Description
Insurance is often treated as a safety net, but many claims fail because policy conditions were misunderstood from the start. Claims fall apart due to non-disclosure, exclusions, or missed requirements. This session focuses on why insurance does not respond the way people expect. It highlights where assumptions are made and why professionals are often blamed when cover fails. Understanding these pressure points improves risk management and prevents dangerous reliance on insurance that does not actually protect the business.
