Description

The Personal Auto Policy (PAP) is the most often written insurance policy in our industry. If a person has only one insurance policy, it is very likely a Personal Auto Policy. This coverage form is an incredibly important part of a personal risk management plan for each and every personal lines client because of their liability exposures. Even if a client does not own an auto, a Personal Auto Policy should be considered. The PAP provides broad liability protection, but careful review of its Insuring Agreements, exclusions and conditions must be undertaken by the insurance professional to make certain that it is truly a ‘A Friendly Little Fella’.
