Green Insurance Agency Datasheet

i did get the other cars tag number and the officer was going to see if he can find the other person. i pick up police report today.


Laws and insurance regulations could vary depending where you are, but in the United States, you'd need "Collision Coverage" to pay for the damage to your car.

Liability coverage is to take care of damage to the other person's car or injuries to other people.

"uninsured motorists" coverage is usually for injuries to you or people in your car - but if your state has uninsured motorists property damage coverage, it might apply - my state doesn't.

It's unusual for an accident where you hit someone in the rear not to be your fault, so make sure you get a copy of the police report and the insurance company gets a copy so your rates don't go up.

if i run into a house with ny car, will my liability car insurance cover damage?
Green Insurance Agency Postcard

I hit the house i rent with my car. All i have is liability insurance, wondering if im covered?


Yes, you should be covered if you are carrying liability insurance coverage at the time you hit the said house. The question here is how much in total dollar figures are the damages to the house worth? New York has the 25/50/10 rule; the last figure means your liability insurance should at least carry $10,000 that covers for any property damage you cause. Hopefully you're carrying more than that, especially if the total damages exceed that $10K minimum limit. You should check with your insurer right away.

Also it's just worth mentioning that since you only have liability insurance you'll probably have to shoulder the costs of any damages or needed repairs on your vehicle. Comprehensive insurance usually takes care of that, but you might know that already. :-)

Hope this helps!

In California, what exactly is covered with liability car insurance?
Green Insurance Agency Brochure

My car is only covered by basic liability insurance required by the state. I was recently in an accident where another vehicle swerved causing me to roll over 5 times into a ditch and total my car. The other vehicle didn't stop but there were several witness' to verify my story. No other vehicles were damaged. What options do I have as far as replacing or repairing my car via a claim etc ?


If you only have liability coverage, you are not covered for the damage to your vehicle. It does not matter if another vehicle was involved. That is why insurance offers both collision and comprehensive coverage. In some states, there is Uninsured Property Damage coverage, but this too is usually optional.

Sorry, you have to repair or replace your vehicle without the aid of your insurance company.

Car liability insurance in US: The max. amount for bi & pd very low. Who pays when loss of income is millions?
 Green Insurance Agency Business Card

I am puzzled - in Germany my car liability insurance sum is more than 10 million. But during my research about US car liability maximums I have not seen more than 500,000.
Assumed I injure someone who is earning more than 100,000 per year so badly that s/he cannot work anymore. Car insurance does not cover that income loss. I cannot pay for the damage. Who takes how care of this financial problem? Or is everybody in the US insured against disability?


Most people who want more than $500,000 in coverage will get an umbrella policy. These usually range from $1,000,000- $10,000,000 in liability coverage and would cover not only auto liability, they also cover the home, boat, motorcycle, and some cases business liabilities as well.

    Overcoming Bias : Insurance As Signal

    There are higher-yielding varieties of groundnut than those that farmers in Malawi tend to plant, but getting them to switch is tough. Better seed is pricey, increasing their risk. So researchers from the World Bank ran an experiment. With local NGOs, they offered the farmers loans. Some loans even came with a crop-insurance policy: if the season was dry and the yield a dud, the debt would be forgiven. The farmers’ risk was lowered. Of farmers offered conventional loans, 33% signed up. With the added incentive of insurance, 18% did. The researchers were puzzled.

    It’s been more than 30 years since microfinance began its fantastic rise, spreading billions of dollars in credit to hundreds of millions of overlooked borrowers around the world. Insurance is the next big promise of financial services for the poor.  But there aren’t many takers.  That’s not from lack of interest on the part of suppliers. The Gates Foundation has plowed millions of dollars into microinsurance initiatives … , New York University economist Jonathan Morduch and his co-authors toss out other reasons microinsurance may be a hard sell. First, being poor is not without complications, and that’s part of what makes a loan attractive. Sure, microcredit is typically meant to help build a business, but cash is fungible–if there’s no money for dinner one night, a line of credit, whatever its intent, solves the problem. Not so for insurance, which asks people to decide in advance which of the many risks they face they should hedge. Plus, even without formal insurance, most people already have some version of a safety net: friends, family and–in truly catastrophic situations–government. …
