Insurance Law Services in Bulgaria
Zdravkov Law Firm advises and represents clients in insurance claims and disputes in Bulgaria. Our work covers insurance contracts, denied or reduced payouts and litigation where a fair settlement cannot be reached. We combine careful review of the evidence with a clear strategy tailored to each client.
ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CLAIMS
The amount recoverable after a road traffic accident depends on the injuries or losses, the available evidence and the applicable insurance cover. We assess the claim, prepare the documents and correspond with the insurer. If the proposed payment is insufficient or the claim is refused, we advise on negotiation and court proceedings.
For accident-specific advice, see our road traffic accident compensation service.
LIFE INSURANCE CLAIMS
A life insurance or borrower protection policy may give rise to a payment following an insured event. We examine the policy and exclusions, gather the required evidence and submit or challenge the claim.
We can represent beneficiaries in negotiations with the insurer and, where necessary, before a court.
INDUSTRIAL FIRE INSURANCE
Industrial fire policies can involve substantial property and business losses. Disputes often concern the cause of the fire, policy exclusions and the valuation of damage.
We help businesses review cover, preserve evidence and challenge an unjustified refusal or underpayment. We can advise on the steps required before and during court proceedings.
MOTOR CASCO CLAIMS
Motor Casco insurance provides voluntary cover for specified risks affecting a vehicle. The scope of cover and exclusions differ between policies.
If an insurer rejects or reduces your claim, we review the policy, event and supporting documents, prepare an objection and represent you in negotiations or litigation where appropriate.
CMR AND CARGO INSURANCE
Carriers and cargo interests may face disputes over loss, damage or delay in transit. We analyse the transport documents, insurance policy and the parties’ respective responsibilities, then advise on the claim or defence.
The circumstances and applicable policy terms determine the available remedy. We can assist with negotiations and representation where a dispute proceeds further.

Frequently Asked Questions
My insurer has rejected my claim. What can I do?
First, obtain the insurer’s written reasons and check them against the policy and the evidence. You may seek a negotiated settlement, submit a complaint to the insurer or the Bulgarian Financial Supervision Commission, or bring a court claim if the dispute cannot be resolved.
The regulator may supervise compliance but cannot order payment in an individual civil dispute; a court can decide that issue. We can review the refusal and advise on the appropriate route.
What compensation is payable under an insurance policy?
The answer depends on the policy and the insured event. Property insurance generally relates to proven loss and the applicable policy limit; personal insurance may provide an agreed benefit under its terms. Exclusions, deductibles and the evidence also matter. We can assess the amount claimed against the contract and the facts.
How is compensation after a road accident assessed?
Compensation depends on the nature and extent of the injury or property loss, supporting documents and the applicable liability and insurance rules. There is no reliable fixed amount for every accident. We can review the evidence and advise on a claim specific to your circumstances.
How long does an insurer have to respond to a claim?
Time limits depend on the type of insurance and whether the insurer has received all documents required under the applicable rules. Keep proof of submission and request the insurer’s written position. If the decision or payment is delayed, we can review the timeline and the available steps.
What if workplace accident insurance does not pay?
A workplace accident may give rise to distinct claims against the employer and under an insurance policy, depending on the circumstances and coverage. The insurer’s refusal should be reviewed alongside the policy, accident documents and medical evidence. We can advise on potential claims and representation.
What does a claim against an insurer cost and how long can it take?
Potential costs include court fees, expert evidence and legal fees. Duration depends on the complexity of the dispute, the evidence and the court’s timetable. After reviewing the documents, we can explain the likely steps and discuss fees before proceedings begin.
Which documents should I keep for an insurance dispute?
Keep the policy and general terms, claim form, correspondence with the insurer, the written refusal or offer, and evidence of the event and loss. Depending on the case, medical records, police reports, repair estimates or expert assessments may also be relevant. Do not discard original documents.
How is compensation for a moderate road accident injury determined?
The assessment is individual. Medical evidence, treatment, recovery, lasting effects and other proven consequences may be relevant. A medical classification alone does not determine a fixed payment. We can assess the available evidence and explain the claim process.
Can an insurer lawfully refuse to pay?
An insurer may refuse a claim only on grounds supported by the law and the applicable policy terms. Whether a refusal is justified depends on the facts, evidence, exclusions and procedural requirements. We can analyse the written reasons and advise whether they can be challenged.
How do I choose an insurance lawyer in Bulgaria?
Look for relevant experience, a clear explanation of the likely options and a transparent discussion of fees and risks. A lawyer should first review the policy and facts before expressing a view on prospects. Our team offers case-specific advice by appointment.
