As long as there are people willing to buy insurance policies they don't understand, to cover risks that don't need covering, there will be people claiming they've been mis-sold...........

But in the case of indemnity insurance, I assert many people HAVE been mis-sold. People are "willing to buy" these policies because solicitors are telling them to - solicitors don't believe there are such things as risks that don't need covering. So off everyone goes, spending a fiver here and twenty quid there to cover themselves (or, worse, someone ELSE) against one-in-a-million chances of four figure losses.
