<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The practice or arrangement in which a company or government agency provides a guarantee of compensation for specified loss, damage, illness, or death in return for payment of a premium.<br /> ==Definition==<br /> [[File:Fire mark for Farmers Fire Insurance Company in York, Pennsylvania.jpg|Insurance company|thumb]]<br /> Insurance is a contract between an individual and an insurance company that provides financial protection against unexpected events or losses. <br /> ==Types==<br /> It can come in various forms such as life insurance, health insurance, auto insurance, homeowners insurance, and many others.<br /> ==How does it work?==<br /> The individual (insured) pays a premium to the insurance company, and in exchange, the insurance company agrees to pay a specified amount of money in the event of a loss or specified event.<br /> ==Spreading the risk==<br /> Having insurance helps spread the risk of financial loss among a large group of people, rather than having one individual bear the full cost of an unexpected event. This allows individuals to have peace of mind and financial stability in the event of a covered loss.<br /> It is important to carefully evaluate your insurance needs and options, as well as read and understand the terms and conditions of a policy before purchasing insurance. It is also important to regularly review and update your insurance coverage to ensure that it continues to meet your needs.<br /> ==Also see==<br /> * [[Health insurance]]<br /> {{Finance}}<br /> {{Insurance}}<br /> {{Major insurance companies}}<br /> {{Industries}}<br /> {{stub}}<br /> [[Category:Insurance| ]]<br /> [[Category:Financial services]]<br /> [[Category:Services sector of the economy]]</div>
