An Insurance Policy is a contract that is made independently, between the insurance company and the future insured. It specifies the conditions of a general and particular nature, in order to govern the insurance contract. It specifies the payment by the insured, which is known as premium; where once signed and paid the insurance company will assume the corresponding risk under compensation.

The Insurance Policies were created based on the needs for protection against the risks of a possible future and uncertain event; that is, in the event of an accident that forces individuals and society, since contracting an Insurance Policy compensates for possible unfavorable repercussions, appearing as an element of savings and protection.
