In today's world insurance is a fact of life. In some cases such as automobile liability or workmen's compensation, the law requires that it be carried. In commercial transactions such as buying a home, purchasing a car, or renting property, a person may be required to carry home owners insurance, flood insurance, comprehensive liability and renters insurance to complete the deal. Other times, common sense and good business practices suggest that insurance be carried. Life insurance, health insurance, commercial or comprehensive general liability (CGL) insurance, business interruption coverage, contents insurance, and excess or umbrella coverage are common examples of insurance that many people and companies carry to protect themselves. Then there are the insurance policies geared to the professional or particular types of work such as malpractice, Directors and Officers liability, E & O, and pollution coverage.

After paying expensive premiums for protection, when a loss or and accident occurs, you have the right to be fully compensated or protected up to the limits of your policy. The law requires the insurance companies to treat you fairly, evaluate your claim in a timely manner, pay all claims that are covered or provide a defense in the case of a claim asserted against you. If a company fails to do any of these things, then it may be required to pay damages, costs and attorney's fees, in addition to the money due under the policy. There are laws that govern the actions of the insurance companies and how they treat you.
