The fateful hole is to be the work of a construction company, on behalf of another construction company on the dug Base of the dilapidated Salvador-Allende-Brücke works. The parent of the two companies, even in the order from the Senate, by tendering the found Association, refused any information. In view of the damage caused seems not to be excluded that the responsible companies, also the lights go out. Wherein, according to the transport administration it is not yet clear, “who screwed up”.

The General Association of the insurance industry (GDV), it means that companies tend to have a business liability.

The location of the personal liability look like so: Everyone should have it, so that the negligence caused the injury of another can not have a ruinous financial claims. But not everyone has them.

Vattenfall: financial assets will be passed on to the tortfeasor more

Vattenfall’s electricity network-the daughter sees herself as a Victim, because the construction company before the bore’ve asked for contrary to the usual practice, no map of the pipes. This approach is not “tolerable”, says the electricity grid-managing Director, Thomas Schäfer. His repair crews were busy Tuesday afternoon around-the-clock to fix the damage. The amount of this damage can possibly imagine: dozens of closed stores to shopping centers and Restaurants, disused registry, tons of thawed or warm made of food in the (Deep)freezers, an evacuated intensive care unit, massively reduced S – and tram traffic. Incoming claims to the tortfeasor, it means.

According to information from GDV spokeswoman Kathrin Jarosch stores and supermarkets have ill own insurance. In the case of the retail chains all-round protection for all conceivable cases would be normal. These insurance companies go for their customers in advance and then seek the money from the polluter-pays back. If the court shall determine and there are get anything at all.
