Types of Insurance Accounts

Insurance is designed to protect people, property and many other aspects of everyday life. A driver must have auto insurance for his vehicle before it can travel the road, but other types of insurance, such as homeowner's protection and healthcare coverage, are optional, despite the fact that they are essential for helping most people pay extensive bills. Almost anything can be insured, from your favorite feline to your trips to the local golf course.

Life Insurance

According to Medical-Billing-Coding, life insurance pays your beneficiaries in the event of your death. Benefits from the policy can be designated to pay for your burial expenses or the support your dependent children.

Auto Insurance

Medical-Billing-Coding states that automobile insurance is one of the most common forms of insurance in the world. Auto insurance covers engine and auto body damage caused by the insured driver, and depending on the policy, may cover full replacement of the vehicle.

Health Insurance

Economy Watch reports that health insurance, because it is so expensive, is popular as an added bonus to many employees' benefits packages. Coverage varies under different health policies. Most health insurance plans cover part of an insured's medical, hospital and prescription costs, with the insured paying a small sum as a co-pay.

Homeowner's Insurance

Medical-Billing-Coding reports that homeowner's insurance typically covers the home and its contents. It also protects the homeowner from liability if somebody is injured on the insured property. Additional insurance may be required for damage caused by floods or earthquakes.

Renter's Insurance

According to AmPmInsure, renter's insurance covers only the cost of household items when a person leases a home. The home itself is not covered by renter's insurance, as the dwelling must be covered under a homeowner's policy.

Disability Insurance

Golf Insurance

According to AmPmInsure, golf insurance covers the cost of a golfer's equipment, and also protects the player in the event he becomes injured or causes an injury to another person on the golf course. Damages may be caused when a golf ball goes astray or when a person loses control of a golf cart.

Cat Insurance

AmPmInsure reports that cat insurance will pay for injury, illness and hospitalization for a feline pet, along with the prevention of fleas. Not to be outdone, dogs may be insured for these purposes as well.

Travel Insurance
