Third Party Liability
Insurance coverage The Third Party Liability insurance covers
liability for damage caused when using the vehicle in traffic and where
liability according to law and legal practice can be imposed upon the insured or
any person using the vehicle with his permission. It is valid in all European
countries except former Soviet Union. It is also valid in Israel, Morocco,
Tunisia and Turkey. When visiting former Soviet Union a special insurance must
be signed at the border. Regarding validity in former Yugoslavia we kindly ask
you to contact the factory.
The insurance company will cover the legal
expenses of the insured if legal proceedings have been instituted against him
due to an injury or damage covered by the insurance. However, only reasonable
expenses, justified by the company's interest in the proceedings, will be
compensated. No money will be paid in respect of fines or for legal expenses in
connection with any action against the insured.
Insurance Against
Material Damage to Own Vehicle The validity of this insurance covers
the same countries as indicated for the Third Party Liability Insurance. It is
also valid during transportation between and within these countries and
covers:
Damage to the vehicle.
Damage to accessories and tools included in the price of the
vehicle as well as any other equipment which can be considered normal for
vehicles of the same kind and manufacture as the one insured, on the
understanding that the property in question was always attached to or normally
kept in the vehicle.
Damage to dismounted parts of the vehicle and dismantled
equipment provided they were stored with normal care and attention. This relates
solely to property designated for use in and on the vehicle. The insurance does
not cover trailers coupled to the vehicle.
Personal Accident Insurance This coverage is
provided at no additional premium costs. This personal accident insurance covers
the driver and every authorized passenger. The amount insured is doubled if
there is more than one person in the car when the accident occurs. In this case,
such an amount will be shared by the passengers in the car. The insurance
applies to accidents directly connected with the steering, use operation,
loading and unloading and parking of the car. The insurance covers any injuries
which the insured or passengers in the vehicle suffer involuntarily and
resulting from sudden external force being applied to his body.
