Political Quotes

“Most elderly persons in our country over the years, at least, I think the biggest majority of them, believed in having a home and buying a home and paying for their home by the time they reach retirement age. Most of them have what the insurance industry calls a homeowner's policy. Now, how does that affect the illustration that he gave of the elderly defendant? Practically every homeowner's policy has a provision known as the comprehensive liability provision. And those comprehensive liability provisions which insurance companies have sold over the years are indeed very comprehensive. I commend the insurance industry for the way they have sold these policies and their breadth. They cover pretty well any type of action that might be brought, unless it is specifically excluded. The elderly individual probably in almost every case will have insurance to protect them from any liability that they might incur. Certainly, if they are driving an automobile, they carry insurance.”
