The comprehensive general liability (CGL) policy protects the insured from liability to third parties for personal injury and property damage caused by the insured. However, there are various exclusions from coverage in the standard CGL policy, including Exclusion C for liquor liability.
Subrogation is an equitable right to seek recovery of losses paid by the plaintiff for another in an action against the party that caused the losses. In insurance law, subrogation refers to the right of the insurer to seek compensation for its payments to its insured by filing an action against the person that caused the damages to the insured.
Health insurance can be organized into three categories. They are disability income insurance, medical cost insurance, and accidental injury or death insurance.
Insurance policies are contracts drafted by insurers, but the terms are not always clear and unambiguous. When a dispute arises between an insured and an insurer as to the meaning of a policy, courts sometimes become involved to provide a construction of the ambiguous term, as they do with other types of contracts. Disputes usually involve which risks are included in coverage, exclusions from coverage, conditions that must be fulfilled before coverage applies, and forfeitures of the policy.
If an insured sustains a loss and is denied payment by an insurer under an insurance policy, he may bring an action against the insurer to recover his claimed loss. The insured's complaint may state his cause of action generally and in brief and simple language. Some statutes provide optional methods of pleading. Courts may construe the averments of the complaint liberally. Matters not pleaded are generally waived.
