m →‎Automobile and property insurance: added information on how an appearence allowance affects deductibles for automobiles

These deductibles on commercial liability policies are known as third party deductibles or liability deductibles. Because the insured and claimant are not the same entity, insurers cannot pay the claim minus the deductible. This creates a receivable owed from the insured to the insurer.
