In most cases, private liability insurance is valid worldwide, but it's advisable to check the exact conditions of the respective insurance contract.
Exclusions
Not all damages are covered. For instance, damages caused intentionally are usually excluded.
Additional Protection
Some policies offer additional coverage options, such as for rental property damages, which can occur if one damages a rented apartment or a rented house.
Importance of Private Liability
Although private liability insurance is not legally mandated in Switzerland, it's highly recommended. The potential financial consequences of a caused damage can be substantial, and this insurance provides crucial protection against it.
