TOP-5 Illegal methods of enrichment in motor hull insurance Unscrupulous policyholders come up with many different ways to outsmart the insurance company and illegally enrich themselves.

Accident without insurance - what to do with the victim Sad statistic: About half of the car owners do not consider it necessary to take out an insurance policy. This is despite the fact that the law makes it illegal to drive a vehicle without MTPL insurance. Violating the law seems to be advantageous for drivers: the fine is often less than the cost of insurance. But what should the victim do if the person who caused the accident has no insurance and refuses to pay? Who will pay for the damage? How an insurance policy works If the owner of a car with a formalized MTPL becomes the culprit of the accident, the policy covers payments to the injured party. If the person who caused the accident has no insurance, there will be no one to compensate for the damage. What can you do? However, according to the law, the perpetrator of the accident is still obliged to take responsibility. It is necessary to pay for the repair of the victim's car, a fine for lack of insurance, to compensa

4 cases when the insurance payment is not enough for repairs Situations when the insurance payment is not enough for repairs are not uncommon. Why does this happen? Is it fair for an insurer to pay less than the cost of repairs? Volodymyr Shevchenko, Director General of MTIBU, spoke about how to avoid such situations and receive the missing funds. Starting from September 21, 2019, the maximum amounts of payments under the contracts of compulsory insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners (CTPCI) have increased by one third and now amount to UAH 130,000 - for damage to "hardware" (car and other property) UAH 260,000 - for damage to life and health. According to MTIBU estimates, only in 1-2% of accidents did property damage exceed the previous limits (UAH 100,000). But in the total amount of payments, such insured events accounted for about 6-7% of the money paid by insurers under the "motor citizen". In other words, we had few victims who were involved

Why car owners complain about insurers and what MTIBU does How well do MTPL insurers fulfill their obligations, to whom can you complain about them, and will these complaints make a difference? These are the questions that car owners face when choosing an insurer and in case of problems with payments. Volodymyr Shevchenko, Director General of MTIBU, helped us to understand these topics. How to assess the quality of work and reliability of the insurer The MTIBU website publishes a quarterly traffic light graphic.

Car insurance: the main points

Car insurance: the main points "You call on God, but you have to do it yourself". This proverb is very applicable to the topic of risk insurance. When you buy a car, you want to think only about the positive aspects of its use. And this is correct. However, you should not forget that a car is a means of increased danger and, therefore, increased responsibility.
