Candidate X: Liability insurance protects individual targets of suits from having to pay for damages if a judgment of liability is rendered against them. This form of insurance should be outlawed because juries would render more fair and reasonable awards to injured parties if the jurors knew there would be no insurance company paying for the damages.
Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?
(A) Insurance companies charge unreasonable premiums for liability insurance.
(B) People would be less likely to sue in court for damages if they knew they would get small awards.
(C) At present, insurance companies do not pay for damage awarded to the injured party in a nonjury trial.
(D) At present, juries do not always render awards based solely on an estimate of damages suffered by injured parties.
(E) At present, juries are not informed enough to judge liability suits fairly.

Conclusion : Liability insurance should be outlawed because juries would render more fair and reasonable awards to injured parties if the jurors knew there would be no insurance company paying for the damages.
given
Liability insurance protects individual targets of suits from having
to pay for damages if a judgment of liability is rendered against them.
Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?
Let's think '
In what scenario Liability insurance should not be outlawed .
Given
juries would render more fair and reasonable awards to injured parties
if the judges knew there would be no insurance company paying for the damages.
What if the judges are accessing the damages properly and not just based on the insurance covered amount they are giving their judgments . IN that case Liability insurance should not be outlawed.
So author must be assuming , Judges are not assessing current damages properly .
With this understanding lets go for POE .
(A) Insurance companies charge unreasonable premiums for liability insurance.
-- Premiums are out of scope . out
(B) People would be less likely to sue in court for damages if they knew they would get small awards.
-- No such comparison discussed in passage -- out
(C) At present, insurance companies do not pay for damage awarded to the injured party in a nonjury trial.
-- This is not spoken in the passage. out
(D) At present, juries do not always render awards based solely on an estimate of damages suffered by injured parties.
-- Matches our analysis. Could be my ans.
(E) At present, juries are not informed enough to judge liability suits fairly.
-- Not relevant -- out
