Insurance:
In
law and economics, insurance is a form of risk management
primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent,
uncertain loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer
of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange
for payment. An insurer is a company selling the insurance;
an insured, or policyholder, is the person or entity buying
the insurance policy. The insurance rate is a factor used
to determine the amount to be charged for a certain amount
of insurance coverage, called the premium. Risk management,
the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved
as a discrete field of study and practice.
The
transaction involves the insured assuming a guaranteed and
known relatively small loss in the form of payment to the
insurer in exchange for the insurer's promise to compensate
(indemnify) the insured in the case of a financial (personal)
loss. The insured receives a contract, called the insurance
policy, which details the conditions and circumstances under
which the insured will be financially compensated.
