Solicitor for Insurance Law in Floriana

I’m looking to buy insurance in Malta and I keep coming across both ‘insurance agents’ and ‘insurance brokers’ as different types of intermediaries. I don’t fully understand the practical difference between them, or whether one is generally a better option than the other for someone in my position.

I’m applying for a specific type of insurance in Malta and I’m concerned that my age might result in either being denied coverage outright or facing significantly worse terms purely because of it, rather than because of any genuine individual risk factor. Is age-based discrimination in insurance actually allowed under Maltese law?

I purchased an insurance policy in Malta based specifically on my broker’s recommendation, but it turns out the policy doesn’t actually cover a type of risk I clearly explained to them was important to me at the time. Now that I need to make a claim related to exactly that risk, I’m being told it’s excluded. Does my broker bear any responsibility for this?

My car in Malta was recently in an accident and the insurer has assessed it as a total loss, but I feel the payout figure they’ve offered is significantly lower than what I believe the car was actually worth. How is this kind of payout supposed to be calculated, and do I have any way to challenge their figure?

I work for a company in Malta and I’m wondering whether employers here are actually legally required to carry insurance that would cover me if I were injured while at work, or whether this is something that depends entirely on the individual employer’s own choice and goodwill.

I’m having an ongoing dispute with my insurance provider in Malta and someone mentioned something called the Arbiter for Financial Services as an option, rather than going straight to court. I don’t really understand what this actually is or when it would make sense to use it instead of just suing the insurer directly.

I’m about to buy travel insurance for an upcoming trip through a Malta-based provider, and I specifically want to understand whether typical policies here actually cover cancellation if I become ill before departure and can’t travel, or whether this is something that requires special additional coverage.

I recently had a significant flight delay on my way to Malta, several hours, though the flight wasn’t technically cancelled outright. I incurred some extra costs as a result, meals, an unexpected taxi, that sort of thing. Can I actually claim these costs through my travel insurance policy given the flight was delayed rather than cancelled?
