An exclusion gives a condition for which an insurance policy does not cover. You may have homeowners insurance. It may exclude damage to vehicles. You would need to have a separate insurance policy on your car.

If a hurricane came and the roof was blown off your house and your car was blown away. Your homeowners would pay for your roof but not your car. If you have collision insurance, it would pay for your car. Your homeowners would have an exclusion clause excluding your car.

The Most Common Life Insurance Exclusions:

• The Contestable Period – this refers to the period where the omission has been undertaken by the insured such as the deliberate act of lying about the insured’s medical condition.

• Material Misrepresentation – it reflects the malicious withholding of vital information that may significantly affect the life insurance claim;

• Alcohol and Drug Use – basically the use of these substances may reduce the insurance claim if not totally revoke the insurance policy;

• Illegal Activity – insurance subject should be secured and aligned with the existing law of the country;

• Suicide – this self-infliction act is not within the coverage of life insurance within the policy’s first two years.

Can the court alter the terms of an insurance policy through awarding claims excluded in the policy?

The court can make any judgment they wish in regards to a claim regardless to what is covered by the insurance companies policy. What happens is the individual policy holder is now on the hook for the damages that the insurance company is not going to cover. The terms of the policy would be inforce unless a court of authority finds the insurance company was negligent in it's exclusion of specific terms in the policy. So basicly the insured person who was covered by the policy is out of pocket the amount of the awarded claim regardles of the insurance company covering that exclusion or not.

Can you collect insurance benefits on an accidental cocaine insurance policy?

There is no such thing as an "accidental cocaine insurance policy". If what you are referring to is a health insurance policy, there may be circumstances under which it will pay for the resulting medical expenses from the accidental or unintentional ingestion of cocaine. There is usually an express exclusion, however, for the intentional use of drugs and resulting medical problems. The analysis is similar as to life insurance. There is typically an exclusion for death resulting from the intentional use of illicit drugs. However, if the ingestion was accidental (such as someone else "slipped" the drug to the insured), there may be a valid argument for collecting under the policy.
