The goal is to incent agents to avoid "high risk" clients...the unintended consequence is a divergence between the caring ads and the harsh reality.
Big agents can get past that with diversification...but one with a small book of business will struggle with the balancing act.
Yeah I kind of got it but when you have been with them a while and never had a wreck in your life (except when I was 17 I hit a deer), DH never. You would like help sorting through the mucky mess. We couldn't even get an adjuster to look at it for a week to make a call on whether it was totalled. But the bikes are covered for theft, I don't think you can get a policy for wrecking it yourself. Maybe Lloyd's of London?
