It mainly comprises of material value in the form of tangible assets. Since tangible
property has a physical shape and consistency, it is subject to many risks ranging
from fire, allied perils to theft and robbery. But if a person judiciously invests
in insurance for his property prior to any unexpected contingency then he will be
suitably compensated for his loss as soon as the extent of damage is ascertained.
PEOPLE RISKS:
Under the purview of this class of insurance, the risks associated with human life
in general can be covered up to the limit specified. A person can insure his or
her life and his health against any unplanned contingencies.
In event of his death, his dependants will be reimbursed to the full amount that
he was insured for. Or if the insured person meets with an accident or suffers from
an illness that cripples him forever, he will be compensated with the complete sum
assured anyway since he may not be able to lead a normal life again.
In case, the accident is not that severe, he should be able to recover after medical
treatment and rehabilitation. If he has opted for medical cover, then his medical
expenses, treatment and medication will be paid for by his insurance policy.
FINANCIAL RISKS:
Today’s corporate environment is characterized by increased sensitivity to
Corporate Governance issues, stringent client contracts, demanding stakeholders
and an increased need for protection against fraud. This necessitates companies
to protect themselves against a wide range of exposures arising out of the dynamic
nature of business.
LIABILITIES RISKS:
Irrespective of the size of business, it is pivotal to consider liability insurance.
It is prudent to cover your business against all kinds of liabilities -- public
liability (third party injury or property damage) from industrial and non-industrial
operations, product liability, professional indemnity, D&O liability and E&O
liability.
