Understanding Insurance: A Practical Guide
What Is Insurance?
Insurance is a financial arrangement where an individual or entity pays premiums to an insurer in exchange for protection against specific risks. If a covered event occurs—like an accident, illness, or property damage—the insurer compensates the insured, reducing financial burden.
“Insurance substitutes certainty for uncertainty regarding the economic cost of loss-producing events.” — Britannica
