Information and frequently asked questions about the Personal Liability Insurance

What is personal liability insurance?

Personal liability insurance is traditionally often concluded together with household contents insurance, but substantively has nothing to do with it. This is because you do not insure any objects with it; liability insurance instead covers particular claims in your personal life for which you have statutory liability. These include claims for which you are liable vis-a-vis third parties, because you unintentionally run into someone with your bicycle, carelessly knock over a valuable vase of an acquaintance or accidentally spill a glass of water over his laptop. Due to statutory liability provisions – so-called causal liabilities – you can also be held liable for claims caused e.g. by your children or pets. In addition, tenant claims are also covered in the personal liability insurance, i.e. damage and destruction of your personally occupied rental property.
