Yuh eva sign one insurance paper an feel like yuh just agree fi sell yuh soul? Mi nah lie, nuff Jamaicans look pon dem insurance policy like dem reading Latin – small writing, pure long talk, and hidden trap.

Today mi ago drop it inna plain patwa – so yuh can sight di fine print trick dem before it mash yuh pocket.
2. Di Real Pain Point (Why Wi Stress Out)
Inna Jamaica right yah now, accident, sickness, hurricane, burglary – all a dem tings can bun down yuh saving inna one blink. Nuff man an woman tek out policy cause dem waan di security. But when di “incident” really happen, dem shock seh di insurance company a tek back, a delay, or a claim cyaah pass cause a one likkle clause hidden ina di contract. Dat mash up trust, mash up family plan, mash up future.
3. Di Misconception Dem (Wah Nuh Work)
-
Myth 1: “Once mi have insurance, mi safe.”
Wrong! Some policy only cover half a di tings yuh assume. -
Myth 2: “Di agent gi mi all di truth.”

5. Expert Insight – Di Big People Ting
Juboy dig deep and check one lawyer friend weh specialise in insurance claim. Him seh di main trap a “Acts of God” clause. Di company use it fi duck outta payout when hurricane or earthquake hit. Him advice: push fi rider clause weh specifically cover natural disaster. Yes, it cost likkle more, but better dan bawl later.
