Life Underwriting Director in Hopkinsville, KY
Life insurance underwriters have long relied on motor vehicle records (MVRs) to provide valuable insight into the risks presented by proposed insureds. Many predictive value studies have shown higher mortality rates associated with driving under the influence, reckless driving, suspensions, speeding, and distracted driving.
