Orientation when something has happened
Document the event and find the right contact
A loss or claim can be stressful. These general notes help you organise information but do not replace emergency services or the requirements of your policy. Protecting people and addressing immediate danger always come first.
If there is immediate danger
Move yourself and others to safety and use the locally responsible emergency services. Take only measures that are safe and reasonable. This page is not an emergency service.
Record facts objectively
Examples include date, place, involved items and clear photos taken from a safe position. Record facts without admitting liability or presenting assumptions as certain.
Identify the policy and contact
Check which contract may be relevant and use the reporting route stated there. Deadlines, evidence and further steps depend on the case and policy; generic internet lists cannot determine them reliably.
Exchange documents securely
Claim details may contain sensitive information about you or other people. Do not put such information in public forms; use only a secure transfer route explicitly intended for it.
Examples by type of event
A liability case may centre on a third-party claim, contents on movable possessions, building insurance on the insured structure and motor insurance on a vehicle event. These are simplified examples; classification depends on the specific policy.
This content provides general orientation. Situations and benefits mentioned are examples; the specific need, policy terms and individual advice are decisive. It does not state a price, acceptance or cover decision.

Frequently asked questions
Which reporting deadline applies?
There is no reliable blanket answer. Check the documents and contact the person named there without unnecessary delay.
Should I dispose of damaged items immediately?
Do not make a general assumption. Safety and limiting damage may require action, while evidence may also be needed. Clarify the approach for the specific case.
