Who is required to participate in the loss assessments for the Washington Fair Plan?

Participation in the loss assessments for the Washington Fair Plan is mandated for all property insurance companies and fraternals operating in the market. This requirement ensures that the burden of losses is shared across all entities, promoting stability and fairness within the insurance system. By including all property insurers, the plan can effectively manage risks and provide coverage for high-risk properties that might not be insurable through traditional means.

This collective responsibility is crucial in helping to fund the Fair Plan, which offers insurance options for properties unable to secure coverage through the conventional insurance market. The approach helps protect consumers and ensures that there is a support structure in place for those affected by significant loss events.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the requirements of participation in the Washington Fair Plan. Limiting participation to large insurance companies, auto insurers, or real estate agents does not align with the overarching goal of providing equitable access to insurance for all property owners at risk.
