PPL and Insurance

I did a search on the forums on this subject to no avail.

I am currently undergoing PPL training and not flying solo yet. I'm wondering what needs to change in terms of Insurance policies going forward. The two main policies I have are Life insurance ( which doesn't cover DANGEROUS activities eg flying) and mortgage protection which I haven't looked into yet. Does anyone know how much extra costs are involved in insuring DANGEROUS activities?

For the foreseeable future I will only be flying club aircraft either under instruction or on hire so I'm not querying insurance cover on my own LA just yet.

I don't like insurance companies. I have close experience of a company wiggling out of paying up a policy. The result was severe hardship for the policy holder. I therefore make a point of telling them everything I feel is relevant to maintaining proper cover. Otherwise IMO insurance is a total waste of money.
