In this contract, the chances of benefit are equal to the insured and the insurer. The first actually pays a certain sum, and the latter undertakes to pay a larger, if an accident should happen.

Constructive total loss
Constructive total loss, a term used in the law of marine insurance to denote a loss which entitles the assured to claim the whole amount of his insurance, on giving to the assurers notice of abandonment. Generally there is a constructive total loss when the subject-matter assured has not actually perished or lost its form or species, but has, by one of the perils insured against, been reduced to such a state or placed in such a position as to make its total destruction, though not inevitable, yet highly imminent, or its ultimate arrival under the terms of the policy, though not utterly hopeless, yet exceedingly doubtful. In such a case the assured, by giving notice within a reasonable time to the assurers of abandonment, i.e., the relinquishment of all his right to whatever may be saved, is entitled to recover against them as for a total loss.If notice is not given, the loss is treated as a partial loss unless the ship in fact has become a total loss or if there would be no possibilit...

(b) Particular average is damage, or loss to a ship, or cargo, other than a general average loss.
