Insuranceopedia Explains Assigned Risk Plan
Assigned risk plans are mandated by states to provide coverage for individuals who are denied insurance by standard insurance companies. This can apply, for example, to a motorist with a history of costly claims or a worker in a high-risk occupation.
While insurers are required to participate in these plans, they typically charge higher rates than those offered for their standard policies.
