Das Wörterbuch der Versicherung ist ein Nachschlagewerk, das gerade in Zeiten zunehmender Globalisierung, expandierender Exporte und dem zunehmenden Gebrauch von Anglizismen seine Bedeutung erlangt. Wirtschaftstexte sind heute nicht mehr nur national gebräuchliche Texte. Verträge, Vereinbarungen sowie die Verhandlungen hierzu werden nicht selten auch im Ausland verwendet oder geführt, Konferenzen sind mehrsprachig oder englisch. Das Wörterbuch enthält eine Zusammenstellung von Begriffen aus der Praxis für die Praxis. Es rekrutiert seinen Inhalt aus Policen der einzelnen Versicherungssparten, aber auch aus der nationalen und internationalen Korrespondenz im Versicherungssektor. Das Kompendium ist mit über 20.000 Begriffen ein wertvoller Helfer im Tagesgeschäft. Es spricht Versicherer, Versicherungsnehmer und Versicherungsvermittler gleichermaßen an und enthält versicherungs- und haftungsrechtliche Begriffe ebenso wie die Begriffe aller wesentlichen Schaden- und Personenversicherungen – aus der Haftpflicht-, Kraftfahrzeug-, Lebens-, Feuer- und Transportversicherung. Als Ergänzung wird die Nutzung der neuen Ausgabe Englisch/Deutsch empfohlen, die zeitgleich mit diesem Nachschlagewerk erschienen ist.
