In return, the insurer guarantees monetary protection to the insured in case of any accident or mishaps. If the insured dies in accident, financial help is provided to his family members. Thus, life insurance is necessary as it provides protection to not only for the insured but also to the family of insured in case of any unwanted disaster.
