What is Insurance?
Insurance is a legal agreement/contract between two parties i.e. the insurance company (insurer) and a client (insured - with listed beneficiaries). In this agreement, the insurance company promises to make good the losses of the insured on happening of the insured contingency (risk). The contingency is the event which causes a loss. It can be the death of the policyholder or damage/destruction of the property. It’s called a contingency because there’s an uncertainty regarding if or when the risk will take place in the future. The insured pays a premium in return for the promise made by the insurer.
How does it work?
The insurer and the insured get into a legal contract (for the insurance), which is called the insurance policy. The insurance policy has the terms and conditions under which the insurance company will pay out the insurance amount to either the insured person or the beneficiaries.
Insurance agencies ease the process of a client getting insurance by helping the client throughout the application process. As a matter of fact, insurance agencies act as a go-between the insurance and the insured. Speevo is an excellent choice for an insurance agency in Kenya.
