Insurance and Liability Law

Insurance serves to provide economic protection for persons, valuables or consumer goods against damage caused by events or actions by third parties or nature. According to liability standards, contractual liability provisions always come into play when damage occurs on the occasion of the execution of contracts. All cases that do not fall within this scope are covered by non-contractual liability. If no third-party fault can be proven, a loss cannot be passed on. In these cases, there is causal liability, which makes it possible to recover damages without proving fault. This is particularly important in the Swiss Code of Obligations, in liability law and in road traffic legislation.

Accordingly, insurance and liability law can involve different areas of law. In order not to lose the overview, laypersons should seek the opinion of a lawyer in all insurance and liability law matters.

Among other things, we advise our clients on finding policies, evaluating risks, identifying claims in the context of natural disasters and represent them in dispute resolution. These matters can sometimes be extremely emotional as well as nerve-wracking. Our experienced legal experts will support you in an advisory capacity throughout the process and answer any questions that may arise. In doing so, we also draw on our economic expertise.

We also prepare expert opinions and support you in enforcing your rights under the respective policy. In doing so, we always proceed with the utmost care and find the optimal solution tailored to your individual needs.

In disputes between two or more parties, we first seek an out-of-court settlement in every case. To this end, we contact the legal counsel of the other party and negotiate possible options and solutions in the interest of both parties. Should this approach prove unsuccessful, we are well prepared to represent our clients before all Swiss courts and authorities in an experienced and confident manner. In doing so, the enforcement of your interests is always our top priority.
