Oregon Cheap Car Insurances
I just want to share this to those who will be getting new auto insurance. If you purchase a $35,000 car and can barely afford the minimum insurance, you are asking for trouble!!! Never purchase a car out of your “real” price range. If you think you could only afford liability insurance, then purchase a cheap vehicle and try to get a catastrophic medical insurance. Both are inexpensive. Consider getting higher deductible as well. Watch this video I found. This guys is giving useful information about car insurance deductible.

Life Insurance No Physical Exam Oregon
Reader’s Question:
I’ve been rejected a number of times for life insurance because of my age and medical history. Is there a life insurance no physical exam?
Helen
Salem OR
Medical examination is a requirement in all insurance policies, which makes it hard for some people with medical problems to get life insurance policies. If ever they get approved, it would usually cost them arm-and-leg. But do not despair, Helen. Some life insurance companies offer insurance products to accommodate those people who have medical issues or risk factors that their chance of being approved for life insurance is impossible.
Life insurance companies in Oregon will usually deny insurance to aged people who are inflicted with chronic diseases, especially those in advanced stage, such as: hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, multiple sclerosis, and others. Cancer can also be a factor to invalidate you from getting a life insurance policy. People with mental health and neurological disease can also have a hard time getting a life insurance. People who have danger-prone occupations or who are into hazardous activities and hobbies can also have difficulty in getting life insurance coverage.
Some insurance companies in Oregon created the life insurance no physical exam to answer the needs of those people always rejected by insurers for a life policy. Life insurance no physical exam type of policy that does not need any background and medical check up is usually termed as ‘guaranteed issue life insurance’ or ‘guaranteed approval life insurance.’ As its name suggests, one can get a 100% approval whatever is the person’s past and present medical situation or occupation. This life insurance policy is specifically designed for people who are considered high-risk that other insurers would automatically turn them down.
Since guaranteed issue life insurance does not require any underwriting measures, it will definitely cost higher than the usual standard life insurance. In lieu of the medical exams and legibility assessments, insurance companies would charge higher for guaranteed approval life insurance. So it is advise that before you go get a life insurance no physical exam, apply first to typical standard insurance which requires medical exams and underwriting processes.
If you’ve been rejected multiple times by insurance companies, it does not mean that you should deprive yourself the protection and security you’d get from a life insurance. You can already get a guaranteed approval life insurance as an alternative.
Life Insurance Benefits
Reader’s Question:
I always thought that life insurance is just a waste of money so I won’t bother buying it. But a friend of mine here in Oregon is urging me to purchase my own life insurance plan. What good would it do to me and how can my family benefit from it?
Carlo
Portland, OR
Life insurance is often ignored since the law does not require it and a lot of people don’t want to think about their own death. People also overlook the life insurance benefits since they dread the idea about putting a price on their own life.
But surely, if people would look closely, they would understand the life insurance benefits and what it can do for their loved ones when they pass away. Life insurance can provide you with an instant fortune for your family as they will be financially protected when you pass away. If you have a business, your own legacy will also be secured or you can use your life insurance as part of property planning.
It is suggested that you get at least 10 times of your annual salary as the face value of your life insurance policy. This may seem too much, but reflect on what might happen after your death. When the funeral expenses are paid, your loved ones would most likely need to substitute your income to survive. In case they can’t do that, they may struggle to pay for their basic needs and certainly, you don’t want this to happen. Because of that, you have to carefully plan your life insurance to leave your loved ones with something when you pass away.
SUV Insurance In Oregon
Readers Question:
I am about to get SUV insurance. However, I heard that insurance for SUV costs more. Is that correct? I live in Oregon if thats gonna help you.
Billy
Salem, OR
I usually get this question whenever a friend just bought a new SUV here in Oregon – is it really more expensive to insure an SUV as compared to regular vehicles?
Yes, you are correct. Getting SUV insurance is more expensive as compared to getting your usual vehicle insurance. From what Ive learned, in most cases, SUV owners pay about 10- to 20% more for insuring their SUV as opposed to insuring a regular vehicle.
You may be wondering why. We have this notion regarding bigger size vehicles – the bigger the size of the vehicle the safer is to drive. But the reason why SUV insurance is more expensive than insuring smaller vehicles is because SUVs expected damage when it collided with another vehicle is heavier. Hence, heavier damage means only one thing, higher vehicle insurance claims. And the possibility of higher vehicle insurance claims means more expensive vehicle insurance premiums for your vehicle insurance.
In addition, aside from the fact that SUV caused severe damage as compared to smaller vehicles, they too have become a popular choice among vehicle thieves. The higher the chance that your vehicle might be stolen, the higher your vehicle insurance premiums may be. In fact, according to Highway Loss Data Institute, the Cadillac Escalade, an SUV type of vehicle, is the most stolen vehicle in 2004. Vehicle insurance providers will shell out a whooping $18, 000 minimum just to replace that kind of vehicle.
Getting insurance for your SUV can be pricey. However, remember that you have a lot of choices to get cheaper vehicle insurance for your SUV. You can start looking for car insurance rates through the Internet. The key in getting the best deal is to know where to get one and Internet offers you that. As long as you get several vehicle insurance quotes and you carefully compare those vehicle insurance quotes, then you can get the insurance for your SUV the way you want it.
Also, its best to keep your driving record free of any violations and offenses. Having a driving record like that will make you a safe driver is essential in getting lower vehicle insurance rates for your SUV. As much as possible, vehicle insurance companies would want to insure safe drivers and would even offer you cheap vehicle insurance rates if you are believed to be a safe driver.
You can also ask more on how you can save on your SUV insurance through your vehicle insurance agent in Oregon.
Good Student Car Insurance In Oregon
Reader’s Question:
I am a student here in Oregon. I heard that for being a student I may qualify for a discount for good student car insurance in Oregon. Can you tell me about this?
Mike
Northwest Clackamas, OR
There are several factors that car insurance companies take into consideration when setting your car insurance rates. One factor is age.
In most cases, younger drivers particularly those who are teens or those who are still going to school (or students to be exact), pay higher car insurance premiums as compared to other older drivers. The reason seems to be logical, since young drivers do not have the sufficient driving experience yet hence they are often involved in vehicular accidents. And also, it’s been proven by studies that younger drivers are more involved in car accidents as opposed to older drivers.
As to your question about discount for good student car insurance in Oregon, there are several auto companies that offer this if you are able to meet certain requirements. In general these requirements are:

Life Insurance Benefits Conditions Oregon OR
Reader’s Question:
A friend of mine has a father who recently passed away due to OD, and they are thinking it might be suicide, would her father’s life insurance provider in Oregon grant her death benefits if it’s proven that her father did commit suicide?
Norman
Portland, OR
Interestingly enough, this would depend on who their life insurance provider in Oregon is, as well as the specific clauses and stipulations that are written on their life insurance agreement. Some life insurance providers null policies if the insured is proven to have committed suicide, therefore exempting them from any obligation to pay death proceeds to the beneficiaries. There are providers that may be flexible enough to grant death benefits but only if the insured takes his life away after being under the life insurance coverage for over two years or more, this is known as the policy’s contestability period. Within this period, most states will allow the life insurance provider legal rights to contest the death of the insured and may even require further investigation of the matte before agreeing to pay death benefits.
Additionally, some states would have their life insurance companies place a one year suicide clause to further protect the business from misrepresentations and fraud. If it is proven that your friend’s father did commit suicide with or without the intention of wanting his beneficiaries to get life insurance money, it may be possible for your friend to argue their side with an effective enough attorney, and be granted death benefits. The best way to really know for sure would be to have your friend consult their father’s life insurance contract to know their providers policies regarding this matter.

Life Insurance Claims Oregon OR
Reader’s Question:
What are the instances when life insurance companies here in Oregon don’t pay out claims?
Stanley
Portland, OR
Stanley, I don’t think that a lot of life insurance companies don’t pay out their claimants. But, of course, for sure, there have been instances when a number of claims may have been declined, or at least only the amount of premiums paid was returned. I have, however, enumerated some of the reasons why claims are received late or not at all.
Any business that deals with hefty amounts of money would make sure that everything is in proper order. Let’s say a claimant presented herself to a life insurance office in Oregon, for example, and said that her husband died, and she is claiming her check. Assuming that what she was claiming was true, the company would still want to see a copy of a death certificate. Usually, the death certificate states the cause of death. If cause of death is due to suicide, the company has the right not to pay out claims right away. In some cases, the life insurers, even though they have a suicide clause, still pay out according to what is stipulated in the contract, but only when the plan reached its maturity value.
Also, there are instances when foul play is involved, and a full investigation has to be launched first and confirm that it is not the beneficiary/beneficiaries who committed the crime to have access to the money.
Then there are times when the claimants presenting themselves cannot validate their identity. The life insurer deposits the whole death benefit amount and just let the court decide who gets the money.

Variable Life Insurance Oregon OR
Reader’s Question:
I’m interested to know more about variable life insurance and what it has to offer. This is Goldie from Oregon.
Goldie
Portland, OR
Goldie, one feature of variable life insurance is that the money gained by your variable life policy is tax deferrable. Because of this tax-deferrable feature, you can avoid paying estate taxes there in Oregon. Mostly, this type of insurance is purchased for the benefit of the heirs, so that later on they can borrow or withdraw the cash value that has been built up.
Like in an a traditional whole life insurance plan, borrowing from your policy, of course, will have the same effect– the more cash value was withdrawn, the less death benefits you’ll get. Please take note, however, that the life insurance companies who issue variable life insurance limit the number of transactions to twelve in a year (approximately once a month) as they don’t charge transaction fees and taxes.
Another good thing about variable insurance plan is that it is very flexible for policy holder, as he or she can decide where and how much to invest. Although there are risks, you still have control where to invest the cash value you built up. You can always be prudent and invest only in blue chip stocks.
This type of life insurance will also benefit people who are not insurable because “survivorship” clauses are required by most issuing companies. Two people are jointly insured, and that benefits can be claimed only when both the insured parties die.

Universal Life Insurance Oregon OR
Reader’s Question:
My local agent here in Oregon said that I should buy a Universal Life Insurance instead of a Whole Life Insurance, but I’m only familiar with the latter. What is Universal Life Insurance?
Breanna
Portland, OR
Looking for information on the kind of insurance that you will be getting shows that you care about the amount of protection you receive. Here are some quick facts about universal life insurance coverage that was suggested to you.
In the 1980s, it was brought to the market as an alternative to Whole Life Insurance. Although they both have a cash savings feature that accumulates over the years, Universal Life Insurance allows you to transfer money between the insurance policy itself and the cash savings feature. A part of the premium that you will be paying is going to be invested by your insurance provider in bonds, mutual funds and stocks. The money that you earn will be given back to your account and accumulated on a tax-deferred basis. There is a risk that goes with it, but there is also potential reward because since there is a guaranteed minimum interest rate that is applied to your investment, there will also be a guaranteed return on your investment.
It is also modifiable because you have options in the terms on how you or your family will receive the death benefit. You can choose to get the cash value taken out of your cash savings, or the insurance provider pays the amount indicated in your policy plus the cash savings that you have gathered.
Alo, there are different types of Universal Life Insurances, so you should check with your agent in Oregon to see which kind you should buy. Good luck
