Welcome to the launch event for the book Vastuuvakuutus (Liability Insurance), held as a webinar. We are celebrating the book's updated edition together with authors Esbjörn af Hällström and Jussi Laasonen.

In the launch webinar, you'll hear about everything that has happened in the field of liability insurance since the previous edition in 2014, and what is currently topical in liability insurance.

"Tort law has changed in recent years. Insurance practices have also changed, for example in the case of pharmaceutical injuries. This fourth edition therefore includes quite a lot of content and structural changes." — Esbjörn af Hällström and Jussi Laasonen

For

The book is aimed both at professionals in the insurance industry and at others who need information about liability insurance. It is also well suited for readers already familiar with this type of insurance, as it provides a comprehensive overview of court and board decisions related to liability insurance.

"In liability insurance, the primary beneficiary of the insurance coverage is the party liable for damages. Liability insurance should be of interest to everyone whose work, business, or daily life could result in harm to another party."

The book: Vastuuvakuutus (Liability Insurance)

Vastuuvakuutus provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of liability insurance. The book presents the key principles of liability insurance, the related legislation, the most common types of liability insurance, and their content. It also describes several compensation systems related to liability insurance, covering health care, motor vehicle traffic, and compensation for environmental damage.
