GLOSSARY OF INSURANCE TERMS - click link to lookup insurance terms and definitions from A to Z.  This glossary is provided by IRMI Risk & Insurance.

Insurance policies contain terms (words and phrases) with meanings that are specifically defined within that policy under a section called “Definitions”. Defined terms when used within a policy are denoted within “quotation marks” or shown in italicized bold print.  Definitions may differ among various policies, insurance companies and states. You must read your own specific policy to obtain the meaning of a defined term. Other words, terms and phrases within an insurance policy that are not specifically defined will take their meaning from legal or ordinary definitions in common use and interpreted from context.
