@casedigestph: Case File 057 A construction supply business insured its stock against fire with three different companies. When the stock burned, all three refused to pay, pointing to a clause that required any other insurance to be declared and written into the policy. The owner argued that the agents he dealt with had known about the other coverage all along, which raised a question: could their knowledge count as notice to the insurance companies? New Life Enterprises can be a reference for understanding how an “other insurance” clause works in a fire policy, and why an agent’s knowledge may not always satisfy what the policy requires from the insured. 📖 New Life Enterprises v. Court of Appeals | G.R. No. 94071 | March 31, 1992 ⚖️ Associate Justice Florenz D. Regalado 🏷️ Insurance Law • Fire Insurance 🗳️ Second Division · All 3 who took part concurred · Paras and Padilla took no part --- DISCLAIMER: The illustrations do not show the actual appearance of any person, product or place.

pro-rating among 3 insurers is a good call I think? or at the very least reimburse the premiums made kasi dapat tine train din ng mga companies ung agents nila to be as truthful as it should be.

The goal of the policy is to reinstate the policy against financial loss due to perils and the requirement to declare co insurance is a guardrail against abuse. The motive of the policy owner is unjust enrichment as he expect that the stock worth Php 1.00 will be reinstated 3x.

That’s why you have to read the fine print.

📌 There were four policies across three companies: ₱350,000 from Western; ₱300,000 and ₱700,000 from Reliance; and ₱200,000 from Equitable. Altogether, that was ₱1.55 million in coverage in 1982 — roughly ₱25 to ₱30 million in today’s money.

📌 From the admin: Always read the fine print of your insurance policies. Something that can be helpful: if you have a soft copy, run it through an AI tool (e.g. ChatGPT) and ask it to summarize or point out the important parts. Just make sure to still double-check them in the actual policy!

Insuring the same property with three different policies is invalid due to the principle of indemnity in insurance. You cannot legally recover more than the property is actually worth. Having three policies suggests a clear intent to obtain three times the actual property value, which insurance companies will reject as fraud.

not to be the bad guy here, but insuring a store in 3 different insurance companies is already a sus.
