Report: Liberty Mutual Failed in Bid to Buy Harleysville

It turns out there was another player in last year’s merger deal between Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. and Harleysville Mutual Insurance Co.

According to a news report, Liberty Mutual also made an offer last September to buy Harleysville but was rejected in favor of Nationwide.

Bloomberg reported last week that Liberty Mutual had offered $42 a share for stockholders of Harleysville Group, which was lower than Nationwide’s offer of $60-per-share. Still, the Liberty Mutual offer had something that Nationwide didn’t: an incentive to policyholders in the form of a $250 million payout.

These details were included in Harleysville’s Securities and Exchange Commission filing last month. The rival bidder referred to as “Company B” in filings is Liberty Mutual, the report said.

Liberty Mutual declined to comment for this article. Harleysville did not immediately respond to requests for an interview.

The disclosure could add more fuel to the criticism that Harleysville executives and directors stand to gain financially from the Nationwide deal while Harleysville policyholders are left out in the cold.

Liberty Mutual Criticizes Deal

Liberty Mutual has been critical of the Nationwide/Harleysville merger. The insurer has been asking regulators to scrutinize the deal. Liberty Mutual wrote to regulators that the Nationwide deal may enrich Harleysville executives, who own shares in the publicly traded subsidiary Harleysville Group, at the expense of the policyholders who own the parent mutual company.

“We have significant concerns that the proposed merger of Harleysville Mutual with and into Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, which was announced on Sept. 29, 2011, may be disadvantageous to the policyholders and members of Harleysville Mutual,” Liberty Mutual wrote in its comment letter to Pennsylvania regulators in October.

“Despite the very significant premium being offered to the public shareholders of Harleysville Group (as well as the officers and directors of Harleysville who own such shares and/or hold stock options in such shares), the merger agreement does not provide for any consideration being paid to the members of Harleysville Mutual in connection with the proposed merger beyond the fact that they will become members of Nationwide.”

“While we acknowledge that it is not unusual for no such consideration to be paid to members in connection with a traditional merger of two mutual insurance companies, the proposed merger differs significantly from such traditional transactions because Harleysville Mutual owns approximately 54 percent of the shares of Harleysville Group, which is currently a publicly traded company and which will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide as a result of the subsidiary merger,” Liberty Mutual said in the letter.

Schiff: Harleysville Execs Put Their Interest First

So far, several lawsuits have been filed by some Harleysville policyholders in an attempt to block the merger.

“Harleysville is a mutual insurance company with a publicly traded stock subsidiary. And the directors and officers of the mutual are basically the same people who run the stock company,” David Schiff, editor of Schiff’s Insurance Observer, told Insurance Journal. Schiff is an advocate for mutual policyholders.

Harleysville has two sets of board of directors, one for the parent Harleysville Mutual and another for Harleysville Group. But there is a significant overlap. Of Harleysville Mutual’s nine directors, six also sit on the Harleysville Group board. Of Harleysville Group’s eight directors, six are also directors for Harleysville Mutual.

“Directors all own stock in the stock company, so their own financial interest is to do what will make money for the stock company. Even if they do a lousy deal for the mutual but if it’s a better deal for the stock company, they make money for themselves by doing that. It’s a troubling structure,” Schiff said.

“I don’t doubt for a second that if the Harleysville mutual board was a truly independent board of directors, they would never do this deal. They are not independent. They are all conflicted.”

The Harleysville parent company and the subsidiary share the same group of executives. And many executives own stock in Harleysville Group.

Michael Browne, CEO and president of Harleysville Mutual and CEO of Harleysville Group, has stock and options that would be worth almost $28 million with Nationwide’s $60-per-share deal, according to Harleysville’s SEC filings. Those same shares would be worth less under Liberty Mutual’s $42-per-share proposal.

“The best deal for the policyholders wouldn’t have been the best deal for the officers and directors whose interest was getting a lot of money for shareholders because they are also the shareholders in the group. And that’s what they have done — they placed their interest and the shareholders’ interest, in my opinion, far ahead of the policyholders’ interest,” Schiff said.

Harleysville Says It’s ‘Balancing Interests’

However, Harleysville has been speaking out to defend its merger agreement with Nationwide. Harleysville said in its filings with Pennsylvania regulators that the merger for which it is seeking the approval of the Pennsylvania insurance department is “a fair and compelling transaction that benefits all of the stakeholders of the Harleysville Mutual and satisfies standards set forth in (Pennsylvania statutes).”

Harleysville said it disputes “virtually all of the contentions” made by Liberty Mutual.

“The principal reason that a business or individual becomes a policyholder of a mutual insurance company is to protect their assets consistent with their economic means,” according to the Harleysville filing last November.

“By virtue of the Harleysville Mutual merger, the Harleysville Mutual policyholders will become policyholders in Nationwide, an insurance company with an approximate $13 billion in group surplus, an A.M. Best rating of A+ and a significantly larger and more diverse product portfolio, all of which will serve to significantly increase the protection afforded to the insured assets of Harleysville Mutual policyholder and thereby enhance the most fundamental benefit derived from mutual insurance company membership.”

The Bloomberg report last week also quoted a senior Harleysville executive who refuted charges that Harleysville executives personally stood to gain more from the Nationwide deal. The rival bid had incentives for Harleysville executives that would have made its offer comparable to what Harleysville executives would get from Nationwide, General Counsel Robert Kauffman was quoted as saying.

The real concern was that the rival bidder had plans to lay off workers and close offices at Harleysville, according to the executive.

Prevention is better then cure!

During these cold winter months, when there are often spells of  deteriorating weather, it is more important than ever to maintain your home, inside and out.

According to M&S Money in the UK, weather-related claims have increased by 200% over the last three years.


The statistics

• Seven out of ten people know they have a responsibility to keep their home in good conditionLess than a third of people carry out simple preventative measures
• There were almost 30,000 claims due to damage to homes and businesses from burst pipes from last December’s freeze. The total cost of household claims was €173.1 million, while commercial claims amounted to €50.6 million.
• €224 million was paid out on flood damage claims last year
• The Irish Insurance Federation last November 8514 claims so far
• Household insurance claims will cost the industry €77 million (4,629 house claims)
• Commercial property claims will cost €159 million (1,541 commercial property claims)
• Scientists predict that climate change may lead to more frequent flooding in the future.
• Basic maintenance you can do to help prevent damage to your home (from flooding.ie):

To improve the flood proofing of your walls, you can use products such as liquid membranes, polymer/cement coatings, mastic asphalt or pre formed sheet membranes.

To improve the flood resistance of your windows and doors, check  that the seal around the frames is intact and doesn’t have any cracks. Treat any wooden frames with oil based waterproof stains, paint or varnish.

You can use a range of temporary defences to protect your house in the event of a flood, such as sandbags, floorboards and wrapping.

If you are carrying out any extension or building work on your house, consider having a waterproof membrane built into the foundations. Also consider closed cell cavity insulation at ground floor level and a raised damp proof course. The electrical sockets should be placed above the height of floodwater from previous years and any air conditioning, heating or gas units should be situated on the first floor or in the attic.

Make sure that any streams, rivers or lakes on your property are able to flow. Check for blockages in the stream and ensure that the banks have not eroded.

Always ensure you have a stock of materials on hand which are useful during a flood, such as plywood, plastic sheeting, sandbags (unfilled), sand, nails, a hammer, shovel, bricks, blocks of wood and a saw.

Stay vigilant and regularly inspect your property for cracks or gaps in the brickwork and floors or around windows, doors and pipes.

If you live in a flood risk area it is always a good idea to store any sentimental personal items upstairs or above the highest possible flood level as these are impossible to replace. The same is true of bank and insurance details, as well as essential contact numbers.

Valuable items, such as computers or televisions, should also be stored above ground level. For example, keep your computer on the table or desk rather than under it.

Get your pipes covered with insulation and check and clean your drain pipes regularly

Cheap Auto Insurance – Is It a Good Idea?

With so many expenses every month, it is no wonder that people cut costs where it does not seem relevant. Unfortunately, many people learn the hard way that they should have had insurance or a better form of insurance. This applies to all kinds of insurance from fire insurance to car insurance!

You should never go without insurance if you own a vehicle. If you do not have it, you are at major risk of experiencing devastating financial losses should you ever get into a car accident. Cheap auto insurance may seem like the best idea, but is it really a good idea?

My response is that it all depends on what you consider inexpensive, and what exactly you are looking for in your policy. It is important to know that there are some huge differences in the cost of insurance sold by various companies, and also in what the policies they are selling contain. Just because a policy is expensive, does not necessarily mean that it is the best one. This would be the same for the cheapest insurance.

In order to get cheap auto insurance, there are things you can do. Not all options are appropriate for everyone, but you need to choose what is best for you. For example, you can lower your insurance by getting a higher deductible, or by wisely choosing a vehicle that is less expensive to insure.

Before renewing your insurance this year, be sure to compare car insurance companies and their policies. You may be able to find things that you need to have insured, while other things are not needed.

This is why it is vital to note the kind of coverage you need. Although most States allow you to have minimal coverage, it may not be enough for where you live and the degree of risk you face when driving. You need to definitely look into liability insurance, in case you ever get sued for damage you cause.

Other options in insurance policies that you need to be aware of include comprehensive coverage, collision coverage, uninsured and underinsured, medical expenses and so on. Make sure that you ask the insurance company about the different forms of coverage so that you can determine what you need.

Another way to keep the costs down, is to ask for online quotes. Instead of immediately renewing the insurance you already have, be sure to get some quotes online. By doing this, you can compare the policies and what they contain and do not contain.

In conclusion, there are ways to get cheaper auto insurance. How inexpensive you want to go will be up to you and the level of coverage you choose. Just be sure to know what kind of coverage your policy contains so that you know exactly what you are getting should you ever need to make a claim.

Online Insurance Quotes Lets You Quickly Compare Rates

The wide spread use of the Internet has brought a new age of transparency to the insurance business. Using the Internet you can quickly compare rates for just about any kind of insurance, be it home, life, or auto insurance, as well as research the financial strength and reputation of the insurance company.

The big advantage offered by the Internet is that you can get free insurance quotes online and compare rates in a fraction of the time previously required. It is just so much easier to get a good deal now for any type of insurance than even ten years ago.

For example, term policies can be deceptive because they may say that they are renewable to age 95. However, the premium will increase astronomically after the initial time period, making it impossible for a person to keep it. Term insurance tends to be heavily shopped and as a result many companies price it competitively. The services offered over the Internet allow you to compare insurance rates and features with just a little research effort.

Term insurance coverage tends to be the least expensive and works well for such things as mortgage protection or protection for those with family and dependents. Term life insurance policies can be purchased for 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 year terms, depending on the needs of the purchaser and the beneficiaries. Many people purchase this type of life insurance to protect their family while children are growing up or before they have reached retirement.

How Exclusive Are Exclusive Insurance Leads Bought From Lead Vendors

If you are an insurance agent or operating an insurance agency in the United States, the probability of you buying insurance leads generated online is almost 100%. With the mass adoption of Internet as a medium to research and source products and services by the consumers, Insurance Agents leverage internet as a major source of their leads.

Most insurance agents will be buying internet generated insurance leads from third parties (aka insurance lead vendors) rather than generating their own internet leads. Acquiring your own customers on the Internet is tricky, costly and time taking. (Refer the post on ‘Generating Your Own Insurance Leads on the Internet’ for more information on self generated leads approach.)

Buying Exclusive vs Shared Insurance Leads

When insurance leads are bought, generally the leads are sold to two to four agents. This lead is known as a Shared Lead, since the lead is sold to multiple agents. This method also gives a choice for the consumers to compare and contrast the services offered by various insurance companies / agents.

The lead generation companies (aka lead vendors or service providers) avoid providing a specific lead to multiple agents dealing with a specific insurance company. For example, if a consumer (say, John) is requesting a quote for vehicle insurance, the lead vendor will send John’s contact and insurance requirement related information to 2 to 4 agents, each dealing with a different insurance company. If agent 1 is providing State Farm service, other agents will be providing other insurance carriers. This helps agents affiliated with the same insurance carrier need not fight their turf.

However, when independent insurance agents (handling multiple insurance carriers – not associated with any specific insurance company) buy leads, enforcement of this distribution rule is not always possible.

In order to avoid competition and increase the chances of conversion, agents may opt to  buy Exclusive Leads, in which case the leads will be sold to only one agent.

Advantages of Buying Exclusive Insurance Leads

As an agent, buying exclusive lead gives a major advantage due to the fact that there is no competition. Even if you are delayed for a few minutes in contacting the prospective customer, the customer will not be sold by another agent.

On the other hand, the customer does not have any choice in this case. Hence buyers of exclusive leads must exercise diligence and follow up with the lead and provide the best possible services at reasonable price.

It is also important to keep in mind that the price of an Exclusive Insurance Lead is significantly costlier than the shared lead. If you don’t follow up promptly and convert the exclusive leads quickly, you will be losing money like crazy!

Exclusive Lead is Not Always Exclusive!

Even if you have paid a high price to buy an internet generated Exclusive Lead from an insurance lead vendor, there is no guaranty that the lead is exclusive! What the heck?

If you understand how the internet works, probably you would not be so shocked. Many large lead vendors buy(?) leads from other small vendors and services providers; these companies are known as Affiliates or Publishers. These affiliates will have their own network of websites and collect insurance quote requests from consumers and sell these leads to the large lead vendors. While the large companies vet the affiliates and put in place lot of checks and balances, the affiliates can always sneak in and sell the leads to multiple vendors.

Another major issue is the small and / or specialty lead providers, who generate their own internet leads or buy leads from major vendors claiming that the leads are for their own business. They will in turn resell the leads to multiple agents. For example, if a major vendor has sold an insurance lead for 4 agents, one of the agent might resell it for 4 other agents! Eight agents would have got the same lead! Imagine the plight of the prospective customer, when 8 agents start calling them within minutes of receiving the lead information!

Another scenario where exclusive leads are not exclusive is when the lead is sold as an aged lead. Even if the lead is only 24 to 48 hours old, you can fairly label the same as a non-exclusive lead.

Beyond all the above cases, the consumer is very tech savvy in this social media world. They might submit their contact and request information to more than one web site. In such a case, a lead will be captured by more than one lead vendor and there is no way that they know the customer has submitted another request to  another vendor.

This discussion is not to discourage buying exclusive leads. On the other hand, be aware of all the scenarios and take these factors into account in your lead buying budget and business operations.

Retiring Soon? When Should You Purchase A Medicare Supplement?

If you’ve always had health insurance covered by your employer, you may not have ever put much thought into selecting a plan — simply going with the least expensive option, or the option with the lowest deductible. This “set it and forget it” method can sometimes backfire — when you’re beginning to contemplate retirement, looking into your various private insurance options and the Medicare program can seem overwhelming.

Fortunately, many companies now offer Medicare supplement plans that can help provide you with broad coverage with little hassle. Read on to learn more about the situations in which you might want to purchase a Medicare supplement:

What is a Medicare Part D supplement?

Although the Medicare program is federal, it is administered by the states, so policies may vary a bit in each area. However, there are four types of insurance coverage offered — Medicare Part A (hospital coverage, for hospital stays or skilled nursing care), Medicare Part B (medical coverage, like doctor visits and testing), Medicare Part C (Advantage Plans, offered by private insurance companies to complement Parts A and/or B coverage), and Medicare Part D (Medigap supplements).

The Part D or Medigap coverage is offered through private insurance companies, and is designed to help cover the gaps in Medicare Parts A and B plans. For example, these plans often don’t cover copays — so if you have frequent doctor visits, purchasing a Part D plan can dramatically reduce your total medical expenses.

When should you purchase a Part D supplement?

In order to receive coverage under a Part D supplement, you must be covered by both Medicare Parts A and B. If you’re covered under a Part C plan, your coverage won’t kick in until you’ve left the Part C plan and enrolled in Parts A and B. You’ll also need separate policies for all adults covered under Parts A and B — you and your spouse or partner can’t share this gap coverage.

In general, purchasing a Part D supplement is a good idea if you or your spouse regularly travel outside the country, where your Parts A and B coverage aren’t in effect, or if you visit the doctor regularly enough that the co-pays or total deductible begins to become a financial strain. Your insurance provider should be able to help you calculate whether a Part D plan would make sense based on your past (and upcoming) medical spending.

What If Auto Insurance coverage Had been – Insurance coverage Well being

It is really a wonderful day. You are tooling down a street and pick up a nail in your tire. A couple miles later on your tire is managing reduced so you prevent at the local garage and have it plugged for ten bucks. They counsel you get new tires in advance of upcoming winter season.

It is really been three months considering that your past oil alter. Due to the fact it is really a nice day you pull into Lube Stop and devote $50 on an oil alter.

In reality the day is so nice, you fill up your tank and just take a extended experience in the place.

On the way back you recognize your brake pedal is reduced, so approach to have the brakes relined in the around potential in advance of the rotors are damaged, an additional $seventy five.

What is actually missing from this equation? You did not think about asking your motor vehicle insurance to address the expenditure.

Now what if motor vehicle  insurance  were like  health   insurance ?

Envision new legislation necessitating every single gasoline station to submit an insurance assert every single time you fill up at the pump. But superior information – you are no more time expected to pay back up front. Tires, gasoline, and oil modifications are now protected below your motor vehicle insurance.

Less than the new restrictions the gasoline station has to wait thirty to sixty days to get payment. Of study course, the business clerk who submits the assert wants her paycheck weekly. The particular person who critiques the assert does as nicely. The insurance business has expenses for postage, utilities, and lease, not to point out they hope to make a profit. Some claims would be denied or dropped, so the gasoline station would naturally demand anyone a tiny additional to address losses.

Do you believe the rate of gasoline would be larger or decrease? Would it basically charge much more or a lot less to present the same assistance?

All of a sudden your $800 for gasoline and upkeep has blossomed to twice that – or much more.

The station operator is angry due to the fact he has to retain the services of much more enable, wait to get paid out, and offer with unneeded aggravation.

At minimum to start out with you (the shopper) are delighted – until you get your insurance bill, which has enhanced by $1600 to address the new services.

But by the time you get the bill you’ve got become accustomed to cost-free gasoline. Hmm, possibly if you just travel much more you can expect to make up for the raise in premiums. You are going to get new tires much more frequently, as frequently as your insurance lets. And of study course, you can expect to want the best – no off-models will do.

This scenario is accurately what is actually occurred with  health   insurance . And as a result premiums spiral larger and larger. Does any of this make sense to you?

It does not just take a genius to see that when all the things is “cost-free” the “have to have” is countless. Of study course, very little is cost-free, it only would seem so. You are nonetheless paying by means of a third celebration. And if you’ve got already paid out, you want the best – AND you do not want to pay back an additional dollar for it.

Of study course, your insurance will have their shareholders in head, and should crank out a profit, even if this goes in opposition to your best desire. Quickly only generic oil and knock-off tires will be protected, not to point out reduced-check gasoline. All this at twice the rate you made use of to pay back.

SUV Bumpers vs. Standard Bumpers - The Results are Damaging

Everywhere you drive these days you see more SUVs. People are buying these vehicles for their sleek style, ability to haul just about anything and the luxury of having an elevated perspective of the road - the last of which can potentially cost SUV drivers and other vehicle owners dearly, in the event of a rear-end collision.

Bumper standards for some and not for others

By federal standards, car bumpers are required to lie within a 16-to 20-inch range from the ground up. This regulation helps ensure that when two cars collide at a reduced speed, the bumpers will touch, helping to absorb the impact and prevent damage. However, there are no such requirements set for SUVs, which is why these vehicles often come with flimsier bumpers or possibly no bumpers at all - leaving all parties susceptible to costly repair bills.

Recently, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducted a study involving five pairs of vehicles with distinct differences in bumper heights. Each pair consisted of a car and a midsized SUV from the same manufacturer. The contenders included the Ford Taurus vs. the Explorer, the Chevrolet Malibu vs. the Trail Blazer, the Dodge Stratus vs. the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Nissan Altima vs. the Murano and the Volvo S40 vs. XC90.

During this test, the IIHS drove the car at 10 mph in to the back of the SUV and then drove the SUV in to the back of the car. The results were surprisingly costly, ranging from $1,250 to more than $6,000 in damages. Some of the SUV and car bumpers bypassed each other all together, creating tremendous damage to the vehicle, including leaks, broken radiators, smashed hoods and other damage that could potentially make the vehicle un-drivable. "In instances where there was an underride or override between the car and SUV bumpers, we saw damage much more expensive to repair than most people would associate with a 10 mph impact." stated an IIHS executive.

Almost a perfect match

Out of all the various models and manufacturers, Ford had the least repair costs. This was because the bumpers on the two Fords matched up better than any of the other manufacturer's bumpers. There was virtually no damage to either vehicle as a result of the Explorer-into-the-Taurus collision.

SUV vs. SUV

Mismatched bumpers are a problem even in accidents involving multiple SUVs, and the damage is just as costly. For instance, in an IIHS test involving two Toyota RAV4's, this smaller sized SUV did more damage upon impact than any of the car-into-SUV or SUV-into-car test crashes.

An IIHS executive noted that, "when the RAV4 struck the other SUV, it didn't engage the rear bumper because the RAV4 doesn't have a rear bumper. Instead, the striking SUV hit the spare tire mounted on the RAV4's tailgate. This spare tire was the 'antibumper', but it didn't absorb any energy and it didn't prevent any damage. In fact, it caused most of the damage to both vehicles. The spare tire damaged the hood and grille of the striking SUV and crushed the tailgate of the struck RAV4."

Auto Insurance Deductible

When purchasing an SUV, you will want to be especially aware of your auto insurance deductible. Depending on what your deductible is, you might end up paying the majority of the repair costs - which can potentially add up to a substantial amount of money!

Tackling Common Homeowner Questions About House Insurance And Fireworks

Even though as much as $675 million was spent on fireworks in 2014, fireworks still bring about certain risks as a homeowner. If you have homeowners insurance, you likely expect that if anything were to happen with fireworks, you would be covered. However, this may not always be the case. Here are a few of the most common questions homeowners have about fireworks and house insurance, and the answers you should know before you invest in a cache of holiday explosives for entertainment.

If your home or property is damaged by fireworks, will the damage be covered by insurance?

According to the National Fire protection Agency, as much as $32 million in property damage was caused by fireworks in 2011. Damage could be caused in your home if a fire gets started by a wind-blown spark or to your personal property. Fireworks could even be damaging to neighboring homes and properties. Whether or not your insurance policy will cover these damages depends on a few different factors.

The first factor is where you live. Even though many consumers buy fireworks and detonate them anyway, consumer fireworks are actually banned in some states, like Delaware and New York. If you live in a state that does not legally allow fireworks, it is not likely that damages will be covered by your insurance because you were not supposed to be using fireworks anyway.

The second factor to consider is the type of home insurance coverage you have. Causation factors are different with every policy, and therefore, your home may be protected from a fire caused by a wood stove, but not fireworks.

If someone is injured by fireworks at your home, will insurance pay the medical bills?

Homeowners insurance may not cover personal injuries of every kind on your property, especially if fireworks are involved, which are considered risky anyway. Therefore, it is best to talk to your State Farm agent about what would happen if someone did get injured. In some cases, the cause of the accident will not matter as much as the fact that someone got hurt while at your home.

If you are planning a major Fourth of July celebration in your backyard, make sure you know the consequences if something were to go wrong. It may be best to save the fireworks shows for the professionals instead of putting your home or visitors at risk.

How Much Will My Insurance Rate Increase After One Accident?

It's no accident that drivers often save money on their auto insurance bills if they haven't been in a fender-bender or any other roadway accident. On the other hand, if you have been in at least one vehicular accident, chances are you're going to pay more for car insurance when your policy comes up for renewal. Insurance industry experts such as Carolyn Gorman point out that this increase can "vary" for several reasons.

The amount is "going to vary from state to state and from one insurer to another, says Gorman, vice president of the Insurance Information Institute, which is based in New York. "But a lot depends on the nature and severity of your vehicular accident and who's found to be at fault. If you were driving drunk, you are going to be in deep trouble with the insurance company and the law. In that situation, you're likely to have your policy non-renewed. However, you can still get insurance, but it's going to cost you a lot more."

State Farm Insurance Co., for example, typically ratchets up your premium if an insured is found to be "at-fault" for a vehicular accident - meaning any accident in which the company pays more than $750 in property damage liability and collision claim payments, according to State Farm spokesman Bill Sirola. State Farm policyholders should expect to see the increase at renewal time on their liability, collision, and personal injury protection or medical payments coverages, Sirola confirms.

"If you've had a good record, and you've been with a particular company for more than five years, companies such as Allstate won't necessarily bump up your rates if you're found to be at-fault in a relatively minor vehicular accident," says Daniel Kummer, director of auto insurance for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, in Des Plaines, Ill.

Your rate rise depends on various factors such as state law and your insurance company rating plan," says Dave Snyder, American Insurance Association vice president and assistant general counsel.

Snyder says that "a minor accident may be forgiven under state law or by an insurance company. On the other hand, there could be severe insurance and legal consequences if there is a major accident with serious bodily injury and the at-fault driver is operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol. There could be a dramatic increase in insurance rates or even a cancellation of coverage, subject to state law. But beyond that, there could be heavy fines and even jail time involved."

Some companies such as State Farm have a forgive-the-first-accident policy, but qualifications vary from company to company. When purchasing auto insurance, be sure to ask if that particular insurer has a forgive-the-first-accident program and if so, how you might qualify.

By practicing and reviewing your city's or town's driving laws, your teen driver will have a better understanding of the laws and be able to apply the laws when it's their turn to drive solo.

Be a Good Role Model

If your teen driver sees you're speeding or driving aggressively, they're going to do the same. So if you're going to talk the talk, you better walk the walk! Not only will this help make your teen become a better driver, it will also help improve your driving skills as well.

Let Your Teen Do the Driving

Next time you're going to the store or to the movies, let your teen do the driving. This will not only give them the extra driving practice, it will also let you see how they're doing behind the wheel. As a passenger, you'll also get the opportunity to correct any bad teen driving habits your son or daughter may be developing.

According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), parents should pick a car that offers good crash protection and speed control such as a Subaru Legacy or a Volkswagen Passat. To help you find the safest car for your new driver, check out the III's Overall Crashworthiness Evaluations of Midsize Moderately Priced Cars.

Limit Nighttime Driving

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 42% of teen deaths from motor vehicle crashes occur on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. So restricting your child's nighttime driving may be one of the best things you could do to help keep your child safe and secure.

Restrict the Number of Passengers Allowed in the Car

According to Mother's Against Drunk Driving (MADD), teen driving crash rates increase by 50% with just one teen passenger in the car, and by 400% with three or more teen passengers. All the more reason to restrict the number of passengers allowed in the car while your teen is driving. While it may not seem fair to your new young driver, it could help keep them out of harms way.

Turn Off the Cell Phone

The best advice you could give your teen is to turn their cell phone off while driving. If they need to take a call while in the car, advice them to pull off to the side of the road, put the car in park and then talk.

Seat Belts

Safety is vital for all drivers! That is why it is important to remind teens to wear their seat belts while driving - a small tip that could greatly help save their life.
