I just realised that English describes insurance in (at least) two ways.

Sometimes, we describe what is being insured:
Car insurance. Home and Contents insurance. Pet insurance. Life insurance.

Sometimes, we describe the event that is being insured against:
Fire insurance. Bad weather insurance. Death insurance.
