This article will bring you to the list of the biggest insurance companies in the US. Insider Monkey has recently published an arresting article about it. Insurance companies play a vital role in the United States’ economy, which is why there are so many. It is also a very important part of the financial service sector in the U.S. This insurance industry contributes more than 40% GDP of the financial organizations, and they employ more than 2 million people. Insurance is basically a process of transferring risk in exchange for payment. The insured give a fee to the insurer, and in exchange, they get compensated for their losses if any bad things happen. This kind of system is not a new concept in the world, and it’s actually quite old. Personally I consider insurance an extremely essential thing in our everyday life. For instance I have dogs and I insured them, which means either they are ill, get injured or make some trouble in the street, the insurance company will arrange all the damages.
