The basic principle of liability law is that the damage actually suffered must be compensated in full. The damage consists of material damage, financial damage (e.g. loss or lost profit) and/or immaterial damage. Typically, the costs of claims lawyers or attorneys also fall within the scope of damages than can be claimed.
In most cases, the party held liable is insured for the damages they have caused. In addition to the damage already suffered, an insurance policy also takes future damages into account. For example, future loss of income due to a missed promotion may be compensated. Case law demonstrates that even missed opportunities can be taken into account.
As the injured party, you must always substantiate the damage you have suffered and anticipate future losses. Our team of insurance dispute lawyers at LexQuire is highly skilled in this area.

Directors and supervisory directors face increasing risks of being held liable. The management of a legal entity entails more and more exposure. This does not only apply to directors of large (listed) companies. Directors of small and medium-sized companies, associations and foundations also face risks. In some scenarios, the risks can lead to personal liability of a director.
In principle, a director is only personally liable if he can be seriously blamed for the respective action of the legal entity. More often insolvency practitioners and creditors are succeeding in holding a director liable. This liability may lie in a faulty incorporation of the company, improper administration, harming creditors, entering into obligations lightly or paying tax debts late. As a director or officer of a legal entity, it is crucial to understand these risks in advance to mitigate potential liabilities effectively.
It is important for directors or members of the supervisory board to know in advance the nature and extent of the risks. This allows you to anticipate possible liabilities. Our team of premises liability lawyers and insurance dispute lawyers offers expert advice to help you navigate these challenges.
