Professional liability and legal expense insurance

The union has insured its members with a professional liability and legal expense insurance policy in the event of damage incurred during the pursuit of their professions.

Who is insured?

Members of member associations who are employed, student members of the union’s member associations when they are working or office-bearers or employees in matters related to the insured person’s own employment or service.

The policy also covers student members in matters related to studying or internship.

Individual professionals who are members of a member association who own a company alone and do not employ anyone, in matters related to the exercise of a profession.

Claiming a reimbursement requires that the membership of the union has lasted for at least ten months at the time of the accident and that all due membership fees have been paid. If membership has lasted for less than two years, the grounds for a dispute or charge must have been developed during the membership.

What does the insurance reimburse?

The professional liability insurance covers personal, material and property damage that you have caused by your mistake or negligence to your employer, colleague or a third party and for which you are legally liable. The legal expense insurance covers legal expenses in civil and criminal actions regarding your own employment or service and in matters handled as administrative procedures or the administration of administrative law. The reason for which a legal expense is claimed must be a charge or a contested claim.
