Insurance Preparedness Session with Gippsland Community Legal Service.
Each year severe weather events and natural disasters around the world destroy assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars. In many cases, only a small portion of the loss is insured. While most insurance policies cover for bushfire, many do not include cover for damage due to other types of events.
Do you know if your insurance cover is sufficient to protect your family and assets?
The Mirboo North Community Recovery Working Group is delighted to host the Gippsland Community Legal Service who are kindly offering a free workshop on 20 February, 5.30 – 7.00 pm at the Baromi Centre, Mirboo North.
GCLS is the same organisation that provided free legal outreach services at Co-space between April and December last year.
This is an opportunity to learn about the different types of insurance: home and building; contents; farm insurance. Participants can discover the difference between sum insured versus total replacement cover, policy exclusions and risks, and find out what to do after an event, what to expect from the claims process and how to deal with disputes.
The session includes case study discussions and attendees are welcome to bring their own insurance documents to better understand their personal coverage and terms.
