meeverzekerden

Meeverzekerden is a Dutch term used in the context of insurance to refer to individuals who are insured under the same policy alongside the primary insured. The term combines a prefix meaning together with and the verb to insure, and is commonly encountered in Dutch insurance documents. In practice, meeverzekerden can be named in the policy or included as a class of covered persons.

The exact rights and obligations of meeverzekerden depend on the specific contract and applicable law. They typically share protection under the policy for covered risks, subject to the policy’s limits, deductibles, and exclusions. In many cases, meeverzekerden do not hold independent rights to modify or cancel the policy unless the contract grants such authority, and changes affecting all insured parties often require the insurer’s consent.

The term is most commonly found in Dutch insurance products such as household, travel, or life policies, where spouses, family members, or partners may be covered under a single policy. Not all policies use the term; some instead refer to co-insured, additional insured, or insured under the policy. The precise status of a meeverzekerde can vary between products and jurisdictions, so policy documents should be consulted to understand specific rights and obligations.
