Insurance policies are contracts. To form a contract, an insurer must make an offer that is accepted by a potential insured who then pays consideration – premiums – for the promises made by the insurer. Insurance contracts, like all contracts, can only exist if there is an offer, acceptance of the offer and payment of consideration.
An insurance contract exists when an insurer and the insured agrees that the insurer will provide indemnity to the insured as a result of a contingent or unknown event that causes loss to the insured.

The language of insurance contracts come in multiple formats with an almost infinite variety of terms and conditions. I personally have collected, over the last 54 years about 17 linear feet of multiple insurance forms created by the Insurance Services Office (“ISO”), Standard, and individual insurance company specialty forms. In addition, since the advent of the Internet I have collected gigabytes of insurance policy forms as paper has given way to digital insurance policy wording.

tor for insurance related disputes. He practiced law in California for more than 44 years as an insurance coverage and claims handling lawyer and more than 54 years in the insurance business.
