Insurance is a contract between two parties, one is the Insurer and the other is called Insured. The insurer assures in exchange for a fixed sum known as Premiums and pays the Insured a fixed amount of money on the happening of uncertain events.
By making a contract the insurance company agrees to pay a predetermined amount of money to the Policy holder or his family members incase of any unfortunate event. Insurance companies collect premiums to provide a protection against a financial loss which can happen of an unexpected event.
Just by paying a small amount of money every month, quarterly, half yearly or annually a person can safeguard his family and himself financially from an unfortunate event. For instance, when a person buys a Life Insurance policy by paying premium to the insurance company, his family members can receive a fixed compensation incase of any unfortunate event like death.
Various kinds of insurance products are available and some of them are life insurance, home insurance, vehicle insurance, health or mediclaim insurance, travel insurance, etc.
Loss of life or injuries incurred cannot be measured in financial terms; such losses can be financially quantified by insurance; A disability or an accident can be devastating but an insurance policy can support at such times too.
