insulates too much | By creating
a "security blanket" for its insureds, an insurance company may inadvertently
find that its insureds may not be as risk-averse as they might otherwise be (since,
by definition, the insured has transferred the risk to the insurer). This problem
is known to the insurance industry as moral hazard. To reduce their own financial
exposure, insurance companies have contractual clauses that mitigate their obligation
to provide coverage if the insured engages in behavior that grossly magnifies
their risk of loss or liability. For example, life insurance companies may
require higher premiums or deny coverage altogether to people who work in hazardous
occupations or engage in dangerous sports. Liability insurance providers do not
provide coverage for liability arising from intentional torts committed by the
insured. Even if a provider were so irrational as to desire to provide such coverage,
it is against the public policy of most countries to allow such insurance to exist,
and thus it is usually illegal. Reference: www.wikipedia.org
