Somebody told me that if the insurance company can prove that you were overtired when driving, they don't have to pay out claims. Since I drive home late after long workdays every day, that would pretty much mean I am not really insured. Is there any truth in this rumour?
Hi there,
Driving when you are extremely tired is considered gross negligence for insurance purposes.
Your Swiss compulsory liability car insurance will pay for damages to third-parties, but because you did not exercise due dilligence, the insurance company can legally request compensation from you.
If you have comprehensive or collission car insurance, your insurance provider may not fully cover damages to your car.
Many Swiss insurers let you add a rider to your policy which enables you to receive your full benefit in spite of gross negligence - at an additional premium.
