What is double insurance?
Double insurance occurs when an individual is covered by two separate insurance policies for the same loss. The insured is not legally entitled to recover more than the amount of the loss from all sources, so if the two policies provide the same coverage, the insured can only collect the amount of the loss from one of the policies.
