Solicitor for Insurance Law in Rabat

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 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’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’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.

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’m launching a new startup in Malta and I approached an insurer for business liability coverage, but I was declined without much explanation, and I suspect it’s simply because the business is new with no trading history yet. Is it actually legal for an insurer to refuse coverage purely on this basis?

I’m renting a property in Malta and I’d like to take out insurance covering my personal belongings inside it, though I obviously don’t own the building itself. Is it actually possible for me to get insurance in this situation, given I’m not the property owner?
