Solicitor for Insurance Law in Tarxien

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 buying a car in Malta and I want to understand what level of insurance coverage is actually legally required, as opposed to what’s simply recommended or optional. Is basic third-party coverage genuinely mandatory, or can I legally drive with less than that?

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 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?

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?

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.

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?
