No matter how careful we are, accidentally caused damage to the property, health or life of another person can happen to everyone in daily life. Compensation of such damages to another person is the responsibility of each person; however, you and your company can delegate the compensation of these losses to us, if you acquire civil liability insurance for your company.
Our advantages:
Every person can insure his or her general civil liability. It can protect the company from unpleasant experience that can expose business to danger and harm the company’s reputation. Although the director of a company cannot really keep track of each employee’s conduct at work, the company has civil liability for each of its employees and has to assume the liability for all business processes irrespective of whether it is in the production or service provision.
Each type of business is unique and each has very specific processes during which fatal errors or accidents can happen that can cause losses to other persons.
For many types of business, general civil liability insurance is mandatory pursuant to the requirements of the regulatory enactments of the Republic of Latvia in order to get a permit to run a particular business.
We offer the general civil liability insurance for the following types of companies to which the general civil liability insurance is a mandatory requirement:
We identify potential specific situations in each type of business, therefore we also offer civil liability insurance to the following types of companies, which can acquire insurance voluntarily:
