Admitted Carrier in Insurance Law and Legal Risk
Admitted Carrier, in the areas of Insurance Law and Legal Risk, may be defined in the following terms: a licensed, admitted insurer that has agreed to file its rates (and financial statements) with the state and contribute to a state guarantee fund that will back policyholders in the event it goes bankrupt (brokers say they can’t remember that happening).
Practical applicationof Admitted Carrier in Insurance Law and Legal Risk
Professional liability carriers can sell their wares in California and some other states without being “admitted” in the state, but admitted carriers offer a greater sense of security. Carriers not admitted in California (and the same happens in some other states) may have greater flexibility to insure practitioners in riskier specialties.
