MYTH #1
Insureds in a high risk class of business will always have a high mod.
FACT #1
Most top markets offer loss control services, which help reduce the frequency and severity of claims for any class of business.
MYTH #2
All carriers would handle the same claim the same way.
FACT #2
Some carriers prioritize closing claims quickly and efficiently in order to lower the overall cost of an accident.
MYTH #3
One accident will not affect an insured’s premium significantly.
FACT #3
Insureds are affected by the delayed impact of a claim for multiple years. First, the mod will not be adjusted until a full year after the policy term ends. Then, the claim will remain a mod component for THREE full years thereafter. Prior claimants can be long gone from a company before their debit mod goes away.
Many of our “A” Rated carriers provide resources to help you decrease your experience mod.
