Reading insurance documents can sometimes feel like decoding a cryptic message.  In our recent survey, 71% of management consultants and project professionals get lost in insurance jargon when speaking to an insurer.  This can be frustrating and difficult on the part of customers; after all, you need to understand what you are buying.  Also you only look at insurance “stuff” once a year!
