Warentransportversicherung

This monograph deals with transport insurance and fills a long-standing gap in the specialized literature. The focus of the book is on the goods transport insurance as defined by the Insurance Contract Act (VVG). This insurance is first contextualized within the system of Swiss insurance law. The presentation covers important aspects in this area, from insurance brokerage to the formation and content of the insurance contract, and up to the occurrence of the insured event, incorporating the generally accepted terms and conditions (ABVT, ABVS, PB) in the market. Furthermore, it addresses common risk distributions among multiple insurers as well as specific issues related to the recourse of the transport insurer. This volume is aimed at professionals working in trade, logistics, and transport, as well as in the insurance industry, as well as consulting lawyers and judges in these fields.
