agree PRoTechEE : Gillian is correct on both counts. Also "general" is very common term, while non-life is more common as parenthetical explanation than stand-alone term (that's also exactly how Serge quoted it, so why did he elevate its status? )

non-life insurance

Found in Eurodicautom.

some examples:

"Undoubtedly, the prolonged economic stagnation in 1990s has heavily affected the non-life insurance industry as clearly shown in the lower average growth rate of 0.9% per year of the industry-wise direct premium income in that period as compared to that of 10.2% in 1980s."

"The Insurance Foundation Certificate (IFC) qualification is a recognised, stand-alone qualification which provides a solid foundation of knowledge of basic insurance principles, insurance practice and general (non-life) insurance products."

HTH,

Serge L.

non-marine insurance

Non-marine insurance covers all non-life covers that cannot be considered to be marine or aviation risks.

Casualty insurance is a part of non-marine insurance (e.g. liability, personal accident) but does not include property risks such as fire, householders, machinery breakdown.

Non-life insurance would also include aviation and marine risks, which are not part of non-marine insurance and have their own equivalent in French.

Found in Eurodicautom:
"les opérations d'assurance dommages sont les opérations relatives à la couverture de risques tels que la responsabilité civile,l'incendie,l'accident,le vol,la maladie et d'autres risques divers"

I have 20 years experience of working in international insurance broking.
