Life is full of risks. That’s what makes it so interesting and exciting. But some unexpected events can really set you back.
General insurance helps us protect ourselves and the things we value, such as our homes, cars and valuables, from the financial impact of risks, big and small – from fire, flood, storm and earthquake, to theft, car accidents, travel mishaps – and even from the costs of legal action against us. And we can choose the types of risks we wish to cover by choosing the right kind of policy with the features we need.
In general, insurance works by spreading the cost of unexpected risks among a large number of people in the same region who share similar risks.
