property or activity to be insured

loss during which no benefits are paid (common in disability insurance and
business interruption claim coverage)
- coinsurance in property insurance - -Encourages the insured to insure the
property to a stated percentage of its insurable value. If the coinsurance
requirement is not met at the time of loss, the insured must share in the loss
as a coinsurer
- what is the formula for amount of recovery - -(amount carried/amount
required) x loss = amount of recovery
- coinsurance in health - -provision that requires the insured to pay a
