Motor third party liability
"Motor third party liability insurance" is a compulsory type of insurance in Ukraine for motor vehicles.
The Law of Ukraine "On Compulsory Insurance of Civil Liability of Owners of Motor Vehicles" regulates the conclusion of contracts for compulsory motor third party liability insurance and the sale of such insurance policies. In turn, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine regulates the procedure for concluding such insurance policies, the amount of insurance amounts and the method of settlement. It also sets out special conditions for insurance companies to obtain a licence for this type of insurance.
The purpose of compulsory motor third party liability insurance is to compensate for damage to life and health caused as a result of a road traffic accident and to protect the property interests of the insured, i.e. the persons who hold the insurance policy. Such a document is an insurance contract. In the absence of an insurance policy on compulsory third-party liability insurance for a vehicle, sanctions in the form of a fine of UAH 425-850 are provided for.
Sum insured and limits of liability
The amount of insurance payment for damage to property is UAH 100,000.00, and for damage to life and health, the amount is UAH 200,000.00 per victim. According to the Europrotocol (a specialised form unified in the EU countries), the maximum amount of insurance payment is UAH 50,000.00.
To summarise, by taking out such a motor insurance policy, you protect yourself from quite significant financial expenses arising from a road traffic accident, which in turn occurred through your fault. If you have an insurance policy of compulsory motor third party liability insurance, the insurance company from which you purchased this type of insurance policy will bear the financial responsibility for damages to third parties who own the vehicle instead of you. If the road traffic accident was not caused by your fault, the insurance company whose compulsory third party liability insurance policy was purchased by the culprit of the road traffic accident will bear the financial responsibility.
As for the damage caused to your car through your fault, in this case, you will have to cover all the costs yourself from your own pocket. There is also an option to purchase a comprehensive motor insurance policy in addition to liability.
