Insured Event

Insured Event

Any event that would cause an insurer to pay a claim. For example, in car insurance, an insured event may be a car accident because it would cause the insurance company to compensate the policyholder for property damage and/or medical bills. Insurance companies base their premiums on the likelihood that an insured event may happen. For example, a younger driver may pay a higher premium than an adult because younger drivers may be statistically more likely to cause an accident.
