What is usually included in the declarations section of an insurance policy?
Most people would rather go to the dentist than try to read an insurance policy. Like most things that seem intimidating at first, though, when you break it down, it makes a lot more sense. We’ll tell you how to understand an insurance policy. Show There are four basic parts of an insurance policy:
Insuring agreement: This section summarizes the insurer’s agreement to pay covered claims. If you’re wondering which part of your property insurance policy will describe the perils, you’ve found the right place. For a property policy, the insuring agreement will state the property covered and types of perils, or causes of loss, the policy covers. In a liability policy, the insuring agreement describes the types of activities covered. For a commercial general liability policy, the insurer agrees to any money the insured is legally obligated to pay for bodily injury or property damage claims covered by the policy. The insurer also agrees to provide the insured’s legal defense for liability claims that might be covered by the policy.
Exclusions: Exclusions limit your coverage by stating the types of activities or losses the policy will not cover.
Conditions: The conditions describe the obligations of each party to the contract. Conditions can appear in the basic policy, the standard form and (if you have them) in your policy endorsements. Conditions include the policy’s cancellation provision. They also describe how the insurer will proceed if other coverage applies to a loss, and reserve the insurer’s right to subrogate a claim, or seek recovery from another party after it has paid a claim on your behalf. The conditions also outline your obligations to the insurer. They spell out when and how you must notify the insurer of an accident or claim that might be covered by a liability policy, your obligation to protect covered property after a loss, and your obligation to cooperate during the company’s investigation or defense of a liability lawsuit.
