In 1941, the
insurance industry began to shift to the current system where covered risks are initially
defined broadly in an «all risk» [16] or «all sums» [17] insuring agreement on a general policy form (e.g., «We will pay all sums that the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages...»), then narrowed down
by subsequent exclusion clauses (e.g., «This
insurance does not apply to...»).
