常見錯誤

✅I have all-risks insurance for my apartment.
💡The compound is always hyphenated; writing it as two separate words is incorrect.
❌All-risks insurance covers everything with no limits.
✅All-risks insurance covers loss from any cause unless the policy specifically excludes it.
💡Even all-risks policies have exclusions; the name means all risks are covered except those listed as excluded.
