In this episode you will learn: - Risk is the uncertainty of loss; only pure risk (loss or no loss) is insurable, not speculative risk (chance of gain or loss). - A peril is the direct cause of a loss, such as fire or wind. - A hazard increases the chance of a loss and can be physical (icy roads), moral (dishonesty), or morale (carelessness). - A direct loss is the physical damage itself, while an indirect loss is the financial consequence, like lost income. - Exam questions often use homeowner, auto, and commercial scenarios to test the distinctions between these core concepts.
