The term 'risk management' was probably first used in the United States in the early 1950s. It developed out of the dissatisfaction of US Commercial Insurance managers with the lack of premium credit they were being given by the insurance industry for the loss-prevention methods that were being introduced for property risks and the desire to retain more risk within large US corporations. In parallel with this activity, the universities in the United States extended their insurance curricula to include risk and especially mathematical and statistical methods of calculating loss probabilities. The development for many years was slow, but gradually the concepts of risk analysis, loss prevention and...

If the car that hit you has a $50,000 insurance policy, that's the maximum that can usually be won in a lawsuit or settlement. The insurance company will not settle with the injured person for more than the policy, and any settlement will have to release the driver and owner from further liability. While it is possible to go after the owner and/or driver, this is usually much more difficult and is extremely rare. In bad faith cases these limits can be exceeded. Bad faith occurs when the insurance company does something wrong, leading to a verdict of more than the policy...
