Property/casualty insurance is insurance on homes, cars, and businesses.

Casualty insurance mainly protects a person or business against legal liability for losses caused by injury to other people or damage to the property of others.
Every business enterprise today is subject to a wide range of physical, legal, and economic risks. Each of these risks are rigorously scrutinized by an enterprise itself and its various stakeholders, including shareholders, lenders, suppliers, distributors, buyers, employees, and others. Given the scope of these interests, virtually no type of risk is overlooked.
If you own anything, you are subject to the risk that your property will be damaged or destroyed, or lost or stolen, or rendered unusable for some reason. The modern property/casualty insurance industry arose from “fire” insurance for tangible property at fixed locations on land, and from “marine” insurance for tangible property in transit, either on land or water. Today, property risk and insurance are being fundamentally transformed with the growth of intangible property, principally data and information on computer networks.
