  • § 4-5. Omkostninger i forbindelse med krav under forsikringen

    Ved forekomsten af en ulykkelig hændelse som kan give anledning til et krav under forsikringen, skal assurandøren ligeledes betale de nødvendige omkostninger påløbet til at fastslå om noget forsikringsmæssigt tab er opstået og omfanget af tabet.

    Assurandøren skal ligeledes betale omkostningerne ved at håndtere kravet samt for at beregne erstatningen.
