All businesses – from the biggest to the smallest – run the risk of incurring unforeseen losses. For instance, a grocer may lose stock in a flood, a factory may be destroyed by fire or a tailor may lose materials in a burglary. Total catastrophe can often be avoided if your business has been adequately insured.
Business insurance protects against unforeseen damage or loss which could jeopardise your company. These include business interruption cover (e.g. where your business is forced to close due to a pandemic), and business insurance against stock and equipment loss caused by fire, theft, or other acts of God. You enter into a contract with the insurer that against payment of premiums it guarantees to compensate you for loss. Without such cover your business could suffer a loss from which it may never recover.
If you own a home, you need both homeowner’s insurance and household insurance. While homeowner’s insurance covers the structure of your dwelling – the foundations, the walls, and the roof – household insurance covers the contents of your home, such as your appliances, furniture, and personal belongings.

The insurance lawyers team at Bregman Moodley Attorneys Inc can guide you by interpreting the clauses in the insurance policy (such as any exclusion clauses in terms of which benefits will not be paid) and how to proceed against the insurance company should it repudiate a claim (e.g. where the rejection is against public policy or grossly and palpably unfair).
