Health legal protection: SWICA helps you assert your rights
Whether they concern medical malpractice or an accident caused by a third party, legal disputes relating to healthcare issues are often costly. Our health legal protection insurance offers you security and financial support.
Why health legal protection makes sense
People undergo surgery in the hope of recovering and feeling better. Unfortunately, though, malpractice occurs even in Swiss hospitals. Since the costs of court proceedings can quickly rise into the tens of thousands, those affected often shy away from pursuing their rights. Health legal protection insurance provides you with comprehensive support for legal problems, queries and disputes related to health issues.
Where SWICA's health legal protection can help
- Legal claims against those responsible for accidents
- Conflicts with healthcare providers
- Claims against third-party liability insurers
- Legal disputes with other insurance companies
