Normally unacceptable risks that are written as an ``accommodation' to an agent or broker who has an overall profitable relationship with the insurer. For example: a personal auto risk with a teenage driver of a sports car might be written if the other lines of insurance which it carries for the customer were profitable; or if the agency has had a good and profitable relationship with the insurer.
Business accepted by a company which normally would be rejected according to a strict underwriting standard, but which is accepted because of the relationship of the agent to the company or the client to the company and agent.
Insurance that by itself would not be acceptable to an insurer, but written as an accommodation where the possibility of securing other desirable business seems to justify it. AKA Accommodation Risk
Acceptance by a reinsurer, as a special consideration, of a small accommodation line on a reinsurance treaty or a facultative offer. This situation would arise where a reinsurer might have shares on many profitable treaties from a company and the said company might request the reinsurer for some supporting share on a treaty with unsatisfactory results.
Business accepted from an agent or broker which would normally be rejected according to strict underwriting standards but which is accepted because of the overall profitability of the agent's or customer's other business. As an example, an insurer might accept coverage on property that would not normally meet its underwriting standards, if the other lines of insurance which it carries for the customer were profitable. (G)
A line written on a less desirable risk or a risk that would normally be rejected but is accepted because of the overall profitability of the broker's other business.
