This is particularly useful for older insureds who may have less use for the policy benefits than the cash.

An independent insurance consultant advises insureds on a fee-for-service retainer, similar to an attorney, and thus offers completely independent advice, free of the financial conflict of interest of brokers and/or agents.

Disputes between insurers and insureds over the validity of claims or claims handling practices occasionally escalate into litigation (see insurance bad faith ).

However, treating insureds differently when there is no actuarially sound reason for doing so is unlawful discrimination.

Insurance premiums from many insureds are used to fund accounts reserved for later payment of claims – in theory for a relatively few claimants – and for overhead costs.

Standard line insurance companies usually charge lower premiums than excess line insurers and may sell directly to individual insureds.
