Understanding Your Insurance Policy

Here is an excerpt from a new blog post at GreggMarcus.com:

An insurance policy is a legally binding contract between an insurance company (the insurer) and either a person or business (the insured). Reading your policy helps you to confirm whether or not the policy meets your needs and also to clarify what the responsibilities of you and the insurance company are, especially when a loss occurs. Many individuals who take on a new insurance policy fail to carefully read what they are signing into and inadvertently pass over any exclusions or conditions that may affect them greatly. In this blog post, Gregg S. Marcus, a Long Island Insurance Executive explains what to look for when you are reviewing your insurance policy.

The four basic sections found in almost all insurance contracts are:

1. Declaration Page
2. Insuring Agreement
3. Exclusions
4. Conditions

The declaration page is the first part of any insurance contract, this section declares who is an insured, what risks or properties are covered, the policy limits, and the amount of time the policy is in effect.
