korvausrajan

Korvausrajan is a Finnish term that translates to "compensation limit" or "indemnity limit" in English. It refers to a predetermined maximum amount that an insurer or a party providing compensation will pay out for a specific loss or claim. This limit is established in an insurance policy or a contractual agreement and serves to define the extent of financial responsibility.

The concept of a korvausrajan is crucial in various forms of insurance, including property, liability, and health insurance. For example, a property insurance policy might have a korvausrajan for damage caused by fire, meaning the insurer will not pay more than this specified amount, regardless of the actual repair costs. Similarly, in liability insurance, the korvausrajan dictates the maximum sum the insurer will pay to a third party injured due to the insured's negligence.

Understanding the korvausrajan is vital for policyholders and contracting parties. It influences the premiums paid and the level of protection offered. Exceeding the korvausrajan means the insured or the claimant would be responsible for the remaining costs. Therefore, policyholders are advised to ensure that their chosen korvausrajan adequately reflects the potential value of the insured property or the potential extent of their liabilities to avoid unexpected financial burdens.
