To buy car insurance online may sound a simple affair but may end up being tricky if you do not know the right way to go about it. Insurance companies have very complex clauses and rules when it comes to claims. Most people do not try to understand each and every clause intricately. This leaves holes in their understanding of their own policy and the insurance companies take advantage of this to make escape clauses that could save them the cost of paying out claims. You can always approach an insurance broker if you are unable to understand the clauses of your policy yourself. Read more…

The latest report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) claims that lax federal regulations are allowing for grisly accidents between big rigs and smaller cars.
IIHS researchers analyzed sets of crash documents and conducted a series of tests in which smaller cars rear-ended tractor trailers, and they found deadly results.
In the tests, rear guards that big rigs are required to be equipped with in order to prevent smaller vehicles from sliding under them completely failed.

Bills have been introduced to the Oklahoma, Minnesota and Montana state legislatures with the intention of reducing the types–and consequently the amounts–of compensation that uninsured motorists can receive as a result of being involved in serious auto accidents.
All pieces of legislation have received favorable votes from their respective insurance committees, and the Montana Senate has already passed its bill, though narrowly.
As the law currently stands in these and the majority of other states, motorists who flout compulsory auto insurance laws and get into an accident while driving uninsured are able to sue the at-fault drivers for any type of applicable damages. But
