Perils
Akopọ
Ask a shopkeeper what her fire policy covers and she will say fire. Ask her whether it pays when the fire brigade floods her stock with water to put out a blaze next door, and she will hesitate. The answer turns on a single word that runs through every claim ever settled: the peril, the actual cause of the loss, and whether the policy names it as covered, says nothing about it, or shuts it out.
In this lesson you will learn exactly what a peril is and how it differs from a risk and a hazard, meet the three families of peril that decide every claim (insured, uninsured and excepted), and master the doctrine of proximate cause, the rule that examiners use to ask whether a given loss is payable. Get the peril right and you can predict the insurer's answer before the claims officer opens the file.
