Types of policies-vehicle, fire, burglary, marine and life
insurance.
NOTE:
Insurance is a legal contract that protects people from the financial
costs that result from loss of life, loss of health, lawsuits, or property
damage. Insurance provides a means for individuals and societies to
cope with some of the risks faced in everyday life. People purchase
contracts of insurance, called policies, from a variety of insurance
organizations.
IMPORTANCE OF INSURANCE
Insurance benefits society by allowing individuals to share the risks
faced by many people. But it also serves many other important
economic and societal functions. Because insurance is available and
affordable, banks can make loans with the assurance that the loan’s
collateral (property that can be taken as payment if a loan goes
unpaid) is covered against damage. This increased availability of
credit helps people buy homes and cars. Insurance also provides the
capital that communities need to quickly rebuild and recover
economically from natural disasters, such as tornadoes or
hurricanes.
EVALUATION

3. What are the importance of insurance?
In fire insurance the premium rates are of two kinds: class rates and
schedule rates. Dwellings are largely class rated; that is, they are
grouped into fairly homogeneous categories according to the type of
occupancy, type of construction, and type of community fire
protection. A uniform rate is applied to all risks in the same
category. Commercial and industrial properties, which vary greatly
in respect to degree of hazard, are usually schedule rated. In
schedule rating the individual physical characteristics of each risk
are appraised according to a schedule of charges and credits. The
elements considered in the rating include occupancy, construction,
internal protection, community fire protection, and exposure from
neighboring buildings.
