Every request for property-casualty insurance that crosses an underwriter’s desk is unique. If that were not the case, the job of underwriting would not exist, and each application could be processed mechanically, in assembly-line fashion.

Underwriters are responsible for making good decisions about every application they receive, based on the facts about that particular risk.
