VALUED POLICY
A policy under which the insurer pays a specified amount of money to or on behalf of the insured upon the occurrence of a defined loss. The money amount is not related to the extent of the loss. Life insurance policies are an example.
VANDALISM
The malicious and often random destruction or spoilage of another person’s property.
VARIABLE ANNUITY
An annuity whose contract value or income payments vary according to the performance of the stocks, bonds and other investments selected by the contract owner.
VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE
A policy that combines protection against premature death with a savings account that can be invested in stocks, bonds, and money market mutual funds at the policyholder’s discretion.
VIATICAL SETTLEMENT COMPANIES
Insurance firms that buy life insurance policies at a steep discount from policyholders who are often terminally ill and need the payment for medications or treatments. The companies provide early payouts to the policyholder, assume the premium payments, and collect the face value of the policy upon the policyholder’s death.
VOID
A policy contract that for some reason specified in the policy becomes free of all legal effect. One example under which a policy could be voided is when information a policyholder provided is proven untrue.

When our previous insurance provider decided to make a change in our career we were a little anxious. We had become accustomed to being on a first-name basis and getting quick responses to our requests. Little did we know at the time we had nothing to worry about as American Insure-All has more than met our previous expectations. Don and his team have been quick to respond to our needs and provide us with the peace of mind that we were looking for in a provider.

We switched to American Insure-All many years ago and Don has always taken great care of all our needs. He has always been honest, fair, and very timely with each policy request. American Insure-All is a pleasure to deal with and we highly recommend them.

I highly recommend this agency for any insurance policy you may need. Don was very helpful with my new policies with American Insure-All. He saved me about $200 per month. The insurance company I was previously with was super expensive. The best thing I ever did was switch to American Insure-All.

I can't say enough about American Insure-All and the services they have provided both myself and my referred clients over the past decades. As a real estate broker for over 30 years, I utilize many vendors and service companies, but the people at American Insure-All are at the top of our list. The level of trust they have earned from us is second to none. They are incredibly responsive to our client's needs but more importantly, we can trust the council that they offer our clients.

We have been working with Don for about 15 years and won't even consider making any changes. He's been super responsive and it's always a pleasure to work with him whether we have a question or need to update a policy, etc.
