Sample questions & answers
1. An insurance policy is called a contract of adhesion because:
The insurer drafts it; the buyer accepts it as is
In a contract of adhesion, one party (the insurer) writes the terms and the other party must accept or reject them as written.
2. Insurance contracts are described as aleatory because:
The amounts exchanged may be unequal
An aleatory contract involves an exchange of unequal amounts; a small premium may yield a large benefit, or none, depending on chance.
3. The principle of utmost good faith in insurance requires:
Both parties to deal honestly
Utmost good faith obligates both the insurer and the insured to act honestly and disclose all material facts.
4. A statement made by an applicant that is believed to be true to the best of their knowledge is a:
