What Does An Underwriter Do?
Underwriters have complex jobs. They understand risks and how to avoid them. By using a risk assessment, they can determine whether an insured meets the insurer’s specific coverage requirements and what terms policies will include. Insurance underwriters assess risks of insuring homes, cars, and life insurance applicants.
