Insurance Liability Images

Insurance

A contract in which one party agrees to indemnify another against a predefined category of risks in exchange for a premium. The goal is to spread risk over a larger number of parties. 

Because of its importance in maintaining economic stability, the government and the courts use a heavy hand in ensuring these companies are regulated and fair to the consumer.

Subrogation

Subrogation allows an insurer who pays out to an insured under an insurance policy to gain the rights belonging to the insured against a third party who caused the loss.
