INSURANCE

A contract of insurance is a contract having for its object the indemnification against loss, or the payment of a lump sum upon the happening of a certain event. The principal forms of insurance are life, fire and marine. Almost any risk may be the subject of a contract of insurance. For example, accidents, employer’s liability and burglary.
The parties to a contract of insurance are the insurer and the insured. Insurers are people taking the risk, and agreeing to indemnify or pay a lump sum down on the happening of a particular event. If there are no claims they make a profit. If there are a large number of claims they make a loss. And the insured is the person paying the premium for the consideration of the contract. The insurance premium is rate payable for an insurance policy. The instrument being evidence of this contract is an insurance policy.
When a company or a person, takes out an insurance policy it is very often an all - risks policy, that is, it insure the goods or property against almost anything that could happen. When an accident or robbery takes place the injured party puts in a claim to the insurance company. If the insurance company agrees to pay it is said to meet the claim.
For the contract of insurance to be valid it’s necessary for the insured to show that he has an insurable interest in the thing insured. It means, that only those personas can enter the contract of insurance who stand in a legal relationship to the insured thing, for example, the owner, the mortgagee. Sometimes the insurer (or the insurance company) can disclaim all liability. It means that it refuses to be responsible, because of a false claim and they therefore disclaim all liability, they refuse to pay the claim and render the policy void.
There are some other persons who take part in insurance. They are insurance brokers or agents, adjusters, actuary.
Insurance brokers are people who act as agents between the client and the insurance company negotiating a contract.
Adjusters are usually independent firms who assess the damage to property, etc.
Actuary is a professional expert who works out the average expectation of life, on which life insurance premiums are based.
