Despite the fact that laws are intended to set rules that are in people’s advantage, the truth is that at a first glance they don’t seem to be that way. It isn’t easy for anybody to accept all kind of impositions regarding private aspects of their lives.
Yet laws are nothing but theorems demonstrated along ages by the actions of our ancestors. During thousands of years the human race understood that preventing is much better than fixing. No matter how fast can you extinct a fire is much better not to have it at all. Better to put off the fire in the chimney when you go to bed than to leave it unsupervised.
As much as we would like to, nobody can ever foresee in small details any chain of future events, no matter if we are discussing natural disasters or those produced by humans. All scientific studies proved that you can predict an earthquake or a tsunami just with a short time interval before its occurrence. Also humans do not have the precision of machines and they can make unintentional mistakes. All tests and experiments cannot prevent technical malfunctions from occurring.
“Mandatory” is the key-word that makes most of us to think they we are dominated and we actually lost control of our lives. Yet if we imagine that laws do not exist, we will realize soon enough that we actually apply all this laws instinctively. Let’s think about the home as we discussed above. It’s a big property, with economical value, but also with sentimental one. It is something to leave to our children and they should live to theirs and so on. So automatically we will think about all precautionary measures to protect you and our family against being homeless sometime. So we will think about home insurance even if the law doesn’t.
Insurance policies usually cover all kind of risks, reimbursing you that a variety of goods. According to the zone where the house is situated, the risks can be natural calamities, technological failures or unhappy occurrences. The insurance policy is actually a contract between the owner and the insurance company, in which the owner agrees to pay periodically a sum called premium and the insurance company agrees that in certain conditions they will reimburse the owner the value of some lost or damaged goods. The value of the premium is negotiated by the two parties according to their needs. Policies differ according to different region: nobody will insure against avalanches an individual living in a tropical country.
But what if we are living in a perfectly safe area, where there are no big natural calamities or other kind of perturbation to our daily routine? It will be an ideal situation which unfortunately does not happen. The most factor of all are humans and since people like to live in community, even if you are the most cautious man on Earth and do no mistakes, there is little chance all your neighbors to be the same.
Even if laws seem to be just literary creation, the result of some politician’s imagination, they are actually based on some truths, maybe even on some of those exposed above. During the history, people tend to collect all kind of things starting from art objects until small personal objects that have only sentimental value. It doesn’t matter if we earned our possessions or inherited them, because once they are lost replacing them it is a tremendous financial and spiritual effort. Indemnity insurance is a way to relieve us from this burden and ensure our peace by payment of small regular rates that doesn’t upset our budget.
Once human find happiness they always try to freeze things indefinitely in such a state, despite the fact that life is always on the move. Troubles are always coming unannounced and it is most likely then that we comprehend the importance of insurance.
The indemnity insurance represents reparation for owners that covered their goods against damage or loss through insurance policies.
