Insurance law governs the legal framework between insurers and the insured. At Diamond Advocates, we provide expert legal support to individuals, businesses, and insurance companies in matters relating to insurance policies, claims, coverage disputes, and regulatory compliance. We help clients understand their rights, resolve disputes, and navigate claims, whether you’re filing one, defending against one, or addressing non-payment or delays.
Principles
The principles of insurance are the foundational rules that govern the relationship between the insurer and the insured. These include utmost good faith, which requires both parties to disclose all relevant information truthfully; insurable interest, meaning the insured must have a financial or legal stake in the subject matter of the insurance; and indemnity, which ensures the insured is compensated fairly, without profit, for actual loss suffered. Other key principles include subrogation, allowing the insurer to recover costs from third parties after paying a claim; contribution, which applies when multiple policies cover the same risk; and proximate cause, which determines the primary cause of loss in assessing liability. Together, these principles ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability in insurance transactions.
