Understanding Insurance: Types and Benefits

Insurance is a financial safeguard where you pay premiums over time in exchange for coverage against monetary losses due to specific events. An insurance policy is a legal contract between an individual (the insured) and an insurance company (the insurer). The insurer agrees to pay a predetermined sum to the policyholder in certain situations to cover losses, in return for premium payments for a specified period.
