Drone exam · Insurance

Immediately after an incident, a pilot tells the property owner, 'This is completely our fault and our insurer will pay everything.' Why can that be unhelpful?

Answer

The pilot should provide accurate facts, protect people and property, and follow the company's reporting process without making unsupported promises about legal liability or insurance coverage.

Explanation

Cause and coverage may need investigation. A rushed admission can conflict with policy conditions and may be inaccurate before the facts are known.
