Vakuutusasiakirja

Vakuutusasiakirja is a Finnish term that translates to "insurance document" or "insurance policy" in English. It is the official written agreement between an insurance provider and the policyholder. This document outlines the terms and conditions of the insurance contract, detailing the coverage provided, the responsibilities of both parties, and the duration of the policy.

The vakuutusasiakirja serves as crucial legal evidence of the insurance agreement. It specifies the insured risk, such as property, health, or liability, and the compensation that will be paid in the event of a covered loss or event. It also clearly states any exclusions, deductibles, premiums, and the payment schedule. The policyholder receives this document after purchasing an insurance policy, and it is essential to read and understand its contents thoroughly.

Key elements typically found in a vakuutusasiakirja include the names and contact information of the insurer and insured, the policy number, the effective date and expiry date, a description of the insured item or person, the sum insured, and the premium amount. In cases of claims, the vakuutusasiakirja is the primary reference for determining the validity of the claim and the amount of compensation. It is advisable for policyholders to keep their vakuutusasiakirja in a safe and accessible place.
