Which type of insurance insures against the financial loss caused by the premature death of the insured?

Life insurance is designed to provide financial protection to survivors if the insured dies prematurely. It pays a death benefit to beneficiaries, helping replace lost income, cover debts, and fund ongoing needs like housing or children’s education. The other types address different risks: health insurance covers medical costs from illness or injury, property insurance protects physical assets, and casualty insurance covers liability and other non-property losses. In short, life insurance specifically targets the financial loss that can occur when the insured dies early.
