Glossary of insurance terms

When insurance lingo gets lost in translation, let us break it down for you.

Every policy — and every insurance company — is unique, and we can only speak for ourselves.

This glossary is intended to provide general information only and is not a statement of coverage. The specific terms of your policy will always apply. Have a question about the terms in your own policy? Reach out to your broker for the nitty-gritty details.
