Summary |
Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium. Insurer is the company that sells the insurance. Insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount, called the premium, to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice. This book is all about the principles and practice of insurance.
