Personal legal protection

Your landlord refuses to repair the broken refrigerator. You have given notice and your employer will not pay for the overtime you have worked. You are refused a hotel room although you reserved and paid for one in advance.

Motorists’ legal protection

You are not satisfied with your car repair and want to take action against the garage owner. You are involved in a road accident because someone failed to give you right of way. You were speeding and got a huge fine. Our motorists’ legal protection insurance ensures you have legal cover with you.

Real estate legal protection

Your neighbour is planning an extension that will block your view. You are a condominium owner who is unhappy with the cost allocation for renovating the building stairwell. Your new pergola has come loose and damaged your expensive new garden table. Insure your property with the Fortuna TOP personal legal protection insurance optional add-on for real estate or condominium owners with optional landlords’ legal protection.

Combined legal protection

Stay safe wherever you are with a combination of personal legal protection insurance and motorists’ legal protection insurance. Benefit from a combination discount of CHF 20 per year.

You can insure yourself as an individual or as a family. A family is defined as you, your spouse or partner and all persons residing permanently in the same household.
