Personal insurance refers to a broad category of insurance policies designed to protect individuals and their families from financial losses or liabilities due to various risks.

Personal insurance typically includes several types of coverage, such as:

2. Homeowners or Renters Insurance:

   • Homeowners insurance covers damages to a home and its contents, while renters insurance provides coverage for personal belongings within a rented property. Both policies may also include liability coverage.
      

3. Disability Insurance:

   • Offers financial protection by providing income replacement in case the insured becomes disabled and is unable to work.
      

4. Long-Term Care Insurance:

   • Covers the costs associated with long-term care, such as nursing home care, assisted living, or in-home care, in the event that an individual becomes unable to perform daily activities independently.
      

5. Umbrella Insurance:

   • Provides additional liability coverage beyond the limits of other personal insurance policies, offering extra protection in case of a major lawsuit.

It's advisable to assess personal insurance needs regularly and adjust coverage as necessary to ensure adequate protection. Consulting with an insurance professional can help individuals make informed decisions based on their unique situations.
