A general insurance company offers insurance policies to secure health, travel, motor vehicle, home and business which can help the policyholder in case of an unexpected event, he added.
Mian Shahid said that insurance works on the principle of transfer of financial risk from the insured to the insurer which results in reduced financial burden on shoulder of a policyholder in case of an unforeseen event, he added.
He said that family is the most important asset for anyone therefore it is very important to completely secure family to face any emergency.
He further said that none of us can see the future or predetermine the future events and with insurance in place, any financial stress will be taken care of, and the policyholder can focus on other important things like recovery.
Having insurance offers financial security and complete peace of mind which is a priceless thing in these difficult times, he said.
