The protection was not at home services – Västerbotten Courier

A 86-year-old woman in Västerbotten was robbed of jewelry and a credit card in their sheltered housing. But despite home insurance insurance company would not pay compensation because she left the key to the home service, reports Norran.

– It was a shock. We contacted consumer advice and Consumers Insurance Bureau and was told that you only get coverage of some insurance when you have home care, says the woman’s daughter told the newspaper.

The municipality had also forgotten to set a folder of the woman which includes a booklet about what can apply for home insurance when you left out the key would be, according to their families.

Earlier did not replace insurance thefts where the key left out, but now some of the companies “have realized that they need to do something the weaker groups, “said Peter Stark, an attorney at consumers insurance Bureau. His advice to those who have home care or living in nursing homes is to check whether protection exists – and if it does not change company to one that has the extra protection, writes Norran.
