<h4><em>Most Homeowners Insurance Policies Do Not Include Flood Insurance</em></h4>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>(Erie, Pa., 3/9/2010)</strong>- Floods are not always caused by nature’s wrath. Melting snow combined with frequent rain showers can quickly saturate the soil and produce flooding. Unfortunately, many homeowners are unaware that <a href="http://williams-agency.net/wp/home/">homeowner’s insurance </a>does not cover flood damage regardless of cause<em> </em>until it is too late.</p>
<p>“Many people incorrectly assume that regular homeowners insurance covers damage done by floods or rising waters. They don’t realize until it is too late that all basic homeowners insurance policies exclude flood,” says Dan Williams of Williams Agency.  “Only flood insurance will cover losses in the event of a flood.”</p>
<p>Flood insurance is available solely<em> </em>through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). There is a 30-day waiting period for the policy to go into effect, so it’s important to start the process before the spring storms arrive.    </p>
<p>Do not assume that federal disaster aid will protect you. Before most forms of federal disaster assistance are offered, the President must declare the area a major disaster. According to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.), less than 10% of all disasters are declared so by the President.  Flood insurance claims are paid even if the President does not declare an area a major disaster. </p>
<p>FEMA reports that nearly 25 percent of flood insurance claims come from properties considered at low or moderate risk of flooding.  Floods and flash floods occur in all 50 states and most people live or work in areas that have some risk of flooding, says I.I.I. Even if you do not live in a high-risk area, flood insurance is a good idea.</p>
<p>If you need to purchase flood insurance, contact your <a href="http://williams-agency.net/wp/home/">local Erie Insurance Agent </a>for details or contact the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Premium costs for residential properties will vary depending on coverage, which is available for building only, contents only or building and contents.</p>
<p><em>According to A.M. Best Company, Erie Insurance Group, based in Erie, Pennsylvania, is the 16th largest automobile insurer in the United States based on direct premiums written and the 18th largest property/casualty insurer in the United States based on total lines net premium written. The Group, rated A+ (Superior) by A.M. Best Company, has over four million policies in force and operates in 11 states and the District of Columbia.  To learn more, visit <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.erieinsurance.com/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.erieinsurance.com</span></a></span>.</em></p>

		<title>Pennsylvania Workers Compensation Insurance-How does it work?</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>    It is mandatory for any employer to provide compensation to his employees. The <a href="http://williams-agency.net/wp/business-insurance/">Pennsylvania Workers Compensation </a>Insurance helps in the coverage of the employees of any company. Self employed people are not eligible for compensation according to the Workers Compensation Act. If anyone has an accident and is hurt while working he or she is eligible for the compensation and benefits, but the PA work comp rates depend on the injury. There is no difference in the PA work comp rates even if the accident was your fault.</p>
<p>The Pennsylvania Workers Compensation Insurance covers most work-related accidents and injuries. However, self inflicted injuries like suicide are not compensated. Also accidents caused when breaking the law are not covered. If you get hurt when attacked by a co-worker due to personal reasons you are not eligible for applying for the workers compensation. If your claim is approved then you may avail the medical benefits, death benefits, scarring, partial disability benefits, specific loss of benefits and total disability benefits. Pennsylvania Workers Compensation Insurance helps you tide over the crisis when you are not in a position to go to work either temporarily or permanently after your injury.</p>
<p>The payments you receive for your lost wages are roughly two thirds of your maximum weekly wage. There can be a deduction in benefits if you receive other benefits like unemployment comp, social security, severance pay, pensions etc. The Pennsylvania Workers Compensation quotes that the employer is always to grant compensation in a case of any worker getting injured while on job.</p>
<p>Sometimes your compensation claim can be denied. In such a case you can take certain steps to fight your case. First and foremost thing you should hire an experienced attorney to help you in your case. The attorney will then take care of the paperwork and help you file the claim petition among other things. It should be noted that the judge will not hear your case if you do not have legal representation. An attorney is well-acquainted with the compensation system. If you receive any written threats regarding your claim of compensation, then your attorney can help you maintain your case in the court. You should see to it that the attorney you hire has the required jurisdiction.</p>
<p>Normally it takes more than one hearing for a workers compensation case. The judge will give a decision only when all the testimony and documents have been submitted. If you do not agree with the court’s decision you can appeal to a higher court. This appeal can go up to the Supreme Court.</p>
<p>Lastly, if you&#8217;re availing the <a href="http://williams-agency.net/wp/business-insurance/">workers compensation </a>for the last four months at least, you will be eligible for receiving some lump sum settlement. This option is certainly convenient but make sure that the settlement received by you is fair. In this case also an attorney will prove to be very useful. He will know the best sum of settlement and issue of handling the medical expenses after you have received your compensation.</p>
