everyone knows you can't claim for the same event twice on 2 different insurance policies.
You can have two (or more) different life insurance policies, and they can all pay in full if you die, provided all the terms, conditions and disclosure conditions have been met.
Seems to be a media beatup, everyone knows you can't claim for the same event twice on 2 different insurance policies.
Same as taking out two home insurance policies and claiming it from them both if it burns down.
Asset insurance seems to be different. You can have as many different house/car/boat policies as you want to pay premiums for, and claim on all of them, but you must disclose this fact to each of them, and the total pay out from all of them will only be to the value of your house/car/boat, ie they will all offset against each other.
