Insurance law in the Netherlands.

A coverage dispute concerns your own insurance under Dutch law. Ask which provision the insurer applies; a high repair estimate does not answer that question by itself.

For each ground, record the insurer’s position and your response. Ask for clarification if the reasons change and note what is not disputed.

Keep the policy schedule, clauses, amendments and delivery details. Current website terms may differ from those at the time of the event. A digital policy is not automatically invalid.

Compare both interpretations with the complete terms. A lawyer can assess interpretation and any consumer protection. Keep specific promises and distinguish the intermediary’s role.

Link each document to the disputed provision. Expert work on a coverage argument does not automatically have the same cost basis as a second assessment of the damage amount. Ask about costs first.

Request a written reassessment with specific arguments. Reporting to the AFM does not determine coverage. Check access to Kifid and the consequences of binding advice; monitor limitation periods and urgency separately.
