You have really tried. The ones I will add are very common and I am sure you only didn't want to include them because they are basic or you forgot. Premium is the money paid to insurance companies, insured person is the one under insurance policy. A broker is someone that's an intermediary between the companies and the insured person.

Yesh you got it right I knew people are already used to the ones you have mentioned so I needed some new terms that people can also learn about them. There are still other ones though that are not readily used that we need to still learn about. It is of essence to know about them

Well these insurance terms you just mentioned up there are quite important but not necessarily because these are very much included in the policy of any plan the client or individual buys. If you ask me, I will say it plays some major roles but I believe the broker will enlighten one more about them

definitely it is very important for people to understand this insurance times very well before going into any insurance policy or agreement. I have seen cases of arson, in movies definitely but it really happens. people usually do this to get compensation from the insurance companies when they perceive that their properties is not really worth it again.
