Insurance gap<\/b><\/p>\n
The experienced insurance broker will point out two common gaps in the VSH conditions to his VSH client: On the one hand, the lack of cover if the insured person in particular “knowingly violates an order, instruction, decision, power of attorney or in any other way”.
\nThis can be mitigated by individual agreements or special cover concepts for the policyholder. Occasionally, the insurer denies coverage by relying on the claimant’s arguments ? not always with success. On the other hand, the insurer may invoke the dangerous serial loss clause.<\/p>\n
Broker liability under the serial damage clause<\/b><\/p>\n
A serial damage arises if the damage occurs ?on the same or a similar
\nsource of error, by act or omission?. Then it is
\nonly one case of damage, so that the sum insured is only available once for all damages. Some insurance broker ?sells? this to his customer wrongly
\nwith the words “if you, as a tax consultant, incorrectly balance the occupational pension scheme in the annual accounts of various clients, then this is regarded as a claim ? so we take out a higher sum insured right away”.<\/p>\n
The insurance premium is then unnecessarily high ? a classic error of advice on the part of the insurance broker.<\/p>\n
The pitfall of the serial damage clause<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe intermediary had not sufficiently tested the concept ? numerous investors later demanded compensation for damages. The intermediary was
\nCover granted to the extent of the sum insured once ? den
\nremaining damage was to be borne by the intermediary himself, and would thus have been overindebted. Therefore, the agent sued his VSH insurer and won before the BGH (judgement, file number IV ZR 19\/03<\/a> as well as VersR 1991, 873<\/a>).<\/p>\n
\nThe BGH narrows down the concept of serial damage, and requires a narrow
\nlegal and economic context. Specifically, it can lead to
\nserial damage afterwards only come, if the always same or similar
\nbreach of duty has occurred with the same customer! If mandates are handled independently of each other, a serial loss is therefore ruled out; such mandates do not form a community of fate within the meaning of the serial loss clause.<\/p>\n
\nInsurance law in general to be interpreted very narrowly are further arguments.
\nIf there are gaps in the insurance cover, the insured person must be aware of these.
\nbe strongly clarified ? otherwise, such clauses should only be considered from the perspective of
\nof a policyholder who does not have specialist knowledge of insurance law
\ninterpreted (BGH, IV ZR 318\/02<\/a>).
\nFurther ? and there is only one dissertation on insurance law ? the serial damage clause is likely to violate the principle of transparency (\u00a7 307 BGB<\/a> or \u00a7 9 AGBG<\/a>), because the legal and economic effect of the clause is not clear to the average consumer.
\nVN hardly possible to keep track of.<\/p>\n
