The Hanrieder family: One stroke of fate after another - how a fire changed everything and insurance doesn't help.

The Hanrieder family: One stroke of fate after another - how a fire changed everything and insurance doesn't help.

According to a report from www.tz.de, the Hanrieder family has had a difficult year. In May, their lottery business was destroyed by a devastating fire. Despite insurance that was supposed to pay 178,000 euros in compensation, the family is in great financial difficulty. However, the insurance company refuses to pay and the family now has to deal with debt collection agencies and possible repossessions. These circumstances make it difficult for the family to get back on their feet and they fear they will not be able to rebuild their beloved lottery business.

The impact on the market and the industry is significant. The Hanrieder family had been in the industry for 21 years and suffered not only personal but also financial losses as a result of the loss of their business. This shows how threatening such unforeseen events can be for small entrepreneurs. Furthermore, this can also affect trust in insurance companies, as the Hanrieder family is now involved in a legal dispute with their insurance company and is in financial distress.

For consumers, this means that trust in the safety and reliability of insurance could be undermined. The Hanrieder family was dependent on insurance for compensation due to the defective refrigerator that caused the fire. By refusing to pay and canceling legal protection insurance, this could lead to consumers becoming more concerned about insurance coverage.

Overall, this case highlights the serious impact that a fire can have on a small family business and the importance of preparing for unforeseen events. This family symbolizes many other entrepreneurs who can lose their livelihood due to similar strokes of fate. The industry and consumers must learn from this and be better prepared to face such crises in the future.
