The hunting season has started for a while now and hunters are obliged to take out insurance. However careful you are, hunting is not a hobby without risks.

To be able to practice this sport, a Civil Liability insurance is mandatory in Belgium. With a Civil Liability Hunting, your liability is insured for (physical and material) damage that you accidentally cause to others. In the first place, this concerns damage that you yourself cause due to the unfortunate handling of your weapon. By weapons we mean:

  • Shotgun
  • Bow and arrow
  • Bird of prey

In addition, damage caused by someone to whom you entrust your weapon is also covered. Does your weapon itself have damage? This is also reimbursed through the 'Hunting insurance'. The hunting insurance is not only aimed at hunters, but also at the organizers of hunting parties and at employers of the Special Constable.

What does good hunting insurance cover?

The hunting insurance guarantees the physical damage caused to third parties.

  • As a hunter

All hunting parties are insured for damage caused by your hunting dog. In addition, there is a guarantee for the transport of rifles to the place of the hunt.

 

  • As a game warden and organizer of hunting parties

There is also cover for all accidents during the hunt. The floats are also insured for physical injuries.

 

  • As a huntsman

The gamekeeper is insured, as are his appointees.
