Understanding Claims-Made Versus Occurrence Policies
When researching insurance options, it’s common to encounter unfamiliar terms, like "claims-made policies" and "occurrence policies." According to the Texas Department of Insurance, an Occurrence Policy pays for claims made from incidents that occur while the policy is in force. Payment may occur whether the claim is submitted during the policy’s expiration date or after the policy is discontinued.
The same source reports that a claims-made policy covers injuries or damage incurred and submitted during the policy’s term. Clients who submit claims outside that period may be eligible for coverage under special circumstances. These special circumstances include claims made for injuries incurred before the policy started (but submitted during the policy’s term). Clients may also be eligible for coverage for injuries incurred during the policy term but whose claim submission was inadvertently delayed.
