reasonable-expectation doctrine

Read a random definition: scope-of-work clause

A quick definition of reasonable-expectation doctrine:

The reasonable-expectation doctrine is a rule in insurance that helps resolve any confusion or uncertainty in an insurance policy in favor of the insured's reasonable expectations. This means that if there is any ambiguity in the policy, it will be interpreted in a way that is most beneficial to the person who has taken out the insurance. Essentially, this doctrine ensures that insurance companies cannot take advantage of their customers by using confusing language or hidden clauses in their policies.

A more thorough explanation:

The reasonable-expectation doctrine is a rule in insurance that favors the insured's reasonable expectations when resolving an ambiguity in an insurance policy.

For example, if an insurance policy has an ambiguous clause that could be interpreted in different ways, the reasonable-expectation doctrine would interpret the clause in a way that aligns with what the insured would reasonably expect from the policy.

Another example could be if an insured purchases a policy that they believe covers a certain type of damage, but the policy language is unclear. The reasonable-expectation doctrine would interpret the policy in a way that provides coverage for the damage the insured reasonably expected to be covered.

The reasonable-expectation doctrine is important because it protects the insured from unfair interpretations of insurance policies and ensures that they receive the coverage they paid for.
