Before you buy an insurance policy, be sure to ask your service provider about what the policy does not cover (referred to as 'exclusions’).
Ignoring this could lead to a lot of frustration in the event the risk is ‘uncovered’ such as instances of loss or damage.

Ever heard the term ‘subrogation’ whilst filling a claim and wondered what it meant? Well, subrogation refers to a legal right granted to an insurance company to pursue costs (repairs, medical fees, etc.) from the at-fault driver’s insurer.

Why your insurer might refuse your claim
There may be a good reason why your insurer has made their decision about your claim. Before you do anything, check your policy document to make sure that what you want to complain about is covered by your policy.
