Property and casualty (P&C) insurance refers to a type of coverage that protects individuals, businesses, and organizations against financial losses resulting from property damage, liability claims, and related risks. It encompasses various policies, including homeowners, renters, auto, and commercial insurance. Property insurance provides compensation for damage or loss to physical assets, such as homes, vehicles, and belongings. It typically covers events like fires, theft, or natural disasters, helping policyholders rebuild or replace their property. Casualty insurance, on the other hand, focuses on liability protection. It covers legal obligations and financial responsibilities arising from injuries or damages caused to third parties by the policyholder or their property. This involves bodily injury as well as property damage liability in auto insurance and general liability in business policies. Property and casualty insurance is essential for mitigating financial risks associated with unexpected accidents, disasters, or legal claims, providing peace of mind and financial security to policyholders when the unexpected occurs.
