(i) Indemnity: The insured would be compensated in such a way that he/ she is put back to the financial position he/she she was just before the risk insured took place.

(ii) Subrogation: Whatever remains after the insured has been compensated becomes the property of the insurer.

(iii) Utmost good faith: The person taking out insurance cover should disclose all the relevant information/ facts relating to the property or person insured.

(iv) Proximate cause: For the insured to be compensated there must be a very close relationship between the loss suffered and the risk insured against.

(v) Contribution: If the insured has taken policies with more than one insurance company covering the same risk, in the event of loss the insurers contribute proportionately to indemnify the insured.
