Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following describes "indemnity" in insurance terms?

The obligation to restore the insured to the same financial position as before the loss

Indemnity in insurance terms refers to the obligation of the insurance company to restore the insured to the same financial position as they were in before the loss occurred. This means that the insurance company will cover the costs of the damages or losses incurred by the insured, up to the policy limit. Option B is incorrect because paying fines and penalties is not a typical responsibility of an insurance company. Option C is incorrect because indemnity does not involve reducing the liability of the insurer, but rather it is the insurer's responsibility to cover the losses of the insured. Option D is incorrect because underwriting a new policy is a separate process from indemnity.
