Personal liability
Dual insurance
If you have more than one insurance policy in place that covers you for liability for the same event, the full amount of the claim will be split proportionally between the different policies.
○ The cover you have under each policy will determine how we split the claim amount.
○ If you claim from us, you may not also claim from the other insurer, and if you claim from the other insurer, you
may not also claim from us.
○ If you claim from us, we may settle your claim in one of the following ways:
– We may pay the full claim amount to you and recover from the other insurer the part of the claim which they are responsible for.
– We may pay only our part of the claim to you and arrange with the other insurer to pay their part of the claim directly to you.
○ Whichever option we decide on, we will pay back the part of the premiums received which relates to the other insurer’s part of the claim, but only in respect of premiums received for three years prior to the date of the claim.
○ It is the other insurer’s responsibility to refund premiums you paid to them relating to our portion of the claim, and you will have to contact the other insurer directly for a refund.
