Automobile insurance, also known as auto insurance, car insurance and in the UK as motor insurance, is probably the most common form of insurance and may cover both legal liability claims against the driver and loss of or damage to the vehicle itself.
A homeowner's insurance policy in the US typically includes property insurance covering damage to the home and the owner's belongings, liability insurance covering certain legal claims against the owner, and even a small amount of health insurance for medical expenses of guests who are injured on the owner's property.
Insurance policies can be complex and some policyholders may not understand all the fees, regulation and coverages included in a policy.

 Property and Casualty Insurance Talking Points
Availability and affordability of insurance are critical to the continued growth of homeownership and the real estate industry, which has been the pillar of the economy.
Increases in insurance premiums have exacerbated long-standing problems with housing affordability in many parts of the nation and have even prevented some potential homebuyers from qualifying for a mortgage and buying a home; current homeowners are also put in jeopardy by the increased costs of insurance.
The average cost of homeowners insurance for the nation as a whole rose by about 13 percent in the past three years, but has risen even higher in many areas perceived to be higher risk areas, according to the Insurance Information Institute.

That type of insurance that is primarily concerned with the legal liability for losses caused by injury to persons or damage to the property of others.
This insurance protects the insured in the event a loss occurs for which he has assumed liability, express or implied, under a written contract.
For example, the difference between the coverage triggers of liability "occurrence" forms and "claims made" forms is that loss must occur during the policy period in the first case and the claim must be made during the policy period in the second case.

 Insurance
Insurance carriers assume the risk associated with annuities and insurance policies and assign premiums to be paid for the policies.
Insurance carriers tend to be large establishments, often employing 250 or more workers, whereas agencies and brokerages tend to be much smaller, frequently employing fewer than 20 workers (chart 1).
Insurance companies hire independent adjusters to represent their interests while assisting the insured, whereas public adjusters are hired to represent the insured’s interests against insurance carriers.

 Insurance underwriters
Most large insurance companies prefer college graduates who have a degree in business administration or finance with courses in accounting; however, a bachelor’s degree in any field—plus courses in business law and accounting—may be sufficient to qualify.
Property and casualty underwriters usually specialize in either commercial or personal insurance and then by type of risk insured, as in fire, homeowners’, automobile, marine, or liability insurance, or workers’ compensation.
In cases where casualty companies provide insurance through a single “package” policy covering various types of risks, the underwriter must be familiar with different lines of insurance.

 Property/Casualty Insurance Frequently Asked Questions - HUD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The ACC does not specifically state that flood insurance is a required coverage, unless the property is located in a flood plain, as determined by the Federal Governments National Flood Insurance Program.
Some insurance companies will include flood coverage along with their property policy, but it is usually subject to a very large deductible ($25,000 or more), and this would not be reasonable for most PHAs.
This means that the insurance will pay the cost to replace the destroyed or damaged property on the same premises with other property of comparable material and quality, or the actual amount spent to repair or replace, whichever is less.

 III - Property/Casualty Insurance Cycle
The insurance industry is made up of two distinct segments: property/casualty (which includes auto, home and business insurance) and life/health.
The property/casualty insurance industry cycle is characterized by periods of soft market conditions, in which premium rates are stable or falling and insurance is readily available, and by periods of hard market conditions, where rates rise, coverage may be more difficult to find and insurers’ profits increase.
A dominant factor in the property/casualty insurance cycle is intense competition within the industry.

Property insurance covers a business's building and its contents — money and securities, accounts-receivable records, inventory, furniture, machinery, supplies and even intangible assets such as trademarks — when damage, theft or loss occurs.
Many businesses purchase property insurance through a business-owner's policy (BOP), which bundles property and liability insurance into one policy; however, since the amount of coverage available in a BOP is generally lower than in a standard property-insurance policy, companies that require a lot of coverage usually stick with a separate policy.

Insurance is meant to give homeowners peace of mind, but an increasing number of policy holders are putting themselves at risk by neglecting to insure their home and contents adequately.
Guaranteed replacement means that if the home is destroyed or severely damaged, the insurance company will pay for it to be rebuilt, whatever the cost.
This is the most secure form of insurance for the homeowner, as it literally means the home is guaranteed to be replaced, but the deal carries a degree of risk to the insurer.
