Insurance Law

From policy to indemnity.

The true scope of a policy is often understood only once the insured event occurs.

Overview

In insurance law the source of a dispute is often a difference of interpretation over the scope of the policy, its exclusions and the parties' obligations. The real protection a policy offers becomes visible only when the insured event occurs and a claim is made, which is why reading the policy correctly from the outset matters.

The firm handles disputes arising from insurance contracts on both the insured and the insurer side. From an application to the Insurance Arbitration Commission through to court proceedings, it brings technical knowledge together with legal experience at every stage, so that the client completes the process without loss of rights.

Points to Note

What matters
in practice.

The points that most affect the outcome in this area, and are most often overlooked.

Notice period and obligations

When the insured event occurs it must be reported to the insurer within time. Breach of the notice obligation may lead to the compensation being reduced or refused.

Insurance arbitration

Where the conditions are met, disputes may be resolved more quickly before the Insurance Arbitration Commission. The choice of route directly affects the duration of the process.

Limitation

Insurance compensation claims are subject to defined limitation periods. Missing a period may mean that even a well-founded claim can no longer be raised.
