Understanding General Insurance: Protecting What Matters with United Insurance

August 5, 2025

In an unpredictable world, protecting the things that matter most your health, assets, business, and travel is more crucial than ever. General Insurance plays a vital role in safeguarding individuals and businesses from financial losses due to unforeseen events like accidents, natural disasters, theft, and liability claims. At United Insurance, we offer a wide range of general insurance products tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients across Pakistan.

Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, traveler, or farmer, our general insurance policies are designed to offer peace of mind and comprehensive protection. In this blog, we’ll explore what general insurance is, its types, benefits, and why United Insurance is your trusted partner for complete insurance solutions.

What is General Insurance?

General Insurance refers to non-life insurance policies that cover various types of risks and losses excluding life. These include losses due to theft, fire, natural disasters, travel issues, accidents, and other liabilities. It is typically a short-term contract that provides coverage for a specific period, usually one year, and is renewable annually.

Unlike life insurance that offers a monetary benefit after the policyholder’s death or maturity of the policy, general insurance compensates the insured for actual financial losses suffered due to insured perils.
