The phrase "fidelity and liability insurance" gives over 10000 hits on Google.

Ref 1: "“Förmögenhetsbrottsförsäkring,” literally “property crime insurance,” is actually “fidelity insurance.”"

insurance for crime against property and damages


Explanation:
... or damages and crime against propery insurance

The term "förmögenhetsbrott" means "crimes against property", and has already been posted in Proz (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1251204).

Skadestånd is "damages" in plural (being the damages/compensation awarded), as opposed to skada = damage / injury (the actual damage or injury caused).

In this case, it does not appear to be liability insurance (which is "ansvarsförsäkring") but actual insurance for damages awarded to victims of a crime. This is often referred to as "överfallsskydd".




Example sentence(s):
  • Med skadeståndsförsäkring förstås försäkring, enligt vilken den försäkrade äger utfå ersättning för skadestånd vartill han är berättigad på grund av personskada (överfallsskydd o.d.).
