Here's an interesting 'family' account of insurance....

My extended family (father's cousin) ran one US syndicate for Lloyd's (they hated him BTW). He insured the Trade Center towers. When they fell he had to fight like hell to try to get money out of Swiss Re (Reinsurance is essentially insurance for insurers....) He had a rather heated battle in court in London where he was praised for his testimony & things were looking great to finally get their money out of Swiss Re, but he was later found back at his apartment dead of unknown causes. The Swiss are even harder than the rest in paying out.....

Like HR, insurance companies are NOT your friend.
