We know a lot of you already recognize the importance of insurance, especially life insurance. However though, in the years of Axis Capital, with our group of insurance and reinsurance companies scattered from our main base in Bahamas to Singapore, America and United Kingdom, we have encountered a lot of people who has a lot of reason not to purchase one. Here are some of their points: 1. I'm Young, Healthy, Won't Die Anytime Soon and Just Don't Need It Life insurance's main importance is to have SOMETHING TO LEAVE BEHIND FOR YOUR LOVED ONES WHEN YOU PASS AWAY. Often time's people put off the things that they need for the things that they want. Regardless, the fact of the matter is that 99% of the families with dependent children in this country, NEED life insurance. No one buys life insurance with the hope or expectation of using it. Just like everyone has to buy car insurance without the expectation of needing it either. You purchase it with the hope that you won't need it but can sleep sound at night knowing that if something happened to you, your family would be taken care of financially. 2. I'll Purchase It Sometime Soon or I Don't Have Time For It Procrastination is one of our biggest problems in society. Life insurance, though, is not one of those things that should be put aside till later. Despite the fact that we all believe we'll live long lives, well into our senior years, the devastating effect that not having life insurance could have on your family is immeasurable. 3. I Have Plenty Of Assets, I Don't Need Life Insurance Life insurance is meant to conserve an individual's estate for their survivors, as well as replace lost income. Although expecting your surviving family members to review and liquidate their assets to make ends meet is not a horrible thing, or unheard of;

In order to gain more money in the now so-materialized world, people and companies have thought of things to gain out of greed. Insurance agencies are no exceptions especially in places which have lose insurance policies like Jakarta in Indonesia, South Africa and Cambodia. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had released the most common insurance fraud used by the insurance companies. Premium Diversions It is considered as an embezzlement of insurance premiums and is considered the most common type. This happens when the insurance agent doesn't wire the money to the insurance company and keeps it to himself. Other form of premium diversion scam involves selling policies without license, collecting premiums and then not paying claims. Payers are advised to keep track of this kind of fraud by knowing and verifying the legitimacy of the agent. Asset Diversion This large-scale scheme involves theft of insurance company assets held to pay valid claims. This most frequently occurs as insurance companies merge, reorganize or change ownership. Fee Churning In this scheme, a group of people set up a company that will eventually fail. The business gets involved in reinsurance agreements, and people in different steps of the process pocket commissions. The amount of a premium is cut by each repeated commission until the money to pay claims runs out. This scheme lasts as long as it does because each individual move looks normal as it occurs. The full picture emerges only after the damage is already done. How to report Insurance Fraud 1. Report fraudulent behavior to your state's insurance frauds bureau. 2. Contact the specific insurance company's fraud hotline if one is available. 3. Turn in the social security fraud perpetrators. 4. When you are reporting the scheme, make sure to give all pertinent details and any other documents that may help. Be Wise. Act Wise. The most important factor before buyi

We serve a host of industries and diverse coverage needs through our operating subsidiaries and branch offices in Bermuda, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Singapore and the United States. The company also service SE Asian countries such as Jakarta Indonesia, KL Malaysia and many more. Nowadays it is common for an individual to be covered by two, or even three, health insurance policies. One reason for this is the increase in the price of health-care services in the past decade. Ages ago health insurance cover was considered fairly sufficient for an entire family. Nowadays, it will hardly be sufficient to pay for a five-day stay in a hospital and hearing all about the complaints. Furthermore, medical insurance cover from employers is insufficient. In both conditions, one has to buy another policy. But while a larger insurance cover is a good thing, multiple health insurance policies can lead to confusion when making a claim. To avoid misinterpretations ask these questions, like should a person claim only from one insurer or does he need to inform his insurer about the additional covers? Maybe ask, will the hospital permit two cashless claims for the same illness or will he get the no-claim bonus if the second policy is not invoked? It's all rather unclear for the policyholder, who may possibly be under strain due to the illness. The first thing to know is that it pays to apprise all insurers every time there is a hospitalization. This does not mean that one can distinctly claim the expenses from each of them. "You cannot profit from a medical insurance plan," says Joydeep Roy, chief executive of L&T General Insurance Company. Review, since you may want to know why the person would claim from the second policy. After all, isn't his money c

Jakarta, Indonesia - Choosing the right insurance coverage isn't easy. If you are under-insured, you could be left with unpaid claims. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to insure the contents of your home for much less than they are worth, you could be paying for more coverage types than you need. The key is in knowing what's covered and what's not. Account for any recent remodels and look to see if your current coverage keeps pace with inflation.Axis Capital, a group of insurers and reinsurers with the main location in Bermuda and with international branch in UK, US, Singapore and Australia has listed some steps for you to know if you are under or over insured. What you need is coverage that's just right. Here's how to get it, and it shouldn't take more than 4 or 5 hours of your time spent reviewing your homeowner's insurance policy, talking to your agent, and doing a little research. Step 1 Pull out your policy before the annual renewal date. Check for coverage limits, exclusions and restrictions. Always remember that all homeowners insurance isn't created equal. That's why it pays to review your coverage every year to ensure your policy meets your evolving needs. Begin by understanding the types of coverage available. Step 2 Estimate the value of your home's contents. Unless you do a complete inventory of your household furnishings and personal possessions, the things you own could be worth a lot more than you think. Replacement cost coverage is more expensive but usually insures your personal property for what it costs to buy new. Step 3 If you have recently remodeled your house, you should increase your coverage. It is a general rule of thumb to increase coverage once you have completely remodeled project that cost more than at least 5% of

We know there are still people out there who are still wondering what home insurance is and are planning to get one. However, before you get one, Axis Capital with a group of insurance and reinsurance companies all over the world provides you this check list to review and consider about the mutual relationship of your home and insurance. First off, the home of your dreams may be a nightmare to insure if it's built in a disaster-prone area, is above a certain age or has a checkered claims history. It doesn't necessarily mean you can't find homeowners insurance anywhere, but you may end up paying a steep price for it. 1. Homes in disaster-prone areas We have thousands of disasters every year. From tsunamis in Sumatra affecting lives to almost all islands in Indonesia including Jakarta in 2004 to earthquakes in Japan losing millions of dollars and hundreds of lives in 2011 to typhoon Katrina which devastated not only America but other countries as well, insurance companies have the reason to insure their own business. Take precautions, listen to warnings and make preparations. 2. Older homes You love the charm of your 1920s bungalow or Victorian-era home, but the age and style make them harder to insure. Insurers also are likely to shy away from insuring your home if the electrical system and plumbing haven't been updated or the roof hasn't been replaced. 3. Vacation homes Your vacation home may be your own personal retreat, but because it's unoccupied much of the year; it can be a challenge to insure. Installing a burglar or fire alarms will help you decrease your risks and may give you a little leverage in your insurance. 4. Homes with a trampoline or
