Insurance Law at the Vienna firm – in Austria – Internationally
“Insurance law is s a branch of commercial and civil law that regulates the legal relations between insurance companies and economic entities outside the insurance industry; it also establishes insurance supervision as a field governed by public law. Unless there is an exemption from insurance, social insurance is considered to be governed by public law. Private insurance law and social insurance law are therefore distinctly separate legal disciplines.
Insurance law governs the relationship between the risk community and the means of protection against damage.” Source Wikipedia
