Are pure risks always insurable?
Pure RisksPure risks, or those that have the possibility of loss or no loss, but no possibility of gain, are insurable, but there are criteria that must be met before they will be insured. So, no, they are not ALWAYS insurable. For example, a person who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer who attempts to acquire insurance will generally be refused. Though it is a pure risk because the person will either live (no loss) or die (loss), factors that determine eligibility for insurance are not met for that person. Likewise, a homeowner who has had previous fires in their homes may not be able to find insurance because they are considered too great a risk to insure, even though there will either be no fires (no loss) or there will be (loss) at their current home.There is another type of risk that is not insurable. Speculative risk, or risk with a possibility of gain, is that type of risk.
What is the difference between pure and speculative risk?
1. Pure Risk situations are those where there is a possibility of loss or no loss. There is no gain to the individual or the organization. WHERE AS Speculative Risks are those where there is a possibility of gain as well as loss. The element of gain is inherent or structured in such a situation. 2. Pure risks are generally insurable while the speculative ones are not. 3. The conceptual framework of the risk pooling can be applied to the pure risks, while in most of the cases of speculative risks where it is not possible. However, there may be some situation where the law of mathematical expectation might be useful. 4. Speculative risk carry some inherent advantages ti the economy or the society at large while pure risks like uninsured catastrophes may be highly damaging. 5. In pure risk, for example - a car meet with an accident or it may not meet with an accident. If the insurance policy is bought for the purpose, then if accident does not occur, there is no gain to the insured. Contrarily, if the accident occurs, the insurance company will indemnify the loss. In speculative risk, for example - if you invest in the stock market, you may either gain or lose on stocks.
