The insurance policy is a contract between the insurer and insured (policyholder) that determines what claims the insurer must pay. In exchange for a premium, the insurer promises to pay for losses covered under the policy language. Insurance policies have specific features not seen in other contracts to fulfill particular needs. The policy is generally an integrated agreement that includes all documents associated with the contract between insured and insurer.

The document provides an overview of insurance, including:
1. It defines insurance and explains why we need it to reduce exposure to risks.
2. It discusses insurance lines and products such as life, property-liability, disability, and health insurance.
3. It describes the roles of insurers and intermediaries in functions like product design, pricing, distribution, underwriting, and loss settlement.
This document provides a summary of a presentation on current trends in construction litigation and insurers' defense and indemnity obligations. The presentation was given by attorneys from the law firm Tharpe & Howell and covered various topics including types of liability policies, insureds and additional insureds, defense obligations, self-insured retentions, indemnity obligations, coverage triggers, endorsements and exclusions, claims handling, and contribution between insurers. The panel discussed recent case law and trends in each of these areas of insurance law as they relate to construction defect litigation.
This article discusses the separation of insureds clause as it applies in various policies: CGL, business auto, garage, truckers, and business owners. Includes reference to additional insured and cross liability coverage on the commercial general liability form.
The wording of current liability insurance policies has brought about questions concerning who is insured and to whom the various exclusions and conditions apply. The separation of insureds clause under the CGL form, for example, states that the insurance applies “as if each named insured were the only named insured’’ and “separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought.’’ So a question arises: if the named insured makes a liability claim against an entity who is an insured under the named insured’s CGL form, will the insurer defend that other insured and pay the named insured for his or her alleged damages?
Another example is exclusion (j) (4) on the CGL form. That exclusion deals with property damage to personal property in the care, custody, or control of the insured. Here, the question is: does the exclusion apply only to the particular insured that has the personal property in his or her hands, or can it be applied to all the insureds under the CGL form simply because one of the insureds has control of the property?
The document discusses key concepts related to insurance. It defines insurance as a cooperative method of spreading risk among a group of individuals. It also defines key principles of insurance such as utmost good faith, indemnity, subrogation, and causation. Additionally, it outlines different types of insurance like life, non-life, marine, fire, motor and engineering insurance.
This document discusses insurance and risk management. It provides explanations of key concepts like subrogation, indemnity, and anti-selection bias. It also discusses the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988 and the types of static and dynamic risks. The document analyzes insurance products offered through bancassurance partnerships of SBI-New India and ICICI Prudential.
1. An insured has the right to selectively tender its defense to one or more concurrent insurers for a loss and decline an insurer's participation.
2. An insured may deactivate a previous tender to an insurer in order to invoke exclusive coverage with another insurer, even after a claim is settled.
3. All primary insurance must be exhausted before excess coverage applies, but the insured can then selectively tender the excess indemnity to concurrent excess insurers.
The document discusses the principle of utmost good faith in insurance contracts. It imposes a high degree of honesty on both parties. It is supported by the legal doctrines of representations, concealment, and warranty. Representations are statements made by the applicant, while concealment is the intentional failure to disclose material facts. A warranty is a statement or promise that must be true for the insurer to be liable. The principle of proximate cause examines which cause among multiple causes was the most direct and decisive in causing a loss covered under the policy.
This document defines insurance and outlines key terminology used in the insurance industry such as policy, premium, insured, and indemnity. It discusses various principles of insurance contracts including utmost good faith, indemnity, insurable interest, and proximate cause. The document also categorizes different types of insurance like life, fire, marine, and general insurance. It provides examples of life and general insurance policies. Additionally, it defines roles of insurance intermediaries like agents, brokers, surveyors, and TPAs. Finally, the document outlines different types of risks covered by insurance like systematic, unsystematic, credit, country, and foreign exchange risk.
This document outlines seven key principles of insurance: utmost good faith, insurable interest, indemnity, contribution, subrogation, loss minimization, and nearest cause. It provides examples and explanations of each principle, including how insurable interest requires a financial stake in the insured object or loss, utmost good faith requires full disclosure, indemnity provides compensation for loss rather than profit, and contribution and subrogation determine payment among multiple insurers. The principles of loss minimization and nearest cause also guide determining responsibility and liability.
This document discusses the key principles of insurance. It defines insurance as a form of risk management that involves the equitable transfer of risk from one entity to another in exchange for payment. The main entities in an insurance agreement are the insurer, who sells the insurance, and the insured, who buys the insurance policy. Premiums are the amounts charged for a certain level of insurance coverage. Several acts govern insurance in India. The document also discusses insurable risks, types of insurance, fundamental insurance principles like indemnity and insurable interest, and circumstances under which an insurer must return paid premiums.

The document provides an introduction to various concepts in insurance including the life insurance contract, principles of insurance, utmost good faith, insurable interest, and different types of insurance policies like term insurance, whole life insurance, endowment policies, and annuities. It explains that a life insurance contract is a valid legal agreement between the insurer and insured where the insurer agrees to pay claims on the happening of an insured event in exchange for premiums paid by the insured.
The document outlines several key legal principles of insurance:
1) The principle of indemnity states that insurance should compensate for actual losses without profiting the insured and reduces moral hazard. Actual cash value considers depreciation.
2) The principle of insurable interest requires the insured to have a financial stake in the insured item/life to prevent gambling and reduce moral hazard.
3) The principle of subrogation allows insurers to recover payments from liable third parties to prevent double recovery and hold responsible parties accountable.
4) The principle of utmost good faith requires high honesty from applicants regarding representations, concealments, and warranties.
This document summarizes a presentation on excess insurance coverage. It discusses when excess coverage is triggered, such as when the underlying insurer or insured pays the full amount of the underlying policy limits. It also addresses issues like insolvent underlying insurers, the difference between per occurrence and aggregate limits, notification duties to excess insurers, vertical versus horizontal exhaustion of primary policies, and duties of primary insurers regarding settlement and defense of claims. The presentation was given by Jennifer Mathis of Troutman Sanders LLP and Jerold Oshinsky of Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman LLP.
This document provides an overview of principles of insurance. It defines insurance as the equitable transfer of risk from one entity to another in exchange for payment. The key points are:
1) Insurance involves an insurer selling a policy to an insured for a premium. Various acts govern insurance in India.
2) A contract of insurance involves the insurer undertaking to pay the insured a sum of money if a specified event occurs.
3) For a risk to be insurable it must meet criteria like being based on the law of large numbers and having definable, accidental losses.
4) The main types of insurance are personal, property, liability, and guarantee. Fundamental principles include utmost good faith, in
Requirement of insurable interest for life insurance SharfaKhan1
The document discusses the requirement of insurable interest for life insurance policies.

Michael Marick - Breaking down barriers in policyholder- insurer disputes ove...Michael Marick
Corporate policyholders/insureds who have been sued share a common interest with their liability insurers—successfully defending those lawsuits. Yet insureds and insurers often disagree on the choice of defense counsel and how much the insurer must pay toward legal bills. These disputes are costly and, in most instances, can be avoided.
Learning About Your Insurance Policy.pdfIGI general
The document discusses the key components of an insurance policy, including:
- The declarations page that specifies the insured, risks covered, policy limits, and duration.
- The insuring agreement that lists what is covered and the insurer's guarantees to pay damages for covered risks.
- Exclusions that list risks, losses, or assets not covered by the policy.
- Conditions that limit the insurer's obligations and require steps like submitting proof of loss.
- Definitions that explain important terms used in the policy.
- Riders and endorsements that can modify the original policy when renewed. Thoroughly reviewing all components helps policyholders understand their obligations and coverage.
This document discusses commercial umbrella liability insurance. It provides the following key points in 3 sentences:
Umbrella policies provide liability coverage over primary policies like general liability and auto liability, sitting above underlying policy limits to provide additional coverage. They offer higher coverage limits at a more affordable cost than buying those limits separately. True umbrella policies may also cover claims not covered by primary policies, but many policies labeled as "umbrellas" are actually excess policies that only provide coverage if the underlying policy also covers it.
What Is a Contract of Indemnity: A Comprehensive GuideBnher.com
A Contract of Indemnity is a legal agreement where one party promises to compensate or reimburse another party for any loss or damage incurred. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the key aspects of a Contract of Indemnity, its purpose, elements, and the implications of entering into such agreements.
This document summarizes commercial umbrella liability insurance policies. Umbrella policies provide additional liability insurance coverage over primary policies for costs from large jury awards. They have large deductibles equal to primary policy limits, making premiums relatively inexpensive. True umbrella policies may cover exposures not covered by primary policies, with their own terms and deductible. Excess liability policies similarly provide additional coverage but follow primary policy terms. Factors like separate deductibles and page length can distinguish umbrella from excess policies.
Difficult Coinsurance Problems In Builder's Risk InsuranceSeth Row
This document summarizes key issues regarding coinsurance clauses in builder's risk insurance policies. It discusses:
1) What coinsurance is and how it functions as a penalty for underinsuring property. If the insured does not maintain insurance of a certain percentage of the property's value, the coinsurance clause will reduce payments in the event of a claim.
2) Ways for insureds to reduce the risk of coinsurance penalties, such as regularly updating policy limits to reflect increasing property values during construction.
3) Optional policy additions like agreed value clauses that can waive coinsurance penalties for an additional cost. Maintaining accurate and up-to-date insurance limits is important to avoid coinsurance problems.
Additional Insured Issues in the Construction Industry" - Dnjcon14 session 2 ...HB Litigation Conferences
This document summarizes issues related to additional insured coverage in construction contracts. It discusses how construction contracts typically require subcontractors to name the property owner or general contractor as an additional insured on their insurance policies. Disputes often arise when injuries occur on construction sites and multiple parties seek coverage under different insurance policies. The document analyzes several court cases to explain how New Jersey courts interpret the scope of coverage for additional insureds, such as whether the injury must arise out of the subcontractor's work. It also discusses how newer additional insured endorsements have attempted to narrow coverage by using language like "caused in whole or in part by" rather than "arising out of."
Insurance intermediaries serve as the critical link between insurance companies and consumers. They facilitate the placement and purchase of insurance and provide services to both insurers and policyholders. There are two main types of intermediaries - insurance agents, who represent insurers, and insurance brokers, who represent policyholders. Intermediaries advise consumers, present insurance options, and assist with placing coverage, claims management, and risk management. They are an essential part of insurance supervision and distribution.
The document discusses the significance of insurance. It provides 3 key points:
1. Insurance provides safety and security against sudden losses by offering financial support. It reduces uncertainties in business and life.
2. Insurance generates financial resources by collecting premiums which are invested and used for economic development, creating employment opportunities and capital formation.
3. Life insurance encourages savings by enabling systematic savings through regular premium payments and providing an investment option. The insured receives a lump sum at maturity.
The document provides an overview of the Law of Insurance course offered at Ambo University School of Law. It discusses key topics that will be covered in the five chapters of the course, including the nature and function of insurance, types of insurance, regulation of the insurance business, insurance of objects, liability insurance, and life insurance. The first chapter will cover insurance in general, the significance and basic principles of insurance such as utmost good faith, indemnity, proximate cause, insurable interest, and subrogation. Subsequent chapters will examine the regulation of insurance, rights and duties of parties, scope of risks covered and compensation, and types of insurance like property, liability, and life insurance.
Self-Insured Retentions Part 2: An Examination of the Uses and Problems (from...NationalUnderwriter
This second and concluding part of the discussion on self-insured retentions first itemizes the points that should be
considered when either drafting or accepting SIRs. The discussion then addresses some additional problem areas not only with self-insured retentions having to do with primary liability policies, but also with the SIR feature of umbrella policies. It is not unusual, furthermore, for litigants, among others, to confuse deductibles with self-insured retentions, and there are differences, as one case discussed points out. In light of the fact that self-insured retentions also are growing, it also is important that parties to a contract are informed of their existence. To not do so, could end up with the accusation of failure to procure the proper insurance and, of course, such a breach is not covered by liability policies. It is for this reason that perhaps insurance certificates should be amended to insert room to notify (and warn) certificate holders of an SIR existence.
Standard Terms of Business and Non Standard TermsGary Chambers
This document provides an overview of standard and non-standard contracts from an insurance perspective. It discusses how insurers define the two types of contracts and how the differences affect insurance coverage. Standard contracts typically pass all liability to the hiring company, allowing lower premiums. Non-standard contracts vary and can pass liability back to the recruiting agency, requiring slightly higher premiums. The document outlines important clauses in contracts and insurance policies regarding liability and vicarious liability coverage for non-standard agreements.
Insurance involves pooling funds from many insured entities to pay for losses some may incur. It transfers the risk of a loss from one entity to another in exchange for payment of a premium. The insurer takes on the risk and agrees to compensate the insured in the case of a financial loss. Insurers make money through underwriting, which involves selecting risks and setting premiums, and by investing the premiums they collect. They aim to collect more in premiums and investment returns than they pay out in claims.
This document provides an overview of key concepts related to insurance contracts in India. It discusses terminology used in insurance, the nature of insurance contracts as aleatory contracts requiring utmost good faith, key principles like indemnity and proximate cause, types of insurance policies including life, fire, and marine, and concepts like insurable interest, misrepresentation, subrogation, contribution, and commencement of policies.
Insurance is a risk management relationship where the insurer agrees to bear the burden of potential losses for the insured in exchange for premium payments. Key aspects include the insured party, insurer, insurance policy contract outlining coverage and limits, and insurable interest requirement. There are various categories of insurance such as individual vs group, personal vs commercial, and liability vs property/casualty. Common types of insurance include auto, health, disability, life, homeowner's/renter's, fire, business liability, and professional liability.

1) The document discusses the implications of including a 'waiver of subrogation' clause in construction works insurance policies where there are multiple insureds. It notes that such a clause could have unintended consequences for the insurer if not carefully worded.
2) It then provides background on the legal concept of subrogation, including that it allows an insurer to 'step into the shoes' of the insured and recover losses from third parties. However, subrogation cannot be used by an insurer against its own insured.
3) The document analyzes a court case where a subcontractor claimed protection under the waiver of subrogation clause in the principal contractor's insurance policy, even though the subcontract

1. Insurance Policy
in insurance, the insurance policy is a contract among the insurer and the insured, known as
the policyholder, which determines the claims which the insurer is legally required to pay. in
exchange for a preliminary payment, referred to as the top class, the insurer promises to pay
for loss caused by perils protected underneath the policy language.
insurance contracts are designed to fulfill particular desires and for this reason, have many
features no longer observed in lots of other styles of contracts. because coverage rules are
widespread paperwork, they feature boilerplate language which is similar throughout a
huge variety of various styles of coverage rules.
the coverage policy is commonly an integrated agreement, that means that it consists of all
bureaucracy associated with the agreement between the insured and insurer. in a few cases,
but, supplementary writings including letters sent after the very last agreement can make
the insurance coverage a non-integrated contract. one insurance textbook states that
usually “courts keep in mind all prior negotiations or agreements …
every contractual term within the coverage on the time of transport, as well as the ones
were written in a while as coverage riders and endorsements … with both parties’ consent,
are part of the written policy”. the textbook additionally states that the policy ought to
discuss with all papers which are part of the coverage.oral agreements are the situation to
the parol proof rule, and won’t be taken into consideration part of the policy if the
2. agreement appears to be complete. marketing substances and circulars are normally not
part of a policy. oral contracts pending the issuance of a written policy can occur.

widespread functions
the insurance contract or settlement is an agreement whereby the insurer guarantees to pay
benefits to the insured or on their behalf to a third-celebration if positive defined occasions
occur. concern to the “fortuity principle”, the event should be unsure. the uncertainty may
be either as to whilst the event will happen (e.g. in an existence coverage, the time of the
insured’s demise is unsure) or to whether it’ll occur at all
insurance contracts are usually considered contracts of adhesion because the insurer draws
up the contract and the insured has little or no potential to make material modifications to
it. that is interpreted to intend that the insurer bears the weight if there is any ambiguity in
any phrases of the settlement. coverage rules are bought without the policyholder even
seeing a copy of the settlement.in 1970 Robert Keeton suggested that many courts have
been virtually making use of ‘affordable expectations’ instead of deciphering ambiguities,
which he has known as the ‘reasonable expectations doctrine’. this doctrine has been
debatable, with a few courts adopting it and others explicitly rejecting it. in several
jurisdictions, together with California, Wyoming, and Pennsylvania, the insured is bound by
clear and conspicuous phrases inside the contract even if the proof shows that the insured
did not study or apprehend them.
insurance contracts are aleatory in that the amounts exchanged through the insured and
insurer are unequal and depend on unsure destiny events.in evaluation, everyday non-
coverage contracts are commutative in that the amounts (or values) exchanged are usually
intended through the parties to be kind of same.this difference is mainly important inside
the context of distinguished products like finite chance insurance which incorporate
“commutation” provisions.
coverage contracts are unilateral, meaning that best the insurer makes legally enforceable
3. promises inside the agreement. the insured isn’t always required to pay the rates, however,
the insurer is required to pay the blessings below the agreement if the insured has paid the
charges and met certain different simple provisions.
insurance contracts are ruled through the principle of maximum correct religion (Berrima
files) which calls for each party of the coverage agreement to deal in true religion and
specifically it imparts at the insured an obligation to disclose all cloth information which
relates to the hazard to be covered.this contrasts with the criminal doctrine that covers most
different styles of contracts, caveat emptor (allow the client to pay attention). inside
America, the insured can sue an insurer in tort for performing in terrible religion.
structure
coverage contracts were traditionally written on the premise of every unmarried kind of risk
(wherein risks have been defined extremely narrowly), and a separate premium became
calculated and charged for every. best those character dangers expressly defined or
“scheduled” inside the policy have been blanketed; subsequently, the one’s regulations are
now defined as “person” or “schedule” regulations.this machine of “named perils” or
“particular perils”coverage proved to be unsustainable in the context of the second business
revolution, in that a standard big conglomerate would possibly have dozens of kinds of
dangers to insure towards. as an example, in 1926, an insurance enterprise spokesman
stated that a bakery would have to buy a separate coverage for every of the following risks:
production operations, elevators, teamsters, product liability, contractual liability (for a spur
song connecting the bakery to a close-by railroad), premises legal responsibility (for a retail
store), and owners’ protective liability (for negligence of contractors employed to make any
constructing changes).
in 1941, the coverage industry began to shift to the contemporary gadget where included
dangers are to start with defined widely in an “all-hazard” or “all sums” insuring settlement
on a trendy policy shape (e.g., “we are able to pay all sums that the insured becomes legally
obligated to pay as damages…”), then narrowed down with the aid of next exclusion clauses
(e.g., “this insurance does no longer follow to…”). if the insured dreams coverage for a risk
taken out by way of exclusion on the usual form, the insured can on occasion pay an extra
top rate for an endorsement to the policy that overrides the exclusion.
insurers were criticized in a few quarters for the improvement of complicated guidelines
with layers of interactions among coverage clauses, situations, exclusions, and exceptions to
4. exclusions. in a case interpreting one ancestor of the contemporary “products-completed
operations threat” clause the very best courtroom of California complained:
“ The instant case provides but some other example of the dangers of the present complex
structuring of coverage policies. alas, the insurance enterprise has to turn out to be hooked
on the practice of building into policies one circumstance or exception upon any other in
the shape of a linguistic tower of babel. we are a part of different courts in decrying a
fashion which each plunges the insured right into a country of uncertainty and burdens the
judiciary with the challenge of resolving it. we reiterate our plea for clarity and simplicity in
regulations that fulfill so critical a public carrier.
parts of a coverage contract
declarations – identifies who is an insured, the insured’s deal with, the insuring organization,
what risks or belongings are protected, the policy limits (amount of insurance), any relevant
deductibles, the coverage length and premium amount.these are commonly furnished in a
shape that is crammed out via the insurer primarily based on the insured’s utility and
connected on pinnacle of or inserted inside the first few pages of the coverage.
definitions – defines important terms used within the relaxation of the coverage.
insuring agreement – describes the included perils, or dangers assumed, or nature of
coverage. this is wherein the insurance agency makes one or more express promises to
indemnify the insured.
exclusions – take coverage away from the insuring settlement through describing property,
perils, hazards or losses arising from specific causes which are not blanketed via the policy.
conditions – those are particular provisions, regulations of conduct, responsibilities, and
responsibilities which the insured should comply with in order for coverage to incept, or
must continue to be in compliance with so that it will maintain coverage in impact. if policy
situations are not met, the insurer can deny the claim.
coverage shape – the definitions, insuring settlement, exclusions, and situations are
generally mixed right into a unmarried included file called a coverage shape, insurance
shape, or coverage part. while multiple coverage bureaucracy are packaged into a
unmarried policy, the declarations will kingdom as a lot, and then there may be extra
declarations particular to every coverage form. historically, policy bureaucracy have been so
rigidly standardized that they have got no clean spaces to be stuffed in. as a substitute, they
continually expressly talk over with terms or amounts said in the declarations. if the policy
5. needs to be custom designed past what is possible with the declarations, then the
underwriter attaches endorsements or riders.
endorsements – extra forms connected to the coverage that adjust it in a few manner, both
unconditionally or upon the lifestyles of a few circumstance. endorsements can make rules
difficult to examine for nonlawyers; they will revise, amplify, or delete clauses located many
pages in advance in one or more coverage paperwork, or maybe modify every other. due to
the fact it is very risky to permit nonlawyer underwriters to at once rewrite policy
bureaucracy with word processors, insurers generally direct underwriters to adjust them by
attaching endorsements preapproved via suggesting for various not unusual modifications.
riders – a rider is used to carry the phrases of policy modification and the amendment
thereby will become part of the policy. riders are dated and numbered in the order that
both insurer and policyholder can decide provisions and the benefit stage. commonplace
riders to institution scientific plans contain name changes, exchange to eligible lessons of
employees, trade-in a degree of blessings, or the addition of a controlled care association
which include a health renovation company or favored issuer organization (PPO).
jackets – the time period has several distinct and puzzling meanings. in general, it refers to a
few sets of standard boilerplate provisions which accompanies all policies at the time of
delivery. a few insurers refer to a package deal of well-known files shared throughout a
whole family of policies as a “jacket.” some insurers enlarge this to consist of coverage
bureaucracy, in order that the simplest components of the coverage no longer a part of the
jacket are the declarations, endorsements, and riders. other insurers use the term “jacket” in
a manner closer to its normal that means a binder, envelope, or presentation folder with
pockets in which the coverage may be delivered, or a cover sheet to which the policy
bureaucracy are stapled or that is stapled on the pinnacle of the coverage. the standard
boilerplate provisions are then imprinted on the jacket itself.
enterprise fashionable forms
in u.s.a., property and casualty insurers typically use similar or even equal language in their
trendy coverage guidelines, which are drafted with the aid of advisory agencies such as the
insurance services office and the Yankee association of coverage services. this reduces the
regulatory burden for insurers as coverage paperwork should be permitted by using states;
it also lets in customers to greater readily evaluate regulations, albeit on the cost of
purchaser choice.in addition, as coverage forms are reviewed by means of courts, the
interpretations emerge as extra predictable as courts intricate upon the translation of the
6. same clauses inside the identical policy bureaucracy, as opposed to one of a kind
regulations from extraordinary insurers.
in current years, but, insurers have an increasing number of modified the standard
bureaucracy in enterprise-unique approaches or declined to adopt modifications to
conventional paperwork. as an instance, a evaluate of home insurance regulations found
good-sized differences in numerous provisions. in some regions along with administrators
and officials liability insurance and personal umbrella insurance, there is little enterprise-
wide standardization.
manuscript policies and endorsements
for the significant majority of coverage rules, the only page this is closely custom-written to
the insured’s needs is the declarations page. all other pages are widespread paperwork that
refers again to phrases defined within the declarations as wished. but, sure kinds of
coverage, along with media coverage, are written as manuscript regulations, that are both
custom-drafted from scratch or written from a mix of trendy and nonstandard for by means
of analogy, policy endorsements which are not written on widespread paperwork or whose
language is custom-written to healthy the insured’s particular occasions are referred to as
manuscript endorsements.
