General Insurance is a type of insurance that provides financial protection against losses or damages other than those related to life. It covers a wide range of risks such as accidents, illness, theft, fire, natural disasters, and legal liabilities.

General insurance policies are usually issued for a short period, most commonly one year, and require the policyholder to pay a premium in exchange for coverage. If an insured event occurs, the insurance company compensates the policyholder for the financial loss as per the policy terms and conditions.

Common types of general insurance include health insurance, motor insurance, home insurance, travel insurance, and commercial insurance. These policies help individuals and businesses manage unexpected expenses and reduce financial risks, ensuring security and peace of mind.
