Insurance Law in Cape Verde

Insurance Law is the branch of law that governs the set of rules and principles of contractual insurance relationships between individuals. Insurance Law is an area present in the daily lives of people, public and private organizations, because every activity, whether human or not, presupposes a minimum risk (an unpredictable and abnormal event, capable of causing damage to people and property), that needs to be taken care of. In Cape Verde, Insurance Law complies with extensive legislation, such as the General Regime for the Insurance Contract approved by Decree-Law number 35/2010, of 6 September, which provides for the Insurance Contract as an agreement through of which the insurer, by means of a remuneration called a premium, assumes the coverage of certain risks, committing to satisfy the indemnities or to pay the insured capital in the event of an accident, under the agreed terms. Likewise, the Policy cannot be forgotten as a relevant Institute, as it is understood, by many, as the insurance contract itself, since it translates a written document that formalizes it.
