insurance policies
Protection against loss
Insurance policies are contracts between an insurer and a policyholder, specifying coverage terms, premiums, and conditions under which claims will be paid.
The document details what risks are covered—life, health, property, liability—and what exclusions apply.
Read your insurance policy carefully before signing.
People often use "policy" alone when the insurance context is clear.
