Answer Details
The principle of insurance that restores the insured to the position he occupied immediately before the loss occurred is known as indemnity. In other words, indemnity is a principle of insurance which ensures that the insured person receives compensation equal to the amount of the loss suffered by him/her, and nothing more. The purpose of this principle is to ensure that the insured person is not put in a better position than he was in before the loss occurred, nor is he put in a worse position. Instead, the insurer provides compensation to the insured which is sufficient to restore the insured to the financial position he was in immediately before the loss occurred.
