As far as the liability insurance is a passive legal expenses insurance : the cost of the audit and legal protection wears regardless of the agreed in Germany sum insured of the insurer. The insurance cover applies only for looking at, any damage claims, not on those that are directed to the fulfillment of contractual obligations or have other objectives such as information or the omission of certain acts of the subject.
The insurer shall pay regularly to the victim, not the policyholder. This is not about his exemption claim against the insurer have (§ 156 I VVG). Only if the claim for damages is extinguished as by set-off or power, a power to the policyholder can take place. This plays in division of labor, production processes, particularly about the construction industry about offsetting a large role.
Scope of insuranceEdit
This insurance policy in addition to the individual companies and the carrier society the people who manage a business or an establishment (§ 102 VVG) and all other operating members (employees). During the exercise of their professional duties for the employer With the protection of the liability risks of employees working legal indemnity bill which is supported at the same time. Not subject to the claims of the insured against BHV are dependents or dependents of each other. In Switzerland also claims of dependents are insured under another, in Germany this is also covered in many different insurance coverage concepts.

Exclusions and inclusionsEdit
The "General Liability Insurance Conditions" are altered by industry standard "special conditions" over wide areas, mostly in favor of the policyholder. For all business customers clauses (as well as building land) must as occurring abroad to damage or those in their custody contained things are included. Also rules to activity damages are regularly changed in favor of the policyholder. About between the various stages of production standard agreements for quality assurance, the commercial law offered input control of the buyer on the supplier is often shifted back who sees himself exposed to increased liability risks. Also, such "over legal liability commitments" are covered by insurance. However, since each operation has an individual need for hedging purposes only professional information may ultimately provide security here. This offer not only the insurers themselves (via Directorate Agents, agencies and other external service) to numerous banks and often specialized to individual professions Insurance.
Significant exclusions are of pure economic loss and compliance requirements:
Pure economic loss is damage, which killed or injured a person not a thing is still destroyed or damaged. So one thing defective newly produced is not damaged, and the rising in their ingredients may be destroyed due to their uselessness. The further manufacturing expenses as well as lost profits and disposal costs a mere property damage. Pure economic loss are indeed regularly insured public liability insurance, but with the regular exception of those who are due to delivery or performance of the policyholder.
Claims for performance of contracts or taking their place claims are any claims for damages and in AHB point. 1.2 of clarification excluded.
Public and product liability insuranceEdit

Such damage may be in vain spent further processing or manufacturing costs as well as in the cost of replacement or even product recalls caused by errors of individual components of the final products. Such risks are hedged over the "conventional liability insurance" only for the insured persons and property. Reliable protection provides only for such commercial producers intermediate product liability insurance .
The professional indemnity insurance is a liability insurance for specific professions , the possible failure by consulting an increased risk of causing property damage have. These include lawyers ( professional liability insurance for lawyers ), tax consultants , architects and engineers , trustees and physicians, as well as an interpreter / translator. Therefore, should in this context instead of a professional liability actually of a pecuniary damage liability insurance of the question.
A public liability insurance can be completed either on its own as well in addition to a "real professional liability insurance". However, a public liability insurance makes sense in contrast to the professional liability insurance only for the protection of a company. They insured the company against financial losses, which are caused due to damage or injuries. Additionally, damages caused by the sole negligence of an individual employee covered. Therefore a liability insurance provides financial protection to persons and damage to property and for property losses (eg. Acquisition failure). [1]
In order to distinguishEdit
Professional or financial loss liability insurance
A lawyer contains a client out of ignorance before important details. Subsequently, this suffers a financial loss and makes this the responsible legal advice. In this case, the statutory property damage liability insurance would take over.
Professional or business liability insurance
In a law firm, a client slips on the freshly cleaned marble floors and sustains an injury. According to § 823 BGB, the lawyer would also be in this liability. If present, the liability insurance of the lawyer would defend or take the damage.

It does not matter whether the profession is carried out as part-time or full-time employment.
The professional indemnity insurance is a professional liability insurance for all individuals and companies in which a profession providing real financial loss - usually not personal or property damage - a result. This mainly affects workers from the service sector , the foreign professional reasons financial interests perceive and provide advice, begutachtend, checking, managing, vollstreckend, beurkundend and / or regulatory leader working for others.

The property damage liability insurance provides protection against so-called real financial losses. Basically, financial losses are even in private liability insurance insured, but usually at a much lower sum insured as to persons and property, because it can hardly be real financial losses as a result of private sector asset management duties can come. This is because in the private sector usually only of § 823 para. 2 BGB covered loss or injury occur ( improper pecuniary loss ).
In the insurance industry, therefore, is the inclusion of pecuniary damages in personal liability has long been controversial. However, different in the case of property damage liability insurance for professional reasons. Here come real financial losses often, the liability is due to the breach of contractual duties of care . These are damages that are still damage can not be assigned to persons, and do not derive from these.
