Insurance policies are plans that are provided by an insurer to the insured. The policy is a legal agreement by which the insured agrees to pay a certain amount as a premium to the insurer and the insurer in turn promises to cover any costs that may have to be incurred in the future for the particular person or object that has been covered by the policy. An Insurance Policy states the kind of premium to be paid, the coverage provided, the limits of liability, the policy limits, benefits, deductibles, term of insurance, and other factors.

When you approach an insurance company to purchase an insurance policy, the company gives you a quote that contains all the aspects like premiums to be paid, the benefits and so on. When you agree to the terms and submit the application, the insurance company reviews whether you are eligible to receive the insurance, and then insures you if found eligible. When the situation occurs for which you have taken the policy, you can approach the insurance company and file a claim to be paid for the expenses you incurred because of that situation.

A Life Insurance Policy provides the payment of the amount of the insurance to the family members on the death of the insured person. There are three parties involved in life insurance policy- the one who is insured, the one who insures it, and the policy holder. Generally the insured person and the policy holder are same person.
