I’m confused because I thought underwriters also dealt with claims, but I guess that might be more of a claims adjuster's role?

Wait, is the underwriter's job to advise on required insurance levels? That sounds like option B to me. Or is it to assist the buyer in selecting the right insurance? I'm a bit confused on the exact responsibilities here.

Hmm, the job of an underwriter sounds a lot like being a secret agent. They're the ones who decide who gets the insurance license, right?
