Insurable value

Insurable value is the actual value of the subject matter insured. According to China's Insurance Law, if the insured and the insurer have an agreement on the insured value of the subject matter insured and specify it in the contract, when the subject matter insured suffers losses, the agreed insured value shall be taken as the compensation calculation standard.

If the insured and the insurer have not agreed on the insured value of the subject matter insured, when the subject matter insured suffers losses, the actual value of the subject matter insured at the time of the insured accident shall be taken as the compensation calculation standard.

Simply put, the insured value can be determined by three methods:

1, according to the provisions of the law and contract law, the law and contract law are the fundamental basis for determining the insurance value;

2. According to the insurance contract and the agreement of both parties. It is difficult to measure the insurance value of some insurance objects, such as life insurance and health insurance. If people's health and life cannot be measured by money, the insurance value shall be agreed by both parties.

3. Determine the insurance value according to the change of market price. The insured value of some insurance objects is not always constant. Most of the subject matter will also depreciate with the passage of time, and its insurance value will show a downward trend.
