A peril may be excluded, unavailable from a particular insurer or difficult to insure in a particular market.
The distinction that matters
These are different situations; one declined quote does not establish a universal legal rule that a risk is uninsurable.
What to check
- Ask why the risk was declined.
- Distinguish exclusions from unavailable capacity.
- Consider prevention and specialist advice.
Example to discuss
A property owner asks whether flood is excluded by the proposed policy or unavailable for the address across the relevant market.
This is a hypothetical comparison, not a customer claim or a determination of cover.
