How Insurance Works

Insurance can assist you with paying for repairs to your property or cover other people's medical expenses or property damage on your behalf.

A contract for insurance shifts the risk of financial loss from a person or organization to an insurance provider. They gather little sums of money from customers and combine it to cover losses.

Insurance can be separated into two main groups:

1. Life and health insurance
2. Property and casualty insurance (P&C)

Businesses and individuals are protected against financial and physical damages pertaining to their assets and possessions by property and casualty insurance.

People who have life and health insurance are shielded against financial loss in the event of an early death, illness, or disease.

Based on a variety of risk factors, insurance calculates the cost of insurance premiums it charges consumers using probability and the law of large numbers. The premium should be high enough to cover the company's costs, cover future claims, and earn a profit, but not so high that it drives away clients. Insurance firms will need to collect more to cover the expected claims if an event is more likely to occur for a particular client.

Different strategies are used by insurers to sell their goods and services to customers. The government regulates the premiums that insurance firms charge. Insurance firms are not allowed to treat applicants or insured people differently on the basis of something that has nothing to do with the likelihood of a loss.
