Understanding Third-Party Claims in Travel Insurance

Understanding Third-Party Claims in Travel Insurance

Understanding Third-Party Claims

• A third-party claim arises when someone claims you caused harm or property damage.

• Examples include injuring someone in a sports activity, causing damage to hotel property, or being involved in a car accident abroad.

Helps with Third-Party Claims

• Legal Defense Costs: Insurers may provide legal representation and cover legal defense costs if a lawsuit arises from a third-party claim.

• Financial Coverage up to Policy Limits: If you are found liable, your insurance can pay damages to the injured party, up to the policy limits.

Important Considerations Regarding Third-Party Claims

• Coverage Limits: Check personal liability coverage limits in your travel insurance policy.

• Excluded Activities: Certain high-risk activities might be excluded from liability coverage.

• Intentional Acts: Policies typically won’t cover situations where you intentionally caused harm or damage.

• Reporting Requirements: Notify your insurance company immediately about any incident that might result in a third-party claim.
