I have an ongoing home insurance policy in Malta that I’ve paid for the full year upfront, but I’ve just received notice from the insurer that they’re cancelling my policy partway through the term, citing a change in their underwriting criteria. Can they actually do this without my agreement, and what happens to the portion of my premium I already paid?

My car insurance policy in Malta is coming up for renewal, and the renewal quote I’ve received is significantly higher than what I paid last year, without any accidents, claims, or other obvious changes on my part that I can identify. Is my insurer required to explain a increase like this, or can they simply raise the price however much they choose?

I submitted a claim to my car insurance provider in Malta after an accident, and they’ve now rejected it, citing a policy exclusion I don’t fully understand or agree applies to my situation. I feel like I’m just being told ‘no’ without a proper explanation. What are my options for challenging this?

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’ve submitted what I believe is a clearly valid claim to my insurer in Malta, with all the required documentation provided, but it’s been going on for months now with the insurer repeatedly asking for more information without ever actually confirming or paying anything. Is there a legal timeframe within which they’re supposed to actually process and pay a claim?

I’m applying for new home insurance in Malta, and I had a claim on a previous policy, unrelated to my current property, a few years ago. I’m not sure whether this is something I’m actually required to mention on my new application, or whether it’s only relevant if it relates to the specific property being insured now.

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?

I’m applying for private health insurance in Malta, and I have a pre-existing medical condition that I’m required to disclose on the application. I’m worried the insurer will either refuse coverage entirely or specifically exclude anything related to that condition. Is this something insurers are actually allowed to do?

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 reviewing my home insurance policy in Malta and I want to properly understand whether flooding or general water damage, for example from a burst pipe or heavy rain, is actually covered, or whether this is something that requires separate additional coverage beyond a standard policy.
