Do you know what the most common reason is that homeowners file a claim against their homeowner's insurance? Most people think it's because of fire. Actually it's exactly the opposite. It's because of water damage. If your home is more than ten years old your insurance premiums may very well begin to reflect the increased potential for a water pipe to burst or for a hose leading to the dishwasher or the ice maker in your refrigerator to rupture and to flood your home while you're out for the day or sleeping at night. Ask your agent what upgrades you would need to make (and if you could do some or all of them yourself) in order to get a reduction in your monthly premiums.

State governments have set up various systems for covering high-risk drivers uninsurable in the voluntary insurance market, passing on the costs of such systems to insurance companies. A very common state-created mechanism is the assigned-risk pool... known as a residual-insurance pool, where auto insurers are assigned a number of otherwise uninsurable drivers in proportion to the insurance companies' presence in the state insurance market. Other publicly sustained insurance systems include joint underwriting associations and reinsurance facilities, among others. Considered the automobile insurance option of last resort, premiums for these state-created insurance programs tend to be markedly higher than for privately procured insurance.

Insurance companies don�t like motoring convictions as they mean a driver is seen as a higher risk. Certain motoring convictions are considered worse than others, for example drink driving offences mean that your premium will be double the usual rate.
