What the course covers

The course material offers a multifaceted exploration of ethics and professionalism within the insurance industry, primarily through detailed case studies and philosophical commentary. Several scenarios illustrate ethical dilemmas faced by insurance professionals, such as an agent deciding whether to insure a financially high-risk client, a claims manager prioritizing tornado recovery claims, and an agent dealing with a relative who wants to avoid paying premiums. Other sections focus on the evolving role and legal status of insurance producers, contrasting the industry's self-proclaimed "professional" title with judicial reluctance to confer that status due to perceived shortcomings in education and fiduciary duty. Finally, the sources analyze broader issues like the ethical implications of industry practices such as using credit scores to determine auto premiums, offering "accident forgiveness," and responding to catastrophes and a changing climate by resisting politically driven, short-term mandates for change.
