Definition of Insurance Law
In order to understand insurance law, it is useful to understand insurance
first. Insurance is a contract in which one party (the "insured") pays money
(called a premium) and the other party promises to reimburse the first for
certain types of losses (illness, property damage, or death) if they occur.
Insurance law falls into three major categories. First, the insurance
company will hire lawyers to represent the insured in case she is sued for
something related to her insurance contract. These are known as
"insurance defense attorneys." For example, an automobile insurance
company will hire an attorney to represent an insured driver when she gets
sued for causing another driver's injuries. The second category of
insurance law helps insured people determine when an insurance company
must pay a claim. Third, insurance companies typically hire attorneys to
make sure the company complies with all applicable laws and regulations,
which can vary by state.
