Alaska Agent made the point in saying "what professional insurance producer would ever tell an insured they don't need coverage".....especially since all independent agents as well as many captive agents are paid commissions-only, NOT salary and NOT hourly wage, it is in our own self-interests to sell as much coverage was possible, since we're all "commission hungry" and "just out to make as big a sale as possible, like the greedy lawyers always claim, making us out to the public that we're all "nothing but crooks out for the commission", right? What kind of lawyers even take these kinds of cases? Crooks that are just out to grab as much legal fees and lawsuit money as possible?

It is not worth the E&O hit to willingly sell a policy without adequate coverage just because Joe Public customer wants everything for nothing. Sorry but there's no free lunch.

If you can't afford to buy enough coverage to indemnify you against loss of your home, your car, your personal property, etc, then you have no business buying that home or that car, bottom line.
