Liability insurance
Liability insurance protects the insured against damage to property or health caused to third parties.
Sometimes the damage caused can amount to considerable sums and, without insurance, can cause significant financial loss to the company. Regardless of the sector in which the insured person operates, there is always a risk of damage to third parties.
- Product liability insurance covers damage to third parties caused by a product.

- Liability of the railway owner – According to the amendment to the Railways Act (27.01.2010), all railway owners must have a liability insurance policy. This policy covers potential damage to third party property (including private persons) and environmental pollution.
