Defined Terms
As you read this summary of the JPMorgan Chase Group Personal Excess Liability Plan, you'll come across some important terms related to the Plan. To help you better understand the Plan, many of those important terms are defined here.
Bodily Injury
Bodily injury means physical bodily harm, including sickness or disease that results from it, and required care, loss of services and resulting death.
Covered Person
A covered person includes:
- You or a family member*;
- Any person using a vehicle or watercraft covered under the Plan with permission from you or a family member with respect to their legal responsibility arising out of its use;
- Any person or organization with respect to their legal responsibility for covered acts or omissions of you or a family member; or
- Any combination of the above.
* Family member means your spouse or domestic partner or other relative who lives with you, or any other person under 25 in your care or your relative's care, who lives with you or a student under 25 in your care temporarily away at school who is a resident in your household.
Damages
Damages means the sum that is paid or is payable to satisfy a claim settled by Chubb or resolved by judicial procedure or by a compromise agreed to in writing.
Follow Form
Follow Form means that Chubb covers damages to the extent they are both covered under the required primary underlying insurance and not excluded under the Plan. The amount of coverage, defense coverages, cancellation and "other insurance" provisions of the Plan supersede and replace the similar provisions contained in such other policies. When the Group Personal Excess Liability Plan is called upon to pay losses in excess of required primary underlying policies exhausted by payment of claims, Chubb will not provide broader coverage than provided by such policies. When no primary underlying coverage exists, the extent of coverage provided on a follow form basis will be determined as if the required primary underlying insurance had been purchased from Chubb.
Occurrence
An occurrence is an accident which begins within the policy period resulting in bodily injury, mental anguish, mental injury, or property damage or an offense first committed within the policy period resulting in false arrest, false imprisonment, or wrongful detention; wrongful entry into, wrongful eviction of a person from or other violation of a person's right of private occupancy of a residence premises or room that such person occupies, if committed by or on behalf of its landlord, lessor or owner; malicious prosecution; or libel, slander, defamation of character, or invasion of privacy to which this insurance applies. Continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same general conditions unless excluded is considered to be one occurrence.

Property Damage

Tangible property includes the cost of recreating or replacing stocks, bonds, deeds, mortgages, bank deposits, and similar instruments, but does not include the value represented by such instruments.
