Every day we face the possibility of the occurrence of certain catastrophic events
that could lead to large financial losses. A spouse s earnings might disappear due
to death or illness; a car accident might result in costly repair bills or payments to
an injured party. Because financial losses from crises could be large relative to our
financial resources, we protect ourselves against them by purchasing insurance
coverage that will pay a sum of money if catastrophic events occur. Life insurance
companies sell policies that provide income if a person dies, is incapacitated by
illness, or retires. Property and casualty companies specialize in policies that pay
for losses incurred as a result of accidents, fire, or theft.
