a per cent" during the first quarter of 2007, the public relations manager suggested that costs are set to rise throughout the remainder of this year which consequently may catch drivers off guard - if they do not plan their finances sufficiently - resulting in a increased pressure to service car costs and pay off debts.

Mr Crowder also reported that the value of car insurance claims is set to "rise fairly steeply" due to increasing costs in repairing vehicles and growth in the number of people looking to make personal injury claims after being involved in an accident. Meanwhile, those looking to purchase a car are being advised to opt for a competitively-priced personal loan to finance their buy instead of choosing a showroom deal.

Research conducted by Alliance & Leicester earlier this year indicated that drivers deciding to go for forecourt finance products are wasting an average of 3,000 pounds - a figure which could well aid consumers in making repayments on other forms of debt such as credit cards, overdrafts and Secured Loans.

2010-12-31T15:25:00.000-08:00

by cursedthing

Question by : What papers do you need for car insurance?Alright I don't know too much all I know is I'm determined, I want a car with car insurance on it. My dad has a car in which he is going to let me have and I am going with him next week to get car insurance. What papers do I need to present in order to get the car insurance because I want to be ready. I'm not sure what insurance I want yet but I believe he might be putting the insurance in his name and mine being that I am a young driver.Best answer:

Answer by JeffIf your dad puts you on his insurance , it will be alot cheaper and you don't have to do anything. Your dad can call them and tell them to put you on the insurance. he tells them what kind of car it is and they will tell him how much it will be. You only need liabilty insurance. Once you get the insurance you have to go get the registration at motor vehicles. Take the title of the car with you. providing you have a drivers license. After the registration is done and you have all the paper work. All you have to do , is take your car thru inspection. ( 45 days to do it ) good Luck
