Occurrence wording Technical Terms
Occurrence wording: A term used in liability insurance. It refers to a policy under which the circumstances giving rise to a claim must occur during the period of insurance. Claims under such a contract may arise many years after the occurrence of an event and this created problems for insurers both in terms of rating adequacy and claims reserving. These problems gave rise to the development of “claims made” wordings, under which claims must be made against the insured during the period of insurance in order for the insurer to provide an indemnity.
