摘要：Apart from banking and telecommunications services, insurance is the most
dynamically developing market in Poland. Since 1990, when the law on insurance
activity was passed, the number of insurance companies has increased considerably. The
quick adoption of the above-mentioned law was related to the system transformation and
an urgent need to adjust that sector of the economy to the standards applicable in
capitalist countries. The unification of the law and adoption of international insurance
conventions have stimulated the growth of that sector. The offer of insurance companies
has been extended to include new and better services, ranging from basic vehicle or
property insurance to complicated financial insurance.
A broadly conceived insurance market consists of two basic components, i.e.
insurers who represent the supply of insurance coverage and policyholders, or persons
with a property interest, who represent demand. A person who concludes an insurance
contract with an insurer is a policyholder.
This article presents the legal regulations concerning of insurance services
undertaken by enterprises in Poland.
