Assurance for cover, in other words it is called as insurance. It is the cover promised by the insurance company on the individual’s property or life. These are mostly financial covers. The financial covers are made in return to the premiums that are made by the individual on regular basis. These premiums are calculated on certain grounds and they vary from person to person. These insurance companies collect huge amount of data, or past records on the relevant field. For example, in motor insurance, the company would have collected tremendous amount of data from past accidents and would have a database on the same. So when a new individual needs to insure his or her motor vehicle, the insurance company refers to the cost of damage that might turn up in the future by comparing his or her age, sex, driving record, accident history of the insured and also sometimes the model of the car, with the data they have. In case the driving record is bad i.e. the driver was involved in large number of accidents then the company levies a hefty premium in order to cover the expected losses. They think before insuring something in order to minimize their loss.

Insurance is a social instrument to reduce the risk of life and as well as property. Insurance works when an individual pays periodic payments to cover the type of risk involved with the property that is to be insured. The types of risks that can be insured by any individual are such as risks against that include fire, threat of the sea, death, unpleasant incident, and theft. Any particular risk contingent upon these may be insured against at a premium matching with the risk involved. In other words it is a type of agreement between two parties, that is the insurance company, also called as the insurer, and the individual involved, who can be referred as the insured. So the contract statement for the insurance will read as the insurers will have to pay the financial losses suffered by the insured as a result of the occurrence of any unexpected events that cause damage to the insured property, in return for the payment of regular premium by the insured on regular period. This act works in such a way that the premium paid by the entire insured, sum up to the total amount that is paid to the unfortunate ones who suffer.
