German to English translations [PRO] Law/Patents - Insurance | | German term or phrase: Anspruch des Versicherungsnehmers auf Freistellung | Kündigung nach Eintritt eines Versicherungsfalls
Hat der Versicherer nach dem Eintritt des Versicherungsfalls den **Anspruch des Versicherungsnehmers auf Freistellung** anerkannt oder zu Unrecht abgelehnt, kann jede Vertragspartei das Versicherungsverhältnis kündigen.
I'm afraid I don't understand the sentence. 'Freistellung' from what? From the contract? I would very much appreciate help with the part between the **. |

| | the policyholder's indemnity claim/remedy of indemnity/ | Explanation: Freistellung dem Versicherer gegenüber von Schadensfällen bzw. Klagen. It's not strictly a release from the contract of insurance, but a claim against the insurer to pay up an indemnity (Entschädigung)
For instance if a hotel keeper down Abbott Street in Vancouver, with an Occupier's Liability Insurance Policy, finds a drunken hobo or spaced-out whino hiding in one of the hotel dustbins (I've actually seen this) and the tramp gets injured and sues the hotel keeper, the ins. co. will 'indemnify' (freistellen) the policyholder against the claim, including taking over the conduct of any litigation brought by the hobo's lawyers.
NB Rechtsanspruch can, besides a legal entitlement, also mean a legal remedy one party has against another.
