Perils and risks
The accidental occurrences that may endanger the life of assets are known as
peril.
Examples of perils are fire, floods, breakdowns, lightning, earthquake
Perils can defer in frequency and intensity depending upon the situations
Different kinds of people are exposed to different perils in different places
Perils are the events. The likely consequence losses or damage from perils are
known as risks
Insurance cannot prevent peril but it can help to prevent the likely damage that
the peril may cause
The objective of insurance is to compensate losses to the persons taking the
insurance policy
Insurance policy cannot be freely transferred without the consent of the insurer
The concept of insurance does not comes into play when the peril occurs. It
comes into action when the peril causes some financial damage
