What does the term "insurance transaction" NOT include as defined by RCW 48.01.060?

The term "insurance transaction" as defined by RCW 48.01.060 encompasses various activities related to the insurance process, including solicitation, negotiations, execution of contracts, and claims handling. However, it typically does not cover the negotiation of specific premiums for car insurance as a standalone activity within the broader scope of insurance transactions.

While negotiating premiums is indeed part of the insurance process, it is more specific and may be considered an action that occurs within the scope of a broader transaction rather than a separate transaction on its own. The other options involve core activities that are directly defined as part of insurance dealings under the law, such as solicitation (initiating contact with potential clients), execution (the finalization of insurance contracts), and claims handling (managing claims post-policy execution). Each of these elements represents integral aspects of the insurance operation, while negotiating premiums is more specific and context-dependent.
