In January, a car overtook me while I was turning right. My car was not damaged but the other party, who lost only door trimming, claimed £1,000 for repairs and £1,300 for car hire, which made me wonder how “accidental” the crash was. The claim is being handled by Premier, the company that my broker, Budget, insured me with. The other side is denying blame and the insurance companies had still not agreed by July, when my policy came up for renewal.
The new quote from Budget more than doubled to £717. Premier told me that, once the claim was settled, the no claims discount (NCD) would be reinstated, so I accepted the high premium.
Late Saturday night, the House of Representatives narrowly approved the Affordable Health Care for America Act by a vote of 220-215, a much closer margin than was thought, considering the overwhelming majority Democrats hold.
