Policy language can make a huge difference.
Policy language is the starting point for any coverage analysis. Even the placement of a comma can be important. The general construction of a policy grants coverage which can be construed broadly, and exclusions must be strictly construed. This video reviews basic insurance principles for reading and understanding your insurance policy, including contra proferentum.
