4. Home Insurance (Property Insurance): Provides financial protection for a homeowner in case of damage to their property or belongings due to events like fire, theft, or natural disasters. It also includes liability coverage if someone is injured on the property.

5. Travel Insurance: Covers risks associated with traveling, such as trip cancellations, lost luggage, travel delays, medical emergencies, and other unexpected events during travel.

6. Liability Insurance: Provides protection against legal claims or lawsuits for personal injury or property damage caused by the policyholder. It includes various types, like general liability insurance for businesses or professional liability insurance for individuals in certain professions.
