Subject: RE: RE: RE: RE: What can an agent do??
I absolutely agree - it is DEFINITELY a risk not to carry UM/UIM. I choose to take it. I would not advise the same of others who do not have my resources. As far as a claim for someone in my car - that's what liability is for - I carry very high liability and since my family is all out of state there are no 1st party riders in my car, ever, only 3rd parties who can make a liability claim if I were to ever injure them.
My point is that it's not an agent's choice - it's mine. And we as insurance professionals can explain and can (and should) protect ourselves and our business by refusing, asking for waivers, etc but the bottom line is (as the last post states) until there are SERIOUS, FAR-REACHING financial repercussions to making poor choices, nothing will change. If we stop bailing them out, they'll stop doing stupid things (or they won't need homeowner's insurance anymore because they can't afford to rebuild). I feel sorry for people stuck in a bad situation but bailing them out only encourages them to do the same thing over and over again.
May I also say that I always enjoy reading your comments - well thought out, correct grammar and spelling, polite - very nice to see :-)
