Accident Surcharge Appeal

Have you been found “at-fault” in an auto accident?
If you believe you are not more than 50% at-fault in the accident, then you should appeal the surcharge …

MA At-fault Accident

Have you been found “at-fault” in an auto accident?

Have you received the surcharge notice? If so, this means your insurance company determined you are more than 50% at-fault.

If you believe you are not more than 50% at-fault in the accident, then you should appeal the surcharge.

When determining fault in an accident, unlike the insurance companies, the Board of Appeals takes into consideration contributing factors; such as: road condition (icy, wet, snow-covered), visibility, other vehicle erratic driving, etc.

Once you have received your hearing date you can: appear in person, submit a written statement, or select someone to appear on your behalf.

Appeal hearings are scheduled in: Boston, Brockton, Peabody, Plymouth, Somerville, Springfield, Waltham, or Worcester.

If you decide to appeal your surcharge, give us a call for some suggestions. Good Luck! We are here to support you.

Massachusetts: Kids & Cars

“I might not be driving yet …”
If the vehicle is your child’s car, we recommend parents, in order to best protect assets, consider registering and insuring the vehicle in their child’s name …

Kids & Cars ...

Johnson & Rohan Insurance recommends parents, in order to best protect assets, consider registering and insuring a vehicle in their child’s name.  In Massachusetts parents are provided 100% insulation from lawsuits arising from bodily injury or property damage claims.

Mass. MGL Chapter 231, section 85A: “If a car is registered to the child and the child gets into an accident causing personal injury and/or property damage, there is no reponsibility on the parent. It does not make any difference who bought the car or who pays for the insurance, or how old the child is so long as we are talking about negligence.”

On this basis it might make sense for parents to consider insuring a vehicle in their child’s name.

Summer Grill Safety

It is important to carefully check your grill before you use it each summer …

There are reports of over 500 fires and over 30 injuries per year as a result of gas grill fires and explosions.

Many of these fires occur when people use a grill that has been left idle for a period of time or when they have just refilled and reattached the grill’s gas container.

It is important to carefully check your grill before you use it each summer.

Check grill hoses for cracks, holes, and leaks; ensure that the tubes that lead into the burner are free of any debris that could block the flow of gas; and replace scratched or nicked connectors, which can allow gas to leak.

Life Insurance Reminder

If you have a term life insurance policy already in effect, you may want to re-apply.

Term life insurance rates are extremely low right now.

If you can get in a more preferred category, extend your policy term, and pay less money, then it may be worth the effort (application & medical exam etc.) to re-apply.
