Concealment The failure of the insured to reveal relevant facts known to the insured in applying for insurance. Abandonment Property insurance policies usually contain an abandonment clause, stating the insured cannot dump damaged property on the insurer and demand its full value. Severability The insurance applies separately to each insured as if other insureds did not exist. Proximate Cause The cause having the most significant impact in bringing about the loss under a first-party property insurance policy, when two or more independent perils operate at the same time (i.e., concurrently) to produce a loss. Courts employ a set of rules to resolve causation disputes when a property policy states that it covers or excludes losses "caused by" a peril and there is more than one peril at work in a fact pattern. Under common law, whether the policy provides coverage depends on which peril is chosen as the proximate cause. Direct Loss Physical harm to tangible property. Indirect Loss Economic loss which flows as a result of direct loss.
