Natural hazard insurance: Why it is so important and what you should pay attention to in the event of damage

Der Artikel beschreibt, dass reguläre Hausrat- oder Wohngebäudeversicherungen oft nicht ausreichen, um Schäden durch Schmelzwasser und Flusspegelanstiege abzudecken. Stattdessen empfiehlt sich eine Elementarschadenversicherung, die zusätzlich zu den regulären Versicherungen abgeschlossen werden kann. Im Schadensfall ist es wichtig, die Schäden umgehend zu dokumentieren und sich schnellstmöglich an die Versicherung zu wenden, um den Schaden zu melden und weitere Schritte abzustimmen.

Impact on the market and consumers

The recommendation to take out natural hazard insurance could lead to increased interest in this type of insurance. Due to increasing demand, insurance companies could adjust their offers and conditions in order to remain competitive. For consumers, this could result in a wider choice of insurance products and potentially cheaper rates. On the other hand, premiums for natural disaster insurance could also increase due to the increased risk of natural disasters.

Recommendations for consumers

Consumers should consider taking out natural hazard insurance, especially if they live in areas with an increased risk of flooding or natural disasters. It is advisable to compare different offers and pay careful attention to the coverage and conditions. In the event of damage, it is very important to report the damage quickly to the insurance company and document the damage in order to ensure smooth processing.
