INSURANCE

Insurance is a financial product designed to protect individuals or entities from financial loss in the event of unexpected events or emergencies. It involves a contract, called a policy, between an insurer (the company providing the insurance) and the insured (the person or entity purchasing the insurance). In exchange for regular payments known as premiums, the insurer agrees to provide compensation or coverage for certain risks, such as damage, illness, or loss.
