 Explanation of different Insurance Concepts

(a) Non-indemnity insurance; is in the case where the insurance company cannot restore the person insured to his former position before the occurrence of the risk e.g. life assurance - no restoration of life after death or loss of limb in the case of personal accident insurance. What the insurance does is to pay compensation not restoration.

(b) Group insurance : The is the insurance where employers insure the lives of all or a group of their employees collectively under one policy. It is usually taken out for athletes, players on an outing engagement or factory workers. Any member suffering any loss is covered by the group policy.

If a house worth ten million naira (N1000000) insured for five million naira (N5000000) is gutted by fire, the insurance company would only pay N5000000. it prevents the insurance company from charging adequate premium. it is subject to average condition where the insured is responsible for the under insured value.
