Life Insurance or Death Claims in Death of Alabama Girl

Have you heard of somebody dying from running too much? That is exactly what happened to Savannah Hardin, 9, or Birmingham, Alabama when she was punished by her grandmother and step mom. Now I wonder, will they benefit from the death of the little girl? Is there a life insurance policy on little Savannah’s life or did her mother leave her some inheritance that the family can make use of when they file a death claim?

You see, Savannah ate a chocolate bar despite being told not to do so. Then, reportedly, she lied about it. So her irate grandma and step mom punished her and made her run around their yard endlessly. Sure, they did not inflict bodily pain on her by spanking, slapping, or beating, but they made sure that the girl learned her lesson by making her run and run.

The punishment went on until after about three hours, the girl dropped, had seizures, and became unresponsive. It was learned that the child collapsed because of dehydration and the shortage of sodium. This condition is common among people who join marathons.

The suspects were identified as grandmother Joyce Hardin Garrard, 46, and step mom Jessica Mae Hardin, 27. For the harsh discipline that they inflicted on Savannah, the two women were charged were murder and a steep bail was set at $500,000 each.

My guess is that they were thinking of cashing out on a life insurance or death claim. Tsk. Tsk. What a waste!

Investment Opportunities with Insurance Companies

Many insurance companies are now offering investment opportunities like balanced funds, mutual funds, and equities. It is a good opportunity to invest in reputable companies because they have good finance managers that had been handling their corporate assets and investments, which is the reason why they can give good value to your insurance policies.

If you are going to invest in bonds and funds, then a good place to start is the company where you are insured. You can ask your agent and they can present to you their different investment portfolios. Some are just purely for investments while others have life insurance coverage with them. It really depends on what you want, what you need, and the risks that you are willing to take.

You may also ask your agent regarding what is spread betting all about. You may want to play with some extra money and kinda predict how markets will perform. If your calculations and educated guesses are right, you are sure to make good money from spread betting. And the good thing is, profits from spread betting are free from all kinds of taxes.

NFL Player Knowshon Moreno Will Have Higher Auto Insurance Quotes

Overspeeding and DUI for Knowshon Moreno

Knowshon Moreno, an injured NFL player for the Denver Broncos must be feeling low because of a bad season in his career last year. We don’t know the exact reason but what we know is, Moreno will have higher auto insurance quotes.

Why?

That is because the other day, Moreno was caught drunk driving a Bentley convertible along Interstate 25 in Denver at a speed of 70 mph. But there was a construction going in the area and so the speed limit there now is lowered to 45 mph. And the worst thing is, his licensed plate reads, “SAUCED”. I am pretty sure that did not work well with the highway patrol officers and just spells one thing–DUI. (Read: Sauced = Drunk).

Anyway, it could be remembered that the Denver running back was first rendered ineffective in his team. Then he was benched and was replaced by Willis McGahee. Then, he popularity was shadowed by the football sensation that is Tim Tebow. And the final straw was being taken out of Week 10 because he suffered from a knee injury.

But instead of pulling his life together and improving his game, Moreno, 24, resorted to the comfort that liquor could bring. When he was pulled, the cops gave him a breath test and a field sobriety test.

Moreno was brought to a detox facility and was charged with DUI, failing to have insurance and careless driving. He should really get a Bentley accident insurance on his car because that is a very expensive piece. Moreno will be arraigned on March 2.
