Due Diligence

Definition


Due Diligence (Canadian insurance context): The careful, reasonable steps an insurer, broker or policy-holder takes to properly investigate, understand and verify all important facts, records and risks before entering, renewing or amending an insurance contract. It includes checking documents for accuracy, assessing the actual nature and value of the insured property or liability, confirming legal compliance, and evaluating any factors that could affect coverage or premium. Conducting due diligence helps prevent disputes at claim time and satisfies legal duties in Canadian insurance law, such as the duty of utmost good faith and provincial regulatory requirements.
