Lets talk about Types of Insurable risk.
There are three types.

2. Property risks
3. Liability risks
Personal Risks:
Personal risks are those where chance of loss arising from a person’s own bodily injury, loss of life, or loss of income.
Examples of personal risks are :
Death , Physical disability resulting from accident or sickness, Old age,Unemployment
Property Risks Property risks are those where the chance of loss arising from the destruction of or damage to property. In Property risk, Losses are of two types.
1. Direct losses are those involving damage to or destruction of the property insured. And which effect the subject matter.
For example, there is fire in the house, and fire was happed due to smoking , and then house collapsed, in is case the fire is the direct loss , which damaged the house.
2. Indirect losses occur because of direct losses.
For example, there is fire in the house, and fire was happed due to smoking , and then house collapsed, and person was earning income form the rent of the house, if the house has damaged , that person is not earning any income.
in is case the fire is the direct loss , which damaged the house and loss of earning is the indirect losses which has occurred because of the direct loss.
