Twas the night before Christmas, When all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, Not even a mouse.

Before the event: “A necessary Evil: A Waste of Money: I can’t be doing with it.” After the event:  “I never expected it to happen to me!” Nothing in life, except perhaps the knock of the taxman, causes the hackles to rise more than the agony of buying business insurance. The cost is an annoyance, at best, and very difficult to measure in terms of value for money, and so it typically gets the lowest of priorities in business life. That is...

As BIBA accredited claims advocates, we usually only hear about insurance claims that have gone wrong.  However, early signs are that some insurers are going the...

Customer expectation of their insurance policy is at the same time...

Mr Smith owned a timber holiday home located on a pleasant holiday park.  He let the property for short-term holidays and insured the home under a specialist holiday-let insurance policy arranged through Lloyd’s underwriters. The timber construction was duly declared, and insurers imposed a Fire Extinguisher Clause as follows: It is a condition of this hoilday-let insurance that two smoke alarms must be installed on the property. If you fail to comply… this insurance will not cover loss or damage caused...
