The following are terms that you may find on your Declarations Page:
- Named Insured: This is the individual or business that is identified as the insured party.
- Additional Insured: This is someone listed on your policy because certain coverages on the policy can be afforded to them. For instance, if you lease a car, the leasing company may require to be listed as an additional insured. The leasing company is still the owner of the car; therefore, they can be held accountable for damages caused by the car. Being listed as an additional insured on your policy will trigger your policy to afford some coverage to the leasing company in the event they are subjected to a suit involving the car.
- Endorsements: There can be situations where changes need to be made to the standard policy language. Instead of rewriting the entire policy, the insurance company includes endorsements to the policy. They are basically adjustments made to the insurance contract that can change the coverage or terms of the policy. Your Declarations Page will list which endorsements apply to your policy.
