Why do some jobs get insurance discounts and others don't?
Insurance companies analyze a lot of information to better forecast risk (customers).

Companies have found that drivers with higher levels of education and certain jobs are less likely to file a claim and offer a discount for being in a lower risk category. Each company rates drivers a bit differently so it may be time to consider shopping around for a new insurance company.

Will my insurance company pay me directly for a claim?
