New York Life Insurance Building

Whole life Insurance

Life insurance contracts pay off in the event that the insured person is killed. While the terms of the contract are very specific, pretty much any type of death is covered as long as it's not specifically excluded by the policy. For example, racing drivers may have auto accidents excluded from their policies, while nuclear engineers may find that death from cancer isn't covered for them. This is one of the most common practices in the insurance industry. The underwriting process is the method by which an insurance company assesses the risk of a potential client and writes or denies their plan accordingly. While there are dozens of types of life insurance policies, the two most frequently seen in the United States are whole life and term life plans.

Tower Clock

The Clock Tower Office Building, originally the home office of the New York Life Insurance Company, is bounded by Broadway, Leonard Street, Lafayette Street and Catherine Lane.
The New York Life Insurance Company moved to Madison Square in 1927. The Clock Tower continued to be used as an office building, housing some City agencies as early as 1939. The City of New York bought the building in 1967 and moved the Criminal Court, Summons Part there, along with several City agencies.
One of New York's older life insurance companies, New York Life erected a headquarters building at the Broadway end of the current site in 1868-1870. In 1894, Stephen Decatur Hatch was commissioned to extend the building eastward. Shortly thereafter he died, and the commission was taken over by McKim, Mead & White. Hatch's rear extension was built, but the company then decided to replace its earlier building. The elevations facing the narrow side streets continue Hatch's design, while McKim, Mead & White's Broadway frontage is a flamboyant palazzo-like pavilion crowned by a clock tower. The building retains many of New York Life's original interior spaces, including a marble lobby, a 13-story stair hall, a banking hall, executive offices, and the clock tower machinery room.

The Clock Tower Building is a designated New York City Landmark, with both the exterior and parts of the interior landmarked. It is also on the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places.

Welcome to the car club

 
Welcome to The Car Club - a new club for car owners.
Currently, the club is in the process of being formed, and we're looking for people to help us get it off the ground. Sorry, we're not offering any financial rewards for this, you'll simply get the satisfaction of being involved in something new from the very start.
The Car Club is intended to be a place where car owners can meet online and share information, swap stories, arrange meets etc. Exactly how that's all going to work out is up to you. Please contact us if you would like to be involved in this new club.
We now have thousands of pictures of cars on the site. Please help us to organise them by rating the pics as you see fit. The system will prompt you with a pair of randomly selected photographs of cars. All we'd like you to do is to select the picture that most appeals to you. Your choice can be based on the car you prefer, or the picture, or a combination of both.
The system rates pictures of cars in the same way that international chess rankings are calculated. At any time, each picture has its own ranking. When you select one picture over another, the picture you select gains some ranking points from the other one. The number of points transferred depends on how big that car's rating was previously. Please visit our Car Picture Ranking System and help out by rating a few of our pictures. It will only take a few moments and it's a fun way to browse the best of our pictures of cars.

Compare Auto, Homeowner, Health Insurance Quotes

Everyone knows that insurance premiums can be affected by your credit history or perhaps a spotty driving record in the case of auto insurance. But few people realize that an insurance company's loss experience is one of the biggest factors for determining how much they will pay for coverage. How so? Well, say for example an insurance company paid out a large amount of homeowner insurance claims due to a particularly catastrophic year of floods and fire damage. The same insurance company may also provide auto insurance coverage. To compensate for the losses experienced under their home owner insurance division, they may raise premiums for their car insurance customers even if they had no accidents or tickets. Or, they could simply increase the insurance prices for house insurance policyholders in another state.
Insurance is a business, and like any other business it needs to generate profit. Monetary losses from an excessive amount of insurance claims are usually shifted to the consumer in the package of higher insurance premiums. If the insurance company had an extremely profitable year, they may lower rates to attract more customers and increase the number of policyholders they have. For this reason, insurance rates vary greatly from one company to another.
Health and life insurance rates are very low right now in this competitive insurance industry. However, some health and life insurance companies offer low initial rates to gain insurance customers and then gradually increase these teaser insurance rates over time. The best way to ensure you are getting the best price for your insurance needs is to review your policy rates regularly and compare them against what other competing insurance companies are offering. You can do this by requesting insurance quotes from multiple insurance companies.

Insurance


Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium, and can be thought of as a guaranteed small loss to prevent a large, possibly devastating loss. An insurer is a company selling the insurance; an insured is the person or entity buying the insurance. The insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount to be charged for a
certain amount of insurance coverage, called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.
