Can a contract be one sided?
Yes, a contract can be one-sided if it primarily benefits one party while imposing obligations on the other without reciprocal benefits. However, for a contract to be legally enforceable, it typically needs to have mutual consent and consideration from both parties. One-sided contracts may be scrutinized for fairness and could potentially be deemed unconscionable or void if they are excessively imbalanced.

Why insurance contract is one sided contract?
Insurance contracts are not one sided. There are two parties to the contract. The insurance company who agrees to insure the insured party. The insured party who agrees to make the premium payments. Thus a contract. While the foregoing is broadly true (although there can be many more than 2 parties to a contract), what the question may really be asking is why insurance contracts are characterized as adhesion contracts. An adhesion contract is one which is essentially non-negotiable and offered on a "take it or leave it" basis. In the case of insurance, the insurer chooses the language of the policy, and at least as far as most types of consumer insurance is concerned, the language is not negotiable. However, if a coverage dispute arises and the parties litigate over the policy (whether or not an event is covered), the court will determine whether or not there was an ambiguity in the terms of coverage. In that respect, an ambiguity is a term or a phrase that can be construed alternately as affording coverage for the event or not affording coverage. In general, if the court finds that there was an ambiguity, it will usually determine that there is coverage for the event (because the insured had no role in choosing the language of the policy, and if the insurer wanted to specifically exclude coverage, it could have chosen different wording). That said, a court will not accept a twisted meaning of a term or phrase so as to create an ambiguity-the term or phrase will be given its usual and ordinary meaning unless specifically defined otherwise in the policy.
Can a person insure a car of their parents?
No. The insurance must be in the name of the owner of the vehicle. An insurance policy is a legally binding contract and if one party does not own the vehicle then the policy and thus the contract is void. The insurance company cannot pay a claim on a vehicle if the owner is not party to the contract. They also cannot legally pay the owner because they are not an insured person under the contract.
If Only one party to an insurance contract has made a legally enforceable promise what kind of contract is it?
If only one party to an insurance contract has made a legally enforceable promise, it is considered a unilateral contract. In a unilateral contract, one party (usually the insurer) makes a promise in exchange for an act or performance by the other party (the insured), but the insured is not obligated to perform. The contract becomes binding only when the insured fulfills the required action, such as paying a premium or filing a claim.

How is a contract formed illegally?
