physical hazard - answer individual characteristic that increases
the chance of a cause of loss; exists because of a physical condition,
past medical history, or condition at birth (i.e. blindness)
moral hazard - answer tendency towards increased risk; involves
evaluating the character and reputation of the proposed insured;
these applicants may lie on an application for insurance, or have
submitted fraudulent claims in the past

of mind that causes indifference to loss, such as carelessness;
actions taken without forethought may cause physical injuries
peril - answer the cause of the loss insured against in an insurance
policy

the premature death of the insured

property or the loss of its income-producing abilities
casualty insurance - answer insures against the loss and/or
damage of property and resulting liabilities
loss - answer the reduction, decrease, or disappearance of value of
the person or property insured in a policy, caused by a named peril;
insurance provides a means to transfer loss
sharing risk - answer a method of dealing with risk for a group of
individual persons or businesses with the same or similar exposure
to loss to share the losses that occur within that group; a reciprocal
insurance exchange is a risk-sharing arrangement
transfer risk - answer the loss is borne by another party; will not
eliminate the risk of death or illness, but relieves the insured of the
financial losses these risks bring
avoidance of risk - answer eliminating exposure to a loss

accepts the responsibility for the loss before the insurance company
pays; planned assumption of risk by an insured through the use of

detectors in our homes, having an annual physical to detect health
problems early, or perhaps making a change in our lifestyles
due to chance - answer a loss that is outside the insured's control
, definite and measurable - answer a loss that is specific as to the
cause, time, place, and amount; an insurer must be able to
determine how much the benefit will be and when it becomes
payable
statistically predictable - answer insurers must be able to estimate
the average frequency and severity of future losses and set
appropriate premium rates
not catastrophic - answer insurers need to be reasonably certain
their losses will not exceed specific limits; this is why insurance
policies will typically exclude coverage for loss caused by war or
nuclear events
randomly selected and large loss exposure - answer there must be
a sufficiently large pool of the insured that represents a random
selection of risks in terms of age, gender, occupation, health and
economic status, and geographic location

the capital necessary to establish and operate the insurance
company and who share in any profits or losses

financial (capital and surplus) requirements set by the state
