Bad luck, health problems, financial difficulties, professional worries, family issues, heavy burdens from past mistakes: we all have to overcome challenges at some point. They can haunt us, keep us awake at night, and—even if we sometimes tend to overlook it—cause us insurance problems. At Assurances Multi-Risques, we receive calls every day from people experiencing various problems with their insurer due to a refusal or misunderstanding on the part of the latter. In this article, our goal is to share some tips on how to get insurance easily despite your unfortunate situation.

Various situations can cause headaches when it comes to your insurance policies. Here are a few examples:
- No return call from your insurance agent or broker;
