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. 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

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 ...

History of insurance: Ancient world

History of insurance. Ancient world. Initially people used to sell goods in their own villages and gathering society. However, with the passage of time, they turned to nearby villages to sell. Furthermore, in the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, the European traders used to travel to sell their goods across the globe and to hedge the risk of theft or fraud by the Capitan or crew also known as Risicum Gentium. However, they realized that selling this way, involves not only the risk of loss (i.e. damaged, theft or life of trader as well) but also they cannot cover the wider market.
