INTRODUCTION TO INSURANCE

Insurance is an agreement or transaction whereby a party called the

event of a loss.

Insurance is an agreement between the insured and the insurer, where the

insurer agrees to compensate the insured in the event of a loss. From the

legal point of view, insurance is a contract whereby one person called the

“insurer” undertakes, in return for the agreed consideration called the

premium, to pay another person called the “insured” a sum of money or its

equivalent, on the happening of a specific event.
