Information about fees and unit costs

Insurance is the payment of a premium by one to another to cover the risk that an unidentified event should occur, upon which a payment in the insured sum shall be made. This course prepares students to advise insureds and insurers alike on issues such as whether a policy covers the event which has occurred and whether there are grounds upon which all or part of a claim may be refused. In addition to principles of general insurance, the course also covers selected aspects of professional indemnity insurance, directors and officers insurance and a detailed study of the statutory framework in Queensland for compulsory third party motor vehicle insurance and workers compensation. Any one interested in litigation should study insurance law.
