Accident Claims
There is a lot to consider when talking about Accident Claims. Maybe you have heard of the no win no fee term and know what it means. For those who don`t this is the definition. The no win no fee arrangement is the one in which you have to pay the lawyer only with the condition of him or her winning your case. So, in other words, if you want to get an injury claim, an accident at work compensation, etc. and you hire a lawyer that doesn`t win your case, you don`t have to pay him or her anything. So this is very good news. This is the reason why. The no win no fee arrangement (or the conditional fee arrangement, how it`s technically called) gives the opportunity of claiming to people who wouldn`t have afforded it otherwise. It has replaced the traditional fee arrangements with a fee that only applies in the case of a successful compensation claim. Still, there can be some catches to thiss, and you should be informed thoroughly before you make any decision. Accident Claims can be a complicated business.

Small Boat Insurance
you`ll want to ensure your small boat is protected from thieves and should the worse happen and your small boat gets stolen, you`ll want to be covered and be able to buy a replacement model. Taking out Small Boat Insurance is one way to make sure that stolen property is covered when thieves strike. You`ll find there are numerous companies that can offer Small Boat Insurance and they are very comprehensive policies indeed. Typical Small Boat Insurance policies cover you for theft of your small boat either from its usual place of storage or when it is transit. As long as you have taken suitable security measures such as fitting locks or clamps, you`ll find that your small boat is covered.

When you disagree with your insurance company, about a claim, you have options you can use without going to court.

#1. If your agent is unable to solve your problem, get the name and phone number of your insurance companies Claims Department. It?s usually an 800 number. Call and ask if they have a Consumer Complaint Department? Most do. If so, talk to them because they may be able to help you. Don?t hang up until you get the specific name of the person with whom you spoke. (Make a note of the person you talked with and hold onto that until you?ve finished with your dispute).

#2. Be ready to support your case by sending a covering letter (to that individual whom you spoke with) which contains all the documents you have to back up your position.

#3. All insurance companies have either an ?Appraisal Service? or ?Arbitration Service? to help settle differences and/or disputes. Your policy should explain these options.(If you can?t find either of these ask your agent to find them for you)!

#4. If you?ve followed their rules for resolving your dispute, and you?re still not satisfied, your own state?s insurance department should be able to help you.

#5. If, after hearing from your own insurance company?s people (your confident that you?ve not been handled properly) you should call 1 800 942-4242 ( a toll-free Consumer Information Service) sponsored by the insurance industry.

Trained personnel are available to assist consumers who have complaints. THIS ?HELP LINE? OPERATES ON EASTERN TIME, MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM.

#6. ALSO: An ?Independent Arbitrator?, who allegedly has experience in insurance problems, can decide if what you?ve been told (or offered to settle your claim) is fair. You can get to them by calling THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION 1 212 484-4000 or they can be contacted (via the internet) at .

#7. MEDIATION: More often than not the Mediator does not have the authority to make a binding decision or issue an award to either party. The mediator only recommends a solution.

Mediation is a solid first step because it can negate the need for further expense on both sides. The first thing you should do is check the language in your auto insurance policy where it will spell out who will mediate (and/or arbitrate) a claim. You should submit a DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION FORM to whoever is listed in your policy. On that Demand for Arbitration Form you can specify whether you want ?MEDIATION? or ?ARBITRATION?.

DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION FORMS are available from your state?s Department Of Insurance, or you can print a copy of a Demand Form from the American Arbitration Association?s web site - - which can be found (as I?ve listed above in Number #6) at .

AS YOU MOVE ALONG WITH THE ABOVE YOU MUST NEVER FORGET THESE TWO FOLLOWING (A & B = Below) CRUCIAL FACTS:

A. Mediation is much less expensive than Arbitration.

B. The Mediation Decisions are only considered to be advisory. However, The Arbitration Rulings are absolutely binding!
