- Challenge due to breach of pre-contractual disclosure obligations – what really matters in disability insuranceWhich pre-existing conditions you must disclose, when the insurer loses its rights, and where the line between legal action and fraudulent misrepresentation lies: Is your disability insurance accusing you of concealing an illness when you took out the policy?
