Insuranceopedia Explains Claims Occurrence Basis Liability Coverage

Claims occurrence basis liability coverage is an alternative to claims made basis liability coverage. With claims made liability coverage, only claims that are for events during the policy period, and which are filed during the policy period are covered. So the primary difference between the two types of liability coverage is that with claims made, you cannot get reimbursement unless you file the claim during the policy period. With claims occurrence, you can, which makes it, all other things equal, the more desirable type of coverage.
