Abstract

The concept of insurance implies the existence of a risk whose occurrence cannot be ascertained and the delegation of responsibility to bear the burden of risk from the party who has the risk to another party who is able to take over the responsibility. Insurance institutions, apart from being risk transfer institutions, are also institutions that absorb funds from the public through premium payments. The insurance business is a business that is full of trust and high-risk business. The case of failure to pay claims of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero) is not only an indication of state losses but also losses suffered by policyholders (customers). The cause of the default was an error in the management of customer funds, starting from the collection of funds for the JS Proteksi Plan product and the occurrence of irregularities in the asset investment process which allegedly contained unlawful acts. Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero) has legal responsibility for losses suffered by customers as policyholders.
