Understanding Long Term Care Insurance and Why you need it

Written By Charlotte Insurance on May 28, 2015. It has 0 comments.

No one thinks it will happen to them. A devastating illness, a horrible accident, whatever it may be, your life can change in an instant. One moment you’re an active person, and the next you’re sick or injured with little to no independence and in need of constant care.

Long term care insurance, unlike health insurance, isn’t meant to help cover the costs of a cure. Instead, it’s used to help cover the often astronomical costs of the care you’ll need during your illness or injury, whether it’s part of recovery or learning to live with a new normal in life.

What Type of Insurance Does your Church or House of Worship Need?

Written By Charlotte Insurance on May 18, 2015. It has 0 comments.

You may not think of your church or house of worship as a business entity. Why would you? You help worshipers get in touch with their spirituality. You counsel the downtrodden and visit the sick. Your church nursery is filled with precious children who may grow up to join the church as adults. You work with people. Why would you need a special type of insurance?

The fact of the matter is that churches often function as much more than places of worship. Your church may also be a day care, preschool, meeting location, counseling center, and more. Even though your intent is to take care of your community, you still have the same worries and concerns as any other business: damage, theft, destruction, and, unfortunately, potential lawsuits.

Workers Compensation Ghost Policies

Written By Charlotte Insurance on April 7, 2015. It has 0 comments.

Inexpensive Charlotte workers compensation insurance coverage sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? For small business owners with no employees, who are typically exempt from workers compensation, it can be a lifesaver – or at the very least, a business-saver.

Ghost policies are a type of workers comp coverage that satisfies mandated requirements for single proprietors or self-employed business owners. When a job requires coverage but you are exempt from needing workers compensation, ghost policies step in to fill the gap at a lower cost. The only thing ghost policies do is fill a requirement for a company or government entity that might be hiring contractors. They don’t provide any actual coverage.
