Making important policy decisions without consulting the client goes against the principles of good client-agent communication and may not align with the client's needs and preferences. A good agent should prioritize client satisfaction and ensure that the client is involved in decision-making to provide the best possible service.Rate this question:

The Kelly Blue Book value provides a standard reference point for the value of a vehicle, while the fair market value takes into account the current market conditions and the specific circumstances of the claim. By considering both values, the insurer can ensure a fair and accurate payout for the damage.Rate this question:
