Insurance law
Insurance in Cameroon is governed by the CIMA Code, the single insurance code of the fourteen member States of the Inter-African Conference on Insurance Markets. It regulates the contract, the insurer and the settlement of claims.
Our work includes
- Drafting and reviewing policies and endorsements for compliance with the CIMA Code
- Coverage opinions, and disputes over exclusions, warranties and nondisclosure
- Claims handling and disputes over the amount of loss, for insurers and for policyholders
- Subrogated recovery actions
- Auto liability and compensation for bodily injury under the Code's schedules
- Marine cargo and hull claims
- Construction and professional liability claims
- Life insurance, beneficiary disputes and payment on death
- Regulatory matters before the national supervisory authority and the CIMA Regional Commission
