Direct Action in Business and Company Liability in Rijswijk

In Rijswijk, with its thriving business parks such as RijswijkBuiten and near the A4, direct action applies to damage caused by local enterprises. For AVB policies (Business Liability Insurance), Article 7:954 DCC is fully applicable, including CAR and CMV insurances, relevant for transport companies in this region.

Specific Aspects for Rijswijk Businesses

  • Higher limits: Local business policies in Rijswijk often cover millions, essential for incidents at industrial sites such as the Business Park.
  • Multiple insured parties: Direct claim possible against the primary insurer of Rijswijk employers.
  • Employers' liability: In workplace accidents in factories or logistics centres, occupational health service coverage takes precedence (Article 7:658 DCC), crucial for the region's construction and transport sectors.

Practical Examples in Rijswijk
