Passage 15

One million motorists insured with General Accident should now understand exactly what cover their motor insurance provides ---and, possibly more important, what it does not provide. The company this week revealed its new-style motor insurance policy written in plain English, with an accompanying explanatory text. This is the first time the exercise has been tried and if it proves a marketing success, it could predict the start of a new trend.
Most motorists do not understand their insurance policy and make no attempt to do so. They only find out the hard way when they claim after an accident or a theft and find that certain risks are not covered. Then the trouble starts. The office of Fair Trading and The Consumers Association point out that many complaints arise because consumers have not understood their policies.
The insurance industry has been urged by these bodies to make policies understandable to the man-in-the-street and to cut out difficult words. The industry has done much in this direction to make the explanatory leaflets and booklets understandable, a move for which it has not received much credit. But up to now, companies have avoided re-writing the insurance policy.
This is because the policy is a legal document that has to stand up in court if there is in the event of a dispute. The combination of lawyers and insurance men has been double effective in producing a document that loses the layman after the first line or so.
