After 25 years on the same road…
I wonder if maintenance would
be more cost effective with a paved surface ?
Oh, it looks remote but there
are approx 18 residences up and down this road.
Most of the owners are
elderly.
There is ONLY ONE WAY OUT.
We could not get out for 3
days after this rain storm. Good thing there were
no medical emergencies.
hummmmm…. oh, Perdido Vista,
right around the corner, was paved and there were NO
homes on either side of that new pavement… go
figure… time for change ? You bet !
Let us give your small
business or organization an internet presence today !
ALDOI orders insurers
to cease basing coverage on whether consumer has others
policies with companyLicensed
property and casualty insurers that non-renewed policies on the
condition of having other policies with the company must re-offer
coverage to the consumers affected, according to a bulletin issued by
the Alabama Insurance Commissioner Walter A. Bell.Also,
insurers are directed to stop offering coverage on a single line such as
property on the condition that they consumer also purchase another
policy, such as a life or automobile policy.“These
activities, we strongly believe, are prohibited by the Alabama Trade
Practices Law,” Commissioner Bell said. “The law specifically says that
inducements not specified in the policy are prohibited.”The
practice was used by some insurers in 2007 to drop property insurance
policies in Mobile and Baldwin
counties in order to reduce hurricane exposure. This was accomplished by
choosing a fixed date in the past as to determine whether a customer was
a single-line customer or a multi-line customer. At least one company
used this measure to decide which policyholders would be non-renewed.
Under this method, single-line customers were non-renewed.“By
this action we are taking, we are telling every insurer that has
non-renewed a policy using this method to rescind the non-renewal and
offer the consumer coverage again,” Commissioner Bell said.
“Furthermore, we are directing insurers to cease the
marketing practice of making one line of insurance – that is difficult
to obtain – available only on the condition of the purchase of another
line.”
Insurers have been directed to cease the practices
immediately and inform the Alabama Department of Insurance with in 10
days whether it has been engaged in such practices.
