Insurance and law share an intimate relationship — and there are many ways to look at it. But there's a single overarching practice that governs how the insurance industry operates: insurance law.
According to HG.org, insurance law can be broken into three categories: the business of insurance, the content of insurance policies, and the handling of claims, and it concerns insurance policies, insurance claims, insurance regulations, and rates, as well as recently enacted laws.
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, legal issues have emerged that may have severe implications for the insurance industry, depending on how legislation or courts respond. The most prominent example is, of course, business interruption.
