Book Transparency in Insurance Contract Law

Download or read book Transparency in Insurance Contract Law written by Pierpaolo Marano and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Volume of the AIDA Europe Research Series on Insurance Law and Regulation focuses on transparency as the guiding principle of modern insurance law. It consists of chapters written by leaders in the respective field, who address transparency in a range of civil and common law jurisdictions, along with overview chapters. Each chapter reviews the transparency principles applicable in the jurisdiction discussed. Whether expressly or impliedly, all jurisdictions recognize a duty on the part of the insured to make a fair presentation of the risk when submitting a proposal for cover to the insurers, although there is little consensus on the scope of that duty. Disputed matters in this regard include: whether it is satisfied by honest answers to express questions, or whether there is a spontaneous duty of disclosure; whether facts relating to the insured’s character, as opposed to the nature of the risk itself, are to be presented to the insurers; the role of insurance intermediaries in the placement process; and the remedy for breach of duty. Transparency is, however, a much wider concept. Potential policyholders are in principle entitled to be made aware of the key terms of coverage and to be warned of hidden traps (such as conditions precedent, average clauses and excess provisions), but there are a range of different approaches. Some jurisdictions have adopted a “soft law” approach, using codes of practice for pre-contract disclosure, while other jurisdictions employ the rather nebulous duty of (utmost) good faith. Leaving aside placement, transparency is also demanded after the policy has been incepted. The insured is required to be transparent during the claims process. There is less consistency in national legislation regarding the implementation of transparency by insurers in the context of handling claims.

Book Delay  Deny  Defend

Download or read book Delay Deny Defend written by Jay M. Feinman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expose of insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight it Over the last two decades, insurance has become less of a safety net and more of a spider's web: sticky and complicated, designed to ensnare as much as to aid. Insurance companies now often try to delay payment of justified claims, deny payment altogether, and defend these actions by forcing claimants to enter litigation. Jay M. Feinman, a legal scholar and insurance expert, explains how these trends developed, how the government ought to fix the system, and what the rest of us can do to protect ourselves. He shows that the denial of valid claims is not occasional or accidental or the fault of a few bad employees. It's the result of an increasing and systematic focus on maximizing profits by major companies such as Allstate and State Farm. Citing dozens of stories of victims who were unfairly denied payment, Feinman explains how people can be more cautious when shopping for policies and what to do when pursuing a disputed claim. He also lays out a plan for the legal reforms needed to prevent future abuses. This exposé will help drive the discussion of this increasingly hot- button issue.

Book Consumer Insurance Law

Download or read book Consumer Insurance Law written by Great Britain. Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This joint report recommends clarification of the law about the information which a consumer should tell an insurer when taking out a policy. It includes draft legislation to replace the current law which is more than 100 years old and was designed for ship owners insuring large vessels rather than today's consumer insurance market. Under that statute, insurers can refuse to pay out if a policyholder failed to disclose any relevant information, even if the consumer answered all questions that were asked honestly and reasonably. The draft Bill appended to the report will clarify a raft of existing rules and guidance employed by insurers, the Financial Services Authority and the Financial Ombudsman Service. Under the recommendations: insurers must ask questions about any matter which they wish to know in order to assess the risk being insured; consumers who take reasonable care to answer insurers' questions fully and accurately can expect to have any subsequent claims paid in full; if a consumer makes a careless mistake when answering a question, he or she might still be entitled to have some of the claim paid. The Commissions' recommendations follow a detailed consultation exercise - started with a discussion paper "Insurance contract law" (2007, LCCP 182/SLCDP 134, ISBN 9780117037823) - which found widespread support for the proposed changes from major insurers, insurance brokers and lawyers as well as consumer groups.

Book A Practical Guide to the Insurance Act 2015

Download or read book A Practical Guide to the Insurance Act 2015 written by David Kendall and published by Informa Law from Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Insurance Act 2015 ('the Act') is the first comprehensive statutory reform of the insurance law of the United Kingdom since the Marine Insurance Act 1906. It introduces thorough and, in some cases, fairly drastic reform of some of the core tenets of UK insurance law, including: the insured's pre-contractual duty to the insurer, and remedies for its breach; the knowledge of the insured and the insurer for the purposes of the pre-contractual duty; the effect of insurance warranties and other terms tending to reduce the risk of loss; fraudulent claims; and damages for failure to pay an insurance claim in a reasonable time. This book is a thorough introduction to the Act. It focuses primarily on the impact of the Act on English law as applied to non-consumer insurance and reinsurance. Of assistance not only to insurance lawyers and members of the judiciary, but also underwriters, claims handlers, brokers and buyers of non-consumer insurance policies, this book covers each of the core changes brought about by the Act. It also analyses the particular ways in which the Act differs from existing law, by reference to the Marine Insurance Act 1906, and cases decided under the old law.
