SEF 8

The idea of the property damage reimbursement endorsement - this applies to Section A - third party liability coverage. The signing of this endorsement means the insured agrees to reimburse the insurance company a stated amount or the actual amount of loss or damage, whichever one is the least, in respect of loss or of damage to property arising out of each and every accident with respect to which the policy responds under Section A.

This endorsement usually appears on a policy when the underwriter wants to diminish the overall cost of a Section A loss. There is no charge for this endorsement.

If there is a driver in your household who is considered to be of high risk then you may say the insurance company requesting that this form be signed. If this person drives the vehicle and has an accident then the owner of the policy, you, will have to pay back the amount of loss or damage.

If you are asked to sign this form then do discuss the implications with your agent or broker. This is a very serious request.
