Some little known but important features of the insurance contract
Everyone concludes at least one insurance contract in their lifetime – to protect their home, car, or life, or to ensure coverage of health expenses when traveling abroad. Most people are familiar with the main characteristics of the insurance contract – it is concluded in writing, most often in the form of an insurance policy, the general terms and conditions of the insurer apply to it, the policyholder has obligations to declare certain circumstances (the so called circumstances affecting the risk) and to pay a premium. In their turn, the insurer has one main obligation – to pay indemnity upon occurrence.
