Introduction
Life insurance is a complex topic, but understanding the basics can help you make smart decisions. In this blog post, DJ Bettencourt covers what insurance is and how it works. We’ll also look at some common types of life insurance—and their pros and cons—to help you figure out what might be right for your situation.
What is insurance?
Insurance is a financial product that helps protect you from the risk of loss. The term “insurance” refers to an agreement between two parties, called the insured and the insurer. When you buy insurance, you pay a premium (a certain amount) in exchange for coverage against certain losses or liabilities.
The most common types of insurance include life, health and auto policies; however there are also other types available on the market today such as flood/storm protection as well as homeowner’s plans that cover damage caused by disasters like fires or earthquakes.
Why do I need insurance?
Insurance is a way to protect yourself from financial loss. It can help you cover the cost of unexpected events in your life, such as injury or illness, damage to your home or car, and even death.
These types of events are called “perils” because they’re seen as dangerous or risky. Insurance companies offer different kinds of insurance policies that protect against different perils–and one type may not cover all of them! For example:
- Auto insurance protects you against accidents involving vehicles that you own or operate (including motorcycles). Some policies also provide liability coverage if someone else gets into an accident with your vehicle while it’s parked on the road; this kind of coverage doesn’t apply if another driver hits your parked car while turning into their driveway next door though! So be sure to check out all aspects before making any decisions about which policy best fits your needs/wants 🙂
Where can I find rates for life insurance quotes?
If you’re looking for life insurance quotes, there are a few places you can go. The first is your local agent. They will be able to provide you with information about different policies and help explain the ins and outs of each policy. This can be helpful if you want personalized attention or want someone who knows the market well enough to make recommendations based on your needs.
However, if convenience is important to you (and let’s face it–it usually is), then online providers may be more up your alley. Online providers offer several advantages over traditional agents: they are generally cheaper than their brick-and-mortar counterparts; they don’t require an appointment; and most importantly: no one is going to try and sell me anything when all I want is some basic information!
