What is the purpose of the Other Insurance Agreement?

To clarify how multiple policies affect claims
To deny coverage for similar risks
To determine the amount of premium owed
To exclude certain types of coverage

The correct answer is: To clarify how multiple policies affect claims

The purpose of the Other Insurance Agreement is to clarify how multiple insurance policies will interact with each other when a claim occurs. When an insured has more than one policy covering the same risk, this agreement outlines the obligations of each insurer and how the claim will be settled between them. This helps ensure that the insured does not receive more than the actual loss through overlapping coverages while also preventing unfair treatment by one insurer against another. In situations where multiple policies apply, this agreement illustrates how the total payout will be coordinated, which could involve prorating the amounts based on each policy's limits or specifying which policy is primary and which ones are excess. Such provisions are crucial to prevent confusion and ensure a smoother claim process for the policyholder.
