Best Answer

Auto insurance companies hire insurance underwriters, who can also be referred to as writers, to underwrite the risk a driver poses to the company. Underwriters determine how much a policyholder will pay for their insurance rates based on how much risk they carry. If a driver has tickets and accidents, an underwrite will rate them accordingly. Underwriters are very important in insurance because they make sure that policyholders pay the correct rates to prevent the insurance company from going bankrupt.
