Storm damage: Buildings

Report damage to buildings and/or adjacent property quickly and easily online: However, the decisive factor is the canton your building is located in. This is because Switzerland’s compulsory insurance requirements are regulated on a cantonal basis. Who is responsible for your storm damage – cantonal buildings insurance or AXA?

Where is your building insured?

AXA is responsible in the following cantons:  Geneva, Uri, Schwyz, Ticino, Appenzell Innerrhoden, Valais, Obwalden

In all other cantons, first contact the cantonal buildings insurance authority (for damage to the building itself or to fixed parts of the building: roof, conservatory, etc.).

If, for example, the summerhouse, installed sculptures, trees or paths have been damaged, we will be happy to check your claim under your supplementary insurance where applicable.
