It is complicated and time-consuming to find a good insurance service for clients who do not deal with insurance questions on daily basis. Currently there are over 14 licences insurance companies and 11 branches of foreign insurance companies in Latvia. If you have entered into an insurance contract independently, your connection with the specific conditions of the insurance market does not end there – you can expect labour- and time-consuming procedures to claim an insurance indemnity in the case of an insurance event. You will need to go through the lengthy terms and conditions of your insurance contract and the included exceptions in order to understand what to do and what insurance indemnity you are entitled to. If any document you submit to the insurer is not drawn up correctly or properly according to the terms and conditions of the insurance contract, the insurer can refuse to pay out the indemnity. It is worth noting that every year tenths of claims against insurers for the payment of indemnity are brought to court.
