1.
For the customer - or potential customer - of an insurer, insurance risk is the risk of financial loss or other adverse effects resulting from failures in relation to the organisation's insurance purchasing activities.
A simple example would be failing to pay an insurance premium on time, resulting in the organisation being uninsured.
2.
For an insurer, a primary insurance risk is the risk of making losses on the provision of insurance.
The most common cause is a greater than expected number or value of claims, or both.
