Coinsurance is a contract through which several insurance companies decide in a certain way to join or associate with the purpose of insuring large events such as those mentioned above, this is done with the purpose of minimizing costs by the insurer because on certain occasions the economic values insured exceed the limits assessed by the insurance.
In coinsurance, the insured person or entity has the ability to choose who can insure it and in what sense, more clearly each person can choose which insurer takes care of each part of their assets; It is proper to mention that in this insurance process, since two insurers can intercede, there can also be up to eight and if necessary more.
The parties to the co-insured contract decide individually what percentage of the risk they want to cover, this is because some insurers have higher percentages to cover in any eventuality, although this distribution is usually made 50/50, however, the total percentage can be distributed as desired between the parties involved in this contract. It is good to clarify that although the distribution of risk is made by each insurer, it is not carried out if the client disagrees with this distribution.

Direct coinsurance: this is the contract through which the primary insurance entity (opener) decides to cede some risks to other insurance entities; This entire process is always done informing the insured.

Document by which a person requests coverage from an insurance company for a certain risk or risks, providing all the necessary data so that, if applicable, they accept them:
– SUBROGATION:
Article 1096 of the Commercial Code defines it as follows: “The insurer that pays compensation will be subrogated, by operation of law and up to the amount of the amount, in the rights of the insured against the persons responsible for the loss. But these may oppose the insurer the same exceptions that they could assert against the injured party.
There will also be room for subrogation in the rights of the insured when the latter, as a creditor, has contracted the insurance to protect his real right to the thing insured.
From an analysis of the various regulations that are applicable to the figure of subrogation from the insurance contract, it is found that the requirements for it to operate are the following:
That there is a valid insurance contract.
That the insurer makes the payment of compensation.
That the payment is valid.
Surrogacy is not prohibited.
Subrogation in the insurance contract has as its main characteristic that it operates by operation of law, that is, it transfers to the insurer the same right that the insured had against the third party, it is enough that the legal assumptions are met for them to be filed in head of the insurer the rights of the insured or beneficiary, but only up to the amount of compensation. If this is not the case, an unjust enrichment could be generated for the insurer.
The subrogation cannot go beyond the amount of compensation, because it may happen that the compensation does not represent full compensation for the rights of the insured or the beneficiary, arising from the contract or from the harmful conduct attributable to the author of the damage.
Now, in those cases in which the value of the indemnity is less than the damage caused by the party responsible for the claim, because the subrogation only enables the insurer to recover up to the amount paid for it, it is clear that the surplus of the damage not covered by the insurance maintains the right of the insured person to obtain full compensation for the property damage suffered.
Article 1099 of the Commercial Code states the following: "PROHIBITION OF SUBROGATION: The insurer shall not have the right to subrogation against any of the persons whose acts or omissions give rise to liability of the insured, in accordance with the laws, nor against the deceased of the claim that is, with respect to the insured, a direct or collateral relative within the second civil degree of consanguinity, adoptive parent, adopted child or non-divorced spouse.
But this rule will have no effect if the liability comes from intent or gross negligence, or in driving, compliance and credit insurance or if it is covered by an insurance contract. In the latter case, the subrogation will be limited in its scope in accordance with the terms of said contract.
Additionally, Subrogation is prohibited in personal insurance by express mandate of article 1139 of the Commercial Code.
In order to use the actions generated by the subrogation, usually those of the ordinary process, the existence of the insurance contract must be demonstrated by submitting a copy of the respective policy or the original when it is in the possession of the insurer and, in addition, it must be proved that a payment was made, which determines the exact amount of the sum up to which the insurer was subrogated.
It is the person (natural or legal) who transfers the risks to insure a certain number of people, and is responsible for paying the premiums.
Role of a person in a contract. Natural or legal person who, acting by himself or on behalf of a third party, contracts with an insurer the transfer of risks. Contractor.
The Commercial Code in its article 1106 indicates the Transfer due to death as follows: “The transfer due to death of the insured interest, or of the thing to which the insurance is linked, will leave the contract subsisting in the name of the acquirer, to whose The charge will be the fulfillment of the pending obligations at the time of the death of the insured.
But the awardee will have a period of fifteen days counted from the date of the approving sentence of the partition to notify the insurer of the respective acquisition. In the absence of this communication, the contract is terminated.
In turn, article 1107 of the Commercial Code indicates the Transfer by act inter vivos of the insurable interest: "The transfer by act inter vivos of the insured interest or of the thing to which the insurance is linked, will automatically cause the termination of the contract, unless there is still an insurable interest held by the insured. In this case, the contract will subsist to the extent necessary to protect said interest, provided that the insured informs the insurer of this circumstance within ten days following the transfer date.
The extinction will create the obligation of the insurer to return the unearned premium.
The express consent of the insurer, generically or specifically granted, will nullify the termination of the contract referred to in the first paragraph of this article.
Finally, article 1108 establishes that the insurer shall have the right to oppose to the purchaser of the insurance all the exceptions related to the contract, opposable to the main insured in the two previously mentioned cases (Arts. 1106 and 1107).
Economic value of the insurable interest. For real insurance, it is the maximum sum insured so that the insurance contract can fully fulfill its indemnity function. Cumulus analysis and exposed risks are used.
