Additional Benefits of Insurance

When your car insurance premium is increased at renewal, your insurer is likely to back up the increase with reasons such as rising inflation, rising repair costs and rising liability cases and costs.
You may even be told that the increase is in reaction to the insurer's rising operating costs.
Most people detest insurance companies for this and other reasons but without a car insurance policy, for instance, you would have to set aside a significant amount to cater for eventualities which may range from a minor damage to your car or that of another to a huge liability if you hit a person or have to contest liability in court.

Insurance companies sponsor investigations into loss minimization and prevention including various campaigns to cut the number of vehicle thefts, fire prevention and boiler inspection services which prevent boiler explosions.

A friend once complained about the rigour of signing up for a life insurance policy which often involves  lengthy application forms followed in some cases by probing medical examinations and the dreaded AIDS tests. This same acquaintance later admitted that he would still be unsure of his HIV status had the insurance company not insisted on the tests.
Still on the subject of life Insurance,dependants of those not able to set aside an inheritance for their loved ones before they pass away usually struggle to maintain a similar standard of living.

With life cover loved ones can easily be provided for with a monthly premium as low as £6 and with the right cover the insurance company would also pick up the funeral costs.

Insurance in many ways grants us access to specialist services which some of us ordinarily would not be able to afford. Legal aid cover, for instance, spares us the hassle of having to sift through bulky legal documents often in 'fine prints'.
For a small monthly outlay, we pass on any legal fee to the insurer and avoid having to deal directly with lawyers. Taking into account that the legal costs may also include those of the other party, the significance of the role of insurance companies in these cases are quite significant.

Insurance companies around the globe employ thousands of staff directly and also engage the services of many risk surveyors, loss adjusters, lawyers and other specialities.

The industry is, therefore, vital to the economy of any country, serving as the livelihood of all these people not to mention their dependants.

Insurance also plays a useful role by enhancing our credit through guaranteeing the value of our collateral as borrowers.When you get a mortgage, for instance, the lender has greater assurance that the loan will be repaid because even in the worst case scenario that the collateral (a house) is lost, the insurer is there to indemnify the parties.
