RIOS OSSA, ROBERTO. The Duty of Information in the Insurance, as an Instrument of Rational Decision in the Contracting and Protection in Favor of the Insured. Rev. Derecho Privado [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.203-231.  Epub Nov 01, 2020. ISSN 0123-4366.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01234366.n39.09.

Both doctrine and legal systems have dealt with the problem of information in contracts and, under this situation, the duty to provide information arises as an instrument that would allow the business imbalance to be reduced. In the case of insurance, especially in its form of a state contract and of adhesion, in addition to its highly technical content, which is difficult to understand, the duty of information must fulfill a function aimed at the best possible understanding of the contractual content, especially as the insured is protected.

Keywords : information; asymmetry; insurance.
