Imagine you have a toy car that you really love and you want to make sure it's protected against any accidents that might happen. You decide to get insurance for your toy car.
Now, there are different types of insurance you can get. One of them is called dual trigger insurance. This type of insurance is like having two triggers that need to be pulled before your insurance kicks in.
Let's say that someone accidentally throws a ball and it hits your toy car, causing some damage. This is the first trigger. It's an event that could make you eligible for a claim on your insurance.
But with dual trigger insurance, there's a second trigger. This trigger is something like a storm that causes damage to your toy car. You need both the first and second triggers to pull before your insurance kicks in.
So if your toy car only gets hit by a ball, but there's no storm, then your insurance won't cover the damages. But if both the ball and the storm damage the toy car, then you can file a claim with your insurance company and they will help you pay for the repairs.
Dual trigger insurance is often used for things like property insurance, where there are multiple potential causes of damage or loss. It's a way to make sure that you're protected against a wide range of possible risks, while also keeping insurance costs down by only paying for coverage when both triggers are met.
