Summary |
This book combines an analysis of the principles and practices of insurance into a workable guide for the college or university student of insurance, the businessman, and the insurance-buying public. Throughout the text the emphasis is on the underlying principles of insurance, and a number of chapters are devoted exclusively to these principles. Specific lines of insurance are discussed in detail to enable the reader to understand all important aspects of the coverages. No attempt has been made, however, to include a complete description of every type of policy currently available.
The book is divided into six parts. Part I deals with the basic principles that are fundamental to an understanding of specific insurance coverages. Part II is devoted to legal principles, common policy provisions, and insurance company practices and procedures.
Part III covers the fields of fire, ocean marine, and inland marine insurance. Part IV covers casualty insurance and suretyship. Part V investigates the various aspects of life insurance.
Part VI takes up the various types of insurance companies and how the conduct their operations.
