Happy 4th of July! - Independence Day Tips
July 04, 2007 11:07 AM
Fireworks, barbeques, family and friends! Today is Independence Day. A celebration worthy of such festivities. However, it is also one of the deadliest days to drive in California. With alcohol playing the major role in this statistic, it is important to recognize your surroundings, plan ahead and party safe.
1. Don't drink and drive. Either drink or choose to drive. DO NOT DO BOTH. By planning ahead, you make a conscious and responsible choice. You can save your own life or the life of another by taking cabs or designatined a sober driver to take the responsibility of driving you and your party home safely.
2. Wear Seatbelts. As they say in California, "click it or ticket". Wearing a seatbelt has been proven time and time again to keep you safe and save lives. While you can't control the actions of other drivers sharing the road, you can certainly prevent serious injury or even death by wearing your seatbelt.
3. Slow Down. The number one cause of accidents on the California freeways are a result of someone drving too fast and another driver going to slow. Watch your speed and make sure you are obeying all traffic laws. Pay attention to your surroundings, check your tires, watch out for any weather conditions or construction areas.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July.

Auto Insurance Accident Claims - Shocking Study
July 04, 2007 10:32 AM
If you have been in a car accident, motorcycle accident or any other motor vehicle accident for which you have insurance coverage, collecting from your insurance for damages to your car or motorcycle can be more complex and difficult than ever expected.
CNN recently conducted an 18-month investigation and their findings are shocking to the average consumer - who now pays higher insurance premiums than any other time in our history.
Here are some interesting parts of the article:
"The result has been billions in profits for insurance companies and little, if anything, for the public, according to University of Nevada insurance law professor Jeff Stempel."
"Shannon Kmatz, a police officer and former Allstate claims agent, said company employees were encouraged to get rid of claims quickly and cheaply and even offered accident victims as little as $50, telling them to take it or leave it."
Basically, insurance companies have an unlimited amount of resources, and their main concern is profits rather than the well being of their customers. Insurance Companies are willing to exhaust every avenue to prevent their policy holders from collecting for legitimate claims. This is a must read article.
Here is the link to the entire article at CNN
