Insurance: You Don’t Need It Until You Need It! So Get It.

Insurance Mon, Jun 4, 2018 Insurance why do I have to have it? You don’t until you do! Insurance is a means of protection from financial loss. It is a form of risk management, primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent or uncertain loss. … The amount of money charged by the insurer to the insured for the coverage set forth in the insurance policy is called the premium.
