20 CFR 726.205 - Other forms of endorsement and policies.

Section Number: 726.205
Section Name: Other forms of endorsement and policies.

    Forms of endorsement or policies other than that described in 
Sec. 726.203 may be entered into by operators to insure their liability 
under the Act. However, any form of endorsement or policy which 
materially alters or attempts to materially alter an operator's 
liability for the payment of any benefits under the Act shall be deemed 
insufficient to discharge such operator's duties and responsibilities 
as prescribed in part C of title IV of the Act. In any event, the 
failure of an operator to obtain an adequate policy or contract of 
insurance shall not affect such operator's liability for the payment of 
any benefits for which he is determined liable.
