One employee's widow completed the claim papers and, in error, indicated that her husband had been a part-time employee. The error was not detected by the employer's personnel staff, who forwarded the form to the carrier. The carrier's claim examiner contacted the employer-not the agent. He wanted payroll records and other data to support everyone's statements that the late employee was in fact full-time, since part-time employees were not covered by the plan. The employer's president wrote a firm, succinct letter to the carrier: A.B. was employed here ... 30 years, all of them full-time. He was our vice-president. He had no other job.

A careful review of the policy by the drafters and by the broker or agent should guarantee that the policy fully expresses ... intentions of the insurer and the expectations of the insured and that it uses proper grammar and punctuation. After all, these documents are often interpreted by the courts, where subtle nuances of word choice, punctuation, and grammar may make the difference between a covered claim and an uninsured loss. Unfortunately, the level of quality control of even the most prestigious of agents, brokers and insurers is sometimes low. Poor English is often the rule, and the readability of some policies can be described as tortuous.
