collected from the
insuring public.

amount collected

contract between 2
parties.
On party called the

amount of money on

certain event

the insured in respect
of the loss
Letter of subrogation
Ex : Vehicle theft claim

11. Contribution
 An insured may have several insurances on the same subject matter. If he
recovers his loss under all these insurances, he will obviously make a profit
out of the loss.
 The right of insurers who have paid a loss under a policy to recover a
proportionate amount from other insurers who are liable for the same loss.
 The common law principle allows the insured to recover his full loss within
the sum insured from any insurers he likes.

12. Proximate Cause
It means the active efficient cause
that sets in motion a train of events
which brings about a result, without
the intervention of any force started
and working actively from a new and
independent source.
A person insured under personal
accident policy went out hunting
and met with an accident. Due to
shock and weakness he was unable
to walk. From the wet ground he
contracted cold which developed
into pneumonia which caused his
death. The proximate cause of death
was the original accident and
pneumonia is only a remote cause
and hence the claim is payable.
