Understanding how insurance contracts work can be very beneficial when you are deciding if you need a lawyer after a car crash or other serious personal injury. There are seven basic principles applicable to insurance contracts relevant to personal injury and car accident cases:

  1. Utmost Good Faith
  2. Insurable Interest
  3. Proximate Cause
  4. Indemnity
  5. Subrogation
  6. Contribution
  7. Loss Minimization

Below we explain each item briefly, including how each may relate to a potential injury lawsuit. These principles are open to interpretation. If you think one of these principles has been breached, or your insurance claim has wrongfully been denied, we recommend using our free case evaluation to help decide whether hiring a lawyer makes sense for you.
