How technical insurance works

 

Practical example

Alex Hunger owns his own bakery. His apprentice operated the kneading machine incorrectly, which is now not working at all. As a result,

  • All the dough has to be kneaded by hand. This means much more work and much less dough
  • The whole production process is delayed, and Alex’s bakery sells significantly fewer baked goods

 

Alex Hunger isn’t too worried, however, as he knows that his insurance will pay out for:

  • The cost of repairing or replacing the kneading machine
  • The cost of uninstalling and transporting the kneading machine
  • The loss of earnings resulting from the significant reduction in production
