Costly Car Insurance Mistakes That Must Be Avoided By Policyholders

“Making mistakes is human, but they should be avoided when negotiating for car insurance rates. Find out what mistakes should be avoided and how”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that presents the costliest car insurance mistakes a person can make and how to avoid them.

Car insurance represents an expensive investment. Any mistake has the potential of costing the insured several hundred dollars or more. Or leave the policyholder without adequate protection. Find out more and get free quotes at http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/costly-auto-insurance-mistakes/


  • Not preparing documents for negotiations. This is one major mistake that can be easily avoided. A simple call before the scheduled meeting will suffice. Drivers should prepare car documentation and handle it when asked. Furthermore, they should be prepared with info about driving history, graduated defensive/refresher courses, receipts for custom parts, VIN number and so on. Not having all the required documents will force the agent to re-schedule the meeting.

  • Not understanding some insurance terms or the policy itself. It is not wise to act like a “know-it-all”. Do not blindly agree to a contract without understanding it. Carefully read each page of the contract and ask for info where something is not fully understood.

  • Not getting car insurance quotes before the meeting. It is important to compare prices from multiple carriers and select a policy that will satisfy the coverage needs. Now it is easy and fast to get online quotes. It only takes several minutes. Furthermore, online quotes will help drivers mentally prepare for the meeting. They will also make the drivers aware of what sort of info is asked and what documents they should prepare.

Award-Winning Visual Studio Exposes Opioid Abuse Malpractice

Leave a comment


This opioid addiction animation was created to highlight where the brain feels and responds to addiction and pain.

High Impact built this opioid addiction animation to highlight where the brain feels and responds to addiction and pain.

“We are determined to help attorneys highlight the damage caused by this opioid malpractice epidemic, so they can instill audiences with the knowledge needed to deter negligent conduct,” said High Impact CEO Jordan Halperin.


DENVER (PRWEB)

High Impact, LLC, is working with attorneys across the country to shed light on the shady practices through which doctors overprescribe opioids to their patients – which most recently resulted in the death of a 40-year-old woman in a monumental case the visual litigation studio helped win.

“We are determined to help attorneys highlight the damage caused by this opioid malpractice epidemic, so they can instill audiences with the knowledge needed to deter negligent conduct,” said High Impact CEO Jordan Halperin.

The most common medical error involved in these opioid abuse cases is failing to recognize obvious signs of opioid addiction, and then continuing to overprescribe higher doses of medication instead of addressing the patient’s addiction. The impact of this decision can severely disrupt the patient’s brain and, if left unchecked, may ultimately result in the patient’s death.

One way to discourage opioid abuse malpractice is to expose how it’s happening, demonstrate how easily it can be avoided, and educate jurors on why they need to send a clear message that neglecting patients who suffer from opioid addiction won’t be tolerated and must be punished.

High Impact recently helped expose one of these types of opioid abuse malpractice cases after a doctor ignored a woman’s obvious signs of addiction and continued overprescribing higher doses and varieties of pain medication until she died. The Voirst Law Firm needed to show why the Doctor should have clearly recognized that his patient was suffering from opioid addiction. High Impact built a visual timeline to flag each of these risk factors as they stacked up and went ignored for months. The case was successfully negotiated for a significant amount, as reported in the Denver Post.

Other applications of High Impact’s work in opioid cases include showing the massive uptick in medications a patient had been prescribed over time, comparing the right decisions a doctor could have made versus the wrong decisions that ended in a horrible outcome, visually stacking up risk factors that contributed to disaster, and mapping out the neuropsychological impact opioids had on a patient’s brain. In addition to opioid-related cases, High Impact has and continues to provide attorneys with a wide range of custom visual solutions that are strategically used in trials to illustrate different facets of medical malpractice cases.

High Impact is the nation’s leading visual litigation studio, providing illustrations, animations, and interactive presentations for the top law firms across all 50 states. Their award-winning team of visual strategists, artists, doctors, and developers build and customize visual strategies for any case involving personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability, motor vehicle collisions, and environmental law – and have helped win some of the biggest, most high-profile verdicts and settlements in the country.

CHICAGO (PRWEB)

“Jeremy joins the High Wire Networks team with more than a decade of experience in computer networking and security,” said Joe Barnas, channel sales manager, security. “We’re thrilled to have him on our team to support our MSP partners with Overwatch sales and service delivery.”

Overwatch’s platform and cutting-edge approach to holistic security services fills that gap, positioning partners for growth as threats become more prevalent and demand for managed security services continues to accelerate.”

“In this environment, I couldn’t be more thrilled to join High Wire Networks,” he added. “The culture and professionalism, and management’s do-what-it-takes approach to enabling partners really appealed to me.

“This cutting-edge, high-productivity UV flatbed enables shops to respond effectively to increasing output demands and shorter turn-around times.”– Jay Roberts, Roland DGA Product Manager, UV Printers


IRVINE, Calif. (PRWEB)

Roland DGA Corporation, a leading provider of large-format inkjet printers, printer/cutters, and other advanced digital devices, has announced the launch of its new IU-1000F, a state-of-the-art UV-LED flatbed printer uniquely engineered for high-volume production.

With its 12 print heads in a staggered three-row arrangement and a four-inch carriage clearance, the IU-1000F is ideal for printing vibrant, detailed graphics directly onto PETG, PVC board, foam board, wood, corrugated board, aluminum plate, and more. The IU-1000F prints edge-to-edge on thin or thick boards and offers multiple speed and performance options, including a maximum speed of 1,248.6 square feet per hour in 4-color draft mode that allows users to meet the most demanding turn-around times. Printing speed for a typical 4’ x 8’ (1,220 x 2,440 mm) size rigid board averages about 35 boards per hour in “Draft” mode (1,248.6 sqft/hr.) or about 15 boards per hour in “Standard” print mode (516 sqft/hr.). Even in “Quality” mode (174 sqft/hr.) – which produces near-photographic quality results – the IU-1000F averages about 10 boards per hour.

A total of 1,280 nozzles per print head, along with banding and mottling prevention features, allow for high-resolution image results of up to 635 x 1,800 dpi. Exclusively developed, high-density GREENGUARD Gold certified UV inks in CMYK, Gloss and White cure instantly and deliver stunning graphic results. A Primer ink option allows for even greater adhesion, making it easy to prep and print on challenging materials like acrylic, glass and ceramic. Users can incorporate the Gloss and White specialty inks to enhance their prints with a host of eye-catching textural and dimensional effects.

The sturdy construction and unique capabilities of Roland’s IU-1000F make it perfect for customizing media boards with vivid, colorful graphics to create high volumes of signs and displays for trade shows, retail stores, hotels, museums, and other industries with large-format applications. In addition, the IU-1000F is ideal for direct-printing onto sheets of aluminum, metal and wood to create signs, décor, displays, and print-to-cut prototypes. The IU-1000F can also direct-print onto sheets of leather and fabric for high-volume banner, display and décor solutions, or to canvas for creating a variety of fine art products. Users can even print graphics onto tabletops, plywood, MDF and other boards to create brilliantly decorated furniture. With its heavy-duty flatbed chassis and vacuum bed, the IU-1000F handles heavy metal and wooden materials with incredible ease.

“With the life cycles and requirements for outdoor and indoor advertising, event decorations and store displays being shorter and more diverse than ever, there’s a definite need for the new IU-1000F,” said Jay Roberts, Roland DGA Product Manager, UV Printers. “This cutting-edge, high-productivity UV flatbed enables shops to respond effectively to increasing output demands and shorter turn-around times. It offers break-through print speed, exceptional image quality, and outstanding material compatibility, allowing for high-volume, high-impact graphics without the need for mounting and drying processes.”

Roland’s IU-1000F boasts many features and functions that maximize efficiency and ensure optimum overall performance. Variable dot technology allows for the simultaneous firing of droplets in three sizes to create high-definition images, smooth gradations and solid color output. The IU-1000F printer’s state-of-the-art UV-LED lamps save energy and lengthen lamp life. For easy media handling and print stability, the IU-1000F is equipped with a variable zone vacuum that can be applied to four different sections of the flatbed to maximize air cushion in specific areas. Additionally, the IU-1000F is equipped with specially designed media alignment pins that ensure consistent media placement of multiple boards and double-sided panels.

Other noteworthy IU-1000F features include a media ionizer to ensure ink-firing accuracy on materials like corrugated board that generated a lot of static, a Roland Print Control Center for easy management of the machine’s movements, speed, voltage and head cleaning; one-touch, automated daily print head cleaning; and the ability to print on one board or multiple boards at the same time. Users will also appreciate the included premium RIP software package, which includes intuitive tiling, scaling, cropping, and other essential tools for maximum functionality, versatility and ease of use.

What Is Car Rental Insurance And When Drivers Should Buy It

Leave a comment


News Image

“Whenever you drive a rental car, you must insure optimal coverage. Visit our website for more car insurance info and free quotes”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains what it is car rental insurance and why drivers should buy it.

There are many situations when a person may need to rent a car. When the personal car is on service, waiting to be repaired, a rental car may be really useful. This car must be covered by the one who rents it. Find out more about rental car insurance and get free quotes at https://compare-autoinsurance.org/read-more-about-car-rental-insurance/.

Rental car insurance may refer to coverage used for a rental car or the coverage on the personal auto policy which pays for a rental car. In both cases, it covers a car used for a predetermined period.

Insuring a rented car provides the same coverage as any auto insurance for the personal vehicle. The policyholder can be covered for liability, medical and property damage. It all depends on selected coverage options.

It is possible to get coverage from the car rental company. Usually, the car rental company offers the next 4 types of coverage:


  • Additional Liability Insurance. Also named Supplemental Liability Insurance. It covers the property damage and bodily injuries caused when driving the rental car. If the driver has good liability coverage limits on his personal policy, this coverage is not a priority.

  • Personal Accident Insurance. While liability coverage covers other people’s property damage and injuries in an accident, personal accident coverage includes medical, ambulance and death benefits for the rental car driver and his passengers.

  • Collision Damage Waiver. Also known as LDW (Loss Damage Waiver). It is a waiver of responsibility. The policyholder will not be held accountable if he is involved in an accident while driving the rental car. Pay attention to waiver limits and the state’s rules.

  • Personal Effects Coverage. It covers belongings stolen from the rental car. Again, this coverage should not be a priority since it is likely to have those belongings covered by homeowners/renters insurance.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers.
