Most auto insurance companies are only willing to offer coverage to drivers classified as having “standard risk”. These are drivers with a history of few violations distributed over a period of years or owners of cars that are not extremely expensive or not statistically at high risk of accidents.

A few companies may give priority on attracting drivers with outstanding driving records since this group of drivers is statistically correlated with low risk of accidents. Auto insurance companies classify these drivers as preferred and are normally charged with lower premiums because chances of accidents are expected to be less.

Drivers classified as “non-standard risks” are drivers that statistically, or through their own driving history, are at higher risk than average drivers. There are a number of companies in Fall River Massachusetts that cover for a broad range of drivers while others may only insure just one type. Some may even establish a group of companies with each member having a different underwriting goal. This allows them the flexibility to insure a broad range of drivers and charge appropriate premiums for each group.
There are some drivers who do not fall into any of these categories and cannot get insurance with any auto insurance company. These people must get insurance through an assigned risk program. Assigned risk programs vary from state to state, but most allow drivers to have access to auto insurance – though often at a relatively high price.
