Since modern times, property insurance has been widely recognized as a protective measure for families, homes, property and businesses.

By definition, insurance is an agreement between one party and the insuring company, wherein the insured pays a premium in order to receive financial protection or compensation in the event of covered losses.

While some forms of insurance are voluntary, there are certain types of coverage that are mandatory by governing law or as dictated by your lending company.

Insurance Required by Law or Other Entity

• Auto Insurance
  Most US states require you to carry general liability auto insurance. In the event of an accident you cause, this insurance will pay for damages to another’s property and losses to others incurred as a result of injury or death.
  
  
• Homeowners Insurance
  Though this is not a requirement by law, a mortgage or lending company may require you to purchase the coverage for their protection.
  
  
• Workers Compensation
  This form of insurance is a legally required coverage to protect both the business owner and employees in the event an injury or disease is attributed to work.
  
  
• Unemployment and Disability Insurance
  These are also legally required forms of business coverage.
  
  
• Commercial Auto Insurance
  This legally required business insurance protects company vehicles and personal vehicles used for business purposes.

It goes without saying that other forms of coverage for a family, homeowner, renter, property and business owner are options that can save you from major financial losses.
