Not for insurance practioners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dictionary of Insurance Terms (Business dictionaries) (Vinyl Bound)
I was looking for an introductory guide to the London Insurance Market and this wasn't it. If you are a member of the public that requires explanation of your insurance policy then this may be for you, but be mindful that it is written from an American perspective. As a new recruit to a Lloyds syndicate I needed to become acquainted with all the terminology used within the market in order to understand slips and conmmunicate with underwriters. I have now bought the FT insurance dictionary instead because it covers what I need.

Slightly incomplete,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dictionary of Insurance Terms (Business dictionaries) (Vinyl Bound)
For general knowledge of insurance terms I guess this is an adequate dictionary and nevertheless needed for understanding insurance terms. I find however that being IN the insurance business as a newcomer and needing to have all my insurance words defined, this dictionary lacks many terms used, at least on the Life insurance side of it, so leaves me grasping for other sources and references to find these words which should be defined in this dictionary in the first place.

Thick Junk,
By Bryan D Lewis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dictionary of Insurance Terms (Business dictionaries) (Vinyl Bound)
I have been in the insurance industry 15 years and just decided to buy this as an addition for my work desk. I rarely open the book, however, anytime I go to look up a coverage definition it is not listed. This book is of NO use to me. Not really sure who would use this.............a person who hands out maps at the Auto Club who may need to look up a word or two?

Excellent reference book,
By H Craig - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dictionary of Insurance Terms (Business dictionaries) (Vinyl Bound)
This is an American based book but covers every imaginable insurance term, in every sector of the finance/insurance industry. It not only provides definitions of terms but broadley defines the cover provided under different types of insurance. This is a must for any professional in the financial services/insurance industry as a great reference.
