Australians spend billions of dollars each year on insurance. But do we understand the policies we take out, our entitlements, and are insurers helping or hindering the process?

Lawyers Barney Gask and Tim White, TGB partners who deal with insurers on behalf of their clients every day, talk about the key issues.

The conduct of insurers was put in the spotlight recently, when the CommInsure scandal broke. Allegations of dodgy practices, questionable medical assessments and general poor treatment of claimants were made public.

The concerns extended beyond CommInsure and to the insurance industry in general.

What can consumers do to avoid rejected claims, protracted processes and paying for what they don't need?

On this episode of Law and Life, find out about:
- What to do before taking out a policy
- The importance of an insurance health check
- Contesting rejected claims
- And more

The Law and Life podcast is brought to you by Tindall Gask Bentley Lawyers, a leading Australian law firm, with special guests.
