Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium, and can be thought of as a guaranteed small loss to prevent a large, possibly devastating loss. An insurer is a company selling the insurance; an insured or policyholder is the person or entity buying the insurance. The insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage, called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.

How long is a insurance company required to give before they cancel your insurance?
Q. My insurance called me yesterday and informed me that they would be cancelling my insurance because I have rented my house to a group of students. They gave me two weeks to find new insurance before they cut me off. I'm having trouble finding someone who will insure us. If they cut my insurance, my bank will cancel my mortgage, and I guess that means I'd lose the house. Is this insurance company allowed to drop me in this manner. When we got the insurance two months ago there was nobody living in the house, but it was rental insurance. We never lied or anything, we were completely honest through the whole process.

A. most insurance policies range from 30 to 90 days on a cancellation for non payment. You need to stop and read your policy carefully. If this is a home owners policy there is likely an exclusion for using the house as a business. When you bought the insurance you were probably purchased it through an agent. He didnt care what you told him. all he wanted to do was sale the policy. It's the underwriter that now wants to cancel it. Bottom line. I think that you have two options. 1. Purchase a commercial property insurance policy. (expensive but doable.) 2. Search around and find another homeowners insurance policy and buy 1M dollars worth of umbrella coverage. I'd spend my time looking for option two. The minute you ask about an… [cont.]

What typically happens to the insurance industry during a period of economic recession?
Q. Are people more afraid and purchase more insurance or less? Does it make them delay purchasing insurance? Life and Health insurance specifically. More specifically senior medical supplement policies, advantage plans, life insurance, long term care insurance, and annuities. I'm asking for myself. Is it a good time economically in the U.S. today to sell these products? General or specific information will be helpful. Thank you for your experience and thoughts.

A. "People are buying insurance products regardless of economic conditions.The insurance industry and large-cap consumer staples companies also tend to pay meaningful dividends -- and steadily raise them -- enhancing their overall quality and appeal. Dividend income is always welcomed by consumers, especially so in choppy markets when you're effectively paid to wait until the turmoil subsides.To answer your question if is a good time to sell in U.S.i say it is! not only in U.S. but also in Europe.

What insurance is needed in Texas to host a non-profit fundraiser?
Q. I am in Galveston, TX and I am looking to host a large outdoor fundraiser for a non-profit organization. What type of insurance will I need to cover the event? Where can I look to find more details and how much does this insurance usually cost? Thanks!
Asked by Phil E - Sun Oct 14 11:54:38 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The non-profit organization should have a general liability policy, if they don't they need to get one. This policy can include events either within the policy or as a rider to the policy. The cost will be highly dependent upon the size of the organization, what they do, where they hold meetings and events, how often they hold meetings and events, and the size of those meetings and events. You can get a policy for as little as $200-$300 per year for small organizations up to over $10,000 for large organizations. You'll want to visit a local independent agent that deals with commercial policies.
