Article 57-A allows certain claims already submitted to an insolvent insurer to be presented to the FGA. This guide covers Portugal-resident injured parties and accidents in Portugal.
New replacement value may require actual repair or replacement, alongside age, notification and completion conditions. A stated insured sum does not settle those requirements.
Portuguese law allows one or more existing life policies as mortgage security if minimum requirements are met. Check the terms and distinguish the documents.
A reference to transport after discharge and a transport-booking service do not have the same effect. See how two arrangements differ in specific policy wording.
Recall costs before damage occurs cannot be inferred from product liability cover. Safety duties and an express policy extension serve different purposes.
Document reconstruction may link payment to evidenced expense and a specific settlement period. Arrange the timeline without assuming one deadline for all insurance.
Separate claim notification from the limitation period for a benefit. An open file or an email alone does not establish that every deadline has been preserved.
For temporary incapacity lasting more than 30 days, Portuguese law provides for proportional allowances. Separate these from annual pay and a permanent incapacity pension.
Predetermined benefits and expense reimbursement work differently. Check accumulation, the contractual exception and disclosure of other insurance for the same risk.
A right-of-action deadline differs from notifying an insurer. Understand the reference to formally communicated clinical discharge and prepare documents for competent assistance.
Selling the property and transferring insurance require separate checks. Understand the default rule, notification to the insurer and documents to review.
The economic total-loss test also includes salvage. See the addition, legal thresholds and a fictional example, separating classification from compensation.
Separate psychology, psychiatry and inpatient care. Learn how to check mental health cover, limits and procedures without assuming everything falls under outpatient cover.
A clause may extend to premises glass without insuring the building. Understand why that does not establish cover for frames, fittings or the entire frontage.
A general chemotherapy reference does not establish every technique’s position. Compare inclusions, exclusions and the answer for the actual procedure.
The period runs from delivery of the policy. Identify the discrepancy, request correction and retain evidence without confusing the request with cancellation.
CIF and CIP do not set the same default insurance level under Incoterms 2020. Separate the duty to arrange cover, risk transfer and the policy’s actual terms.
A partial surrender needs separate checks on the amount withdrawn, net proceeds and what remains in each objective or option. Prepare the questions before deciding.
