Solicitor for Insurance Law in Zurrieq

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 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’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?

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’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 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 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 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?
