What do specialist insurance lawyers do?

In the area of personal insurance, specialist lawyers for insurance law specialize in particular in advising and representing clients who wish to claim benefits from their private health insurance.

This involves both coverage and liability lawsuits, for example in the areas of personal liability insurance, animal owner's liability insurance, business and professional liability insurance, and pecuniary loss liability insurance. Insurance law specialists also work in the area of D&O insurance, which protects managers against liability risks.

Insurance law specialists also have particular expertise in the context of recourse against service providers in private health insurance. In such cases, the question often arises as to whether a service, such as medical treatment, was actually necessary and to what extent the insurance company must pay for it. Here, too, our specialist lawyers support their clients in enforcing their claims.
