Review an insurance policy you have. It can be a personal auto policy, health insurance, life insurance, renters insurance, whatever. If you can't find one, ask a friend or family member if you can review theirs. After introductions, we'll go around the room and have each of you answer the following questions about the policy: 1. What kind of policy is it? 2. Generally speaking, what risks does it cover? 3. Tell us something surprising about the policy, such as an exclusion, condition, or other provision that you found interesting, worrisome, or unusual. |
