4.1.Types Of Insurances:
Two Types.. 1st insurance covers claims over losses of property for instance in a fire. Third party insurance is a contract
between the insured, the insurer for the benefit of a third party. Unlike 1st insurance, third party insurance must establish
the insured’s liability. It is called third party because three people are involved: the insurer, the insured and the person
who caused the accident. 1st insurance covers three types of risks: life assurance, personal accident insurance and health
insurance. Persons injured in motor vehicle accidents may claim special and general damages so are people who have not
been directly involved in an accident for instance those suffering mental breakdown because of injuries sustained by a
close relative or witnessing such accidents.
