Accident perpetrator without insurance - what should the victim do?

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.

4 cases when the insurance payment is not enough for repairs

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.
