Episode 1: What's the Law...Listing Operators on the Mass. Auto Policy 
with Irene Morrill, CPCU, CIC, CRM, CRIS, CPIW, LIA, ARM 
MAIA's Vice President of Technical Affairs, imorrill@massagent.com
 
Irene addresses the question and occasional insured objection to "Who needs to be listed on this mass. auto policy?" What does the law say about listing operators on the mass auto policy? Hint: Honesty is the Best Policy Here....and the truth is that "creative auto rating" just isn't worth it. And why updating the policy with changes as they happen is also important. 
 
The Laws discussed in this episode....
MGL c.175 s.186 - Misrepresentation or warranty by insured.
MGL c.266 s.111B - Motor vehicle insurance policies; penalties for fraudulent claims.
MGL c.90 s.34O - Property damage liability insurance or bonds.
 
Irene is quick to point out that answering the application honestly and completely is key and reminds us that it's always cheaper to pay the true premium than to be denied coverage. "It's always cheaper to pay the right premium, than to not pay a claim".
