General Insurance, often called non-life insurance, provides financial
protection against unexpected losses, damages, theft, accidents, illnesses,
and liabilities. Unlike life insurance, which provides benefits upon the
policyholder's death, general insurance safeguards your assets, health,
property, and business from everyday risks.
How It Works
General insurance policies operate on the principle of indemnity.
In the event of a covered loss, the insurer compensates the policyholder
for the actual financial loss incurred, subject to the terms,
conditions, and coverage limits of the policy.
- Protection against unexpected financial losses.
- Compensation based on actual loss incurred.
- Coverage subject to policy terms and limits.
