Underwriting in life insurance is the process insurers use to determine whether an applicant should be insured. Based on the information gathered, the underwriter categorises the applicant into various risk classes (standard, preferred, substandard, and Declined). After meticulous evaluations, the underwriter can either accept, decline, or reject the application or raise the premium for higher-risk profiles.
Term insurance offers a safety net for firefighters. It ensures that the families of these firefighters get the much-needed financial support during tough times. Remember that insurance companies assess risks based on the likelihood of claims, and premiums for firefighters are usually high because of the risk associated with their occupation.
