dallassicurato

Dall'assicurato is a term used in Italian insurance language to indicate information, evidence, or actions that originate from the insured party under an insurance contract. The form is a prepositional phrase (da + l'assicurato) and is commonly seen in policy documents, claims forms, and declarations.

Etymology and usage

The expression comes from the combination of da (from) and l'assicurato (the insured). In written Italian, it is standard to insert the apostrophe after da and l’, yielding dall’assicurato. It is typically used to attribute a given item to the insured, as in phrases such as documentazione fornita dall’assicurato or dichiarazioni dall’assicurato.

Role in insurance contracts

The phrase serves to distinguish the source of information or action. In practice, documents labeled with dall’assicurato often refer to materials supplied by the policyholder, such as statements, records, or evidence used to assess a claim, determine coverage, or investigate a risk. Insurers rely on such inputs but may assess their accuracy and completeness; misrepresentation or nondisclosure by the insured can affect coverage and, in many jurisdictions, may void a policy or lead to claims being denied.

Variations and notes

A closely related form is dell’assicurato, meaning "of the insured," used to describe attributes or responsibilities pertaining to the insured. While dall’assicurato refers to items supplied by the insured, other sources described as dall’assicurato may be contrasted with information from the insurer or third parties. The term is a routine, non-technical part of contractual language rather than a separate legal concept.
