    Solution

    Deductibles serve multiple purposes:

      • Reduce premiums: By paying a portion of the loss, the insured helps reduce the overall cost of insurance.
      • Avoid small claims: Deductibles discourage the filing of small claims that are not economically significant.
      • Encourage risk management: Deductibles incentivize the insured to take precautions to prevent losses.
