“Property and casualty insurance” (P&C insurance) covers financial losses from damage to property and from liability to others. It is a separate field from life insurance and living benefits, with its own licensing and rules. In Quebec, the Civil Code calls this field “damage insurance”, as distinct from insurance of persons, which covers life, physical integrity and health.

Garrett Agencies focuses on life and health insurance and doesn’t offer property and casualty insurance.
