Manfred bacon, Bistro-owner from Berlin, suffered in the spring of 2016, a stroke, and still today suffers under the consequences. Bacon was privately insured in the Gotha. The insurance paid up, he begins to work nine months after his stroke again. From one day to the other, the insurance terminates him without notice.
But that’s not all. Shortly before the termination was found during a car inspection with a tracking device to his vehicle. Bacon brought the GPS Tracker to the police, because he already had a bad suspicion: “There is only one possibility that my health insurance behind is because in any Form.”, he expressed his presumption against the police. Is not proven to be the bilslang.

the Prosecutor’s office began their investigation, and had a detective search. Specks of suspicion proved to be true, whereupon he stopped for a lawsuit against the termination of his insurance. In the course of the process, the Gotha had to disclose all documentation. Mr bacon 55 pages full of photos, motion profiles, activity logs were available.

Also there are photos with accurate location and time information. Such a report would have to be rejected by the insurance company, which has commissioned the detective Agency, immediately,“ the Detective continued.

Martin Reinboth, specialist lawyer for medical law, is not surprised by the actions of the insurance companies. “Our experience is that the cases are, unfortunately, more and more, where both the insurance companies as well as the switched-on detective agencies blatantly violate the right to privacy of our clients.”
Illegal termination before the court: “Dishonest behavior” of insurance
Before the regional court of Berlin Manfred bacon got the main point right: the termination of The Gothaer is illegal. In its verdict, the judge spoke of “unredlichem behavior” of the insurance. The judgment is not yet final. The lawsuit against the Gothaer perhaps in the next round.
