What do mean by insurance?
Insurance is a way to manage your risk. When you buy insurance, you purchase protection against unexpected financial losses. The insurance company pays you or someone you choose if something bad happens to you. If you have no insurance and an accident happens, you may be responsible for all related costs.

Most people have some kind of insurance: for their car, their house, or even their life. Yet most of us don’t stop to think too much about what insurance is or how it works.
Put simply, insurance is a contract, represented by a policy, in which a policyholder receives financial protection or reimbursement against losses from an insurance company. The company pools clients’ risks to make payments more affordable for the insured.
Insurance policies are used to hedge against the risk of financial losses, both big and small, that may result from damage to the insured or their property, or from liability for damage or injury caused to a third party.
Having the right insurance
for the risks you may face can make a big
difference in your life.
People get insurance not only to help with
risks from unexpected events but also to
help pay for routine things, such as annual
medical checkups and dental visits. In addition, insurance companies negotiate
discounts with health care providers, so their customers pay those discounted rates.
An insurance policy is a written contract between the policyholder (the person or
company that gets the policy) and the insurer (the insurance company).
The policyholder is not necessarily the insured. An individual or company may get
an insurance policy (making them the policyholder) that protects another person or
entity (who is the insured). For example, when a company buys life insurance for an
employee, the employee is the insured, and the company is the policyholder.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Insurance is a contract (policy) in which an insurer indemnifies another against losses from specific contingencies or perils.
There are many types of insurance policies. Life, health, homeowners, and auto are the most common forms of insurance.
The core components that make up most insurance policies are the deductible, policy limit, and premium.
