Expertise

As a certified insurance law attorney, Joachim Borck has worked for many years in litigation and advising insurance companies, businesses and private individuals in the field of insurance law. He looks after and represents his clients in the areas of the law of, among other things

  • occupational disability insurance
  • liability insurance
  • comprehensive insurance
  • health insurance
  • accident insurance
  • construction insurance and
  • building insurance (household contents, tap water, fire, etc.).

In addition, he is active in all aspects of damage and liability law.

In traffic law, his focus is on serious and most serious personal injury cases. Accident victims and their relatives need experienced experts, as the distinction between primary and secondary damage, knowledge of the law of evidence and a basic understanding of medicine are essential. With his experience of more than 20 years in this field, Joachim Borck, as a specialist lawyer for traffic law, has extensive experience in causal connections of injuries and consequences of damage, also in the case of pre-existing conditions and previous damage as well as in the area of psychological consequential damage such as post-traumatic stress disorders. His expertise also extends to the assessment of technical difficulties in accident reconstructions and the consideration of insurance law problems in the settlement of claims. He assists his clients in making claims to private occupational disability or accident insurance companies and provides legal support for these proceedings.

For more than 15 years, Joachim Borck has represented social insurance carriers throughout Germany in the area of major claims in recourse proceedings pursuant to § 116 SGB X / § 6 EntgFG as an expert in social insurance recourse (§ 116 SGB X), an expert in employer recourse (§ 6 EntgFG) and an expert in division agreements. In doing so, he regularly deals with typical issues in this area of law, such as family privilege, special social law features of claims items (e.g. sickness benefits) and their procedural presentation (e.g. proof of expenses in the statutory voucherless settlement procedure pursuant to § 301 SGB V). Special attention is also paid here to the economic management of the respective cases. This requires a precise, realistic and critical assessment of the factual and legal situation as well as the expected costs of litigation. He therefore works closely with the social insurance institutions he represents and provides them with legal and tactical support in handling their cases.

In addition, Joachim Borck trains and educates subrogation attorneys.

In 2005, he was the first lawyer in Saxony to be authorised to use the title of specialist lawyer for insurance law, and in 2007 to use the title of specialist lawyer for traffic law. In 2006, Joachim Borck was appointed chairman of the "Specialist Lawyer for Insurance Law" committee of the Saxony Bar Association and has held this office ever since.

Joachim Borck is the author and operator of the blog Liability and Insurance Law (www.haftungs-und-versicherungsrecht.de).
