Expert Insights on Insurance Industry
Insurance is the act of hedging against unexpected loss to an individual or a business in case of a certain unforeseen, yet not totally unexpected, event. The entity indemnifies itself against such a loss by entering into a contract with an insurance company by paying a fee, called a premium. The premiums collected by an insurance company are used to fund accounts for claim payments and for investment purposes.
