Kinds of insurance.

 Life insuranceis a contract in writing whereby the insured person will pay the insurance company stated premiums, so that he / she will receive a certain sum of money with or without bonuses on reaching a certain age or at death, whichever is the sooner. Property insurance is used to insure against loss from accidental destruction of property. Marine insurance contracts are written to cover (1) the vessel, (2) the cargo, (3) the freight revenue to be received by the ship owner, and (4) legal liability for negligence of the shipper or the carrier. There are at least four major types of liability insurance contracts: (1) liability arising out of the use of automobiles, (2) liability arising out of the conduct of a business, (3) liability arising from professional negligence (applicable to doctors, lawyers, etc.), and (4) personal liability. Theft insurance covers all acts of stealing. Aviation insurance covers physical damage to the aircraft and legal liability arising out of its ownership and operation. Workers' compensation insurance, sometimes called industrial injury insurance, compensates workers for losses suffered as a result of work-related injuries. Industrial injury insurance is a contract whereby payments are made regardless of negligence. Credit insurance covers the risk of bad debts from insolvency (that is, the inability of a person or company to pay their debts as they fall due), death, and disability. Also, credit insurance covers the risk of loss of savings from bank failure and the risk of loss from export credit because of war or other political causes.
