 | Information pertinent to the auto insurance claims process. The loss or destruction of a car or vehicle is a true problem, but yet another one is to star the process by which you are entitled to receive the insurance money. However, there are no good news in this regard: the increase in frequency and magnitude of natural disasters such as the tsunami that wiped out the coasts of south east Asia in 2004, the floods produced by hurricane Katrina in the south east United States in 2005, and the floods and massive forest fires that affected Europe just a few days before are a testament to what may be coming. Insurance costs will certainly become higher, and claiming will become more difficult than ever because insurance companies will face higher risks and financial losses; thus, it is only natural to think that they will begin to put yet more hurdles for claimants and make the whole thing more restrictive and difficult. Indeed, this has to do with the greenhouse effect. Global warming and climate change that will cause further and more vicious meteorological phenomena, and if you are still thinking that there is no connection between our excessive and badly-planned industrial activity and these disasters, let us ask you: given what we saw in places like New Orleans, would you bet your life and property on that assumption? We can deduce that given all these disasters, and the fact that insurance companies act generally conservatively in the face of potential danger, whether you believe or not in the effects of industrial activity on our global environment, insurers do assume that there is a connection, and will increase the fees for each policy accordingly an at the same time, make the claiming process more difficult, arcane, long and complicated in order to minimise the number of claims that may eventually lead to the demise of more than just one company in the face of such huge catastrophes. |
