What does a liberalization clause in an insurance policy aim to achieve?

A liberalization clause in an insurance policy is designed to enhance coverage benefits without requiring the policyholder to pay an additional premium. This clause allows insurers to offer improved terms, conditions, or coverage options to existing policyholders automatically when the insurer introduces them for new policies. The goal is to ensure that policyholders benefit from advancements in the insurance market or enhancements in coverage without the need to renegotiate or alter their existing policies.

This feature is particularly advantageous because it provides policyholders with up-to-date benefits and improved protection that they may not have had to request or pay for, making it an attractive aspect of insurance agreements. It reflects an insurer's commitment to keeping pace with the industry's evolving standards and enhancing customer satisfaction without extra costs at the time of the change.
