Does this company really insure anything????
I once bought a policy for an airplane that read kinda like these people
quote. In the end, the policy excluded even me, for whom the policy was
supposed to cover. The "Me" exclusion was discovered in the technical
lanugage by my attorney when I had to sue the insurance company. As it
turns out, I won, but it was an aggravation and did cost me some money
before it was over.
