My insurer is not paying or refuses to pay

Contents, building, liability, motor, legal expenses, occupational disability, accident, private health, travel or phone insurance: report a claim correctly, react to a refusal or termination, get free mediation and see the short termination deadlines.

How the roadmap works. Answer the questions. Your roadmap is built from them. It shows what you can do towards the insurer, which deadlines are running and where you can get free help. This is about private insurance. There are separate roadmaps for statutory health insurance, pension insurance and the employers' liability insurance association (Berufsgenossenschaft).

Your situation

Your roadmap

Stand As of November 2026. The roadmap arranges general information according to your answers. It does not review an individual case, does not replace legal advice and does not assess your dismissal or any deadline as valid, met or missed. Whether an entitlement exists is decided by the responsible office; deadlines and amounts change often – check important details with an advice centre.

Ask your question

On a decision, deadline, application or responsibility. You get an answer with the matching page, the responsible office and the next step, usually within two working days. No legal advice in individual cases, no sharing of your data.
