  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Testimony: Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries.
If a policy requires, by way of preliminary proof of loss, the certificate or testimony of a person other than the insured beneficiary, there is sufficient compliance with the requirement if the insured or the beneficiary (a) uses reasonable diligence to procure the certificate or testimony, and (b) in case of refusal to give it to him, furnishes reasonable evidence to the insurer that the refusal was not induced by just grounds of disbelief in the facts necessary to be certified or testified to.
