CarInsuranceList.com Considers Stability of Insurers in Current Credit Crisis
For six years CarInsuranceList.com has tracked developing trends affecting drivers and their insurance coverage. In the current economic and credit crisis in the United States, some insurers are, themselves, in financial trouble. To alert consumers to at-risk companies and to apprise them of the steps to take if an insurer declares bankruptcy, CarInsuranceList has added a section entitled, "Assessing the Financial Strength of Your Car Insurance Company." This material, in addition to the site's existing database of news, research, insurance quotes, and comprehensive insurance company reviews, makes CarInsuranceList.com an indispensable source for all aspects of automotive coverage.
San Jose, Calif. (PRWEB) November 6, 2008 -- Although media coverage suggests that lending and investment institutions are the only companies on shaky ground as a result of the credit collapse, the aftershocks of that event are being felt in all sectors of commerce, including car insurers with less than an AAA S&P rating. In anticipation of third quarter earnings reports that may reveal insurers who will have difficulty meeting their financial obligations, CarInsuranceList.com has added a section on "Assessing the Financial Strength of Your Car Insurance Company" to its existing car accident statistics, research articles, car insurance quotes, and insurance company reviews.
"No one can keep up with all this confusing and frightening financial news without some help," said Jon Davidson, CarInsuranceList.com CEO. "We're all trying to make the best decisions we can, save money, and hedge against future disasters. Something like your car insurance company going bankrupt can be that one extra little headache you just do not need right now."
In the event of an insurer's bankruptcy, policy holders should immediately contact the company to find out the status of both their individual coverage and of the company itself. Corroborate that information with a call to the state insurance department. Find out which insurer has been assigned to cover the policy and immediately talk to that rescuing company and negotiate the terms of a new policy. If you have a claim in progress, make sure that your "state guaranty association" will be covering the payment.
"These self-protective measures aren't complicated," said Davidson, "but most policy holders have never had the need to learn how to handle a bankruptcy situation, nor do they know that almost all states have mechanisms in place to cover insurance claims in the event of an insurer going under."
Although it is possible that ailing insurance companies will be eligible to receive part of the $700 billion aid package voted by Congress in September, there is, as of yet, no guarantee of that fact. "Better to learn now how to protect yourself if your insurer is in financial trouble," said Davidson, "before their pain becomes your pain."
Specialized sections of this nature reflect CarInsuranceList's commitment to educating readers as well as to providing them with multiple cheap insurance quotes. A request for a quote matches a user with an area company prepared to meet state requirements at a good price. Additionally, readers will find articles on accident statistics and defensive driving along with "how to" information on topics like avoiding road rage.
