Many of us do not realise the value of the everyday items carried in our briefcase / rucksack / handbag. It's only when something goes wrong and we have to replace these products that we understand the true value, both personally and financially of our everyday gadgets. Insurance helps cover the cost for replacement or repair when things do go wrong.
