Two cars collided: who is at fault and how much will they pay?
The story:
- One December evening in 2022 two cars collided – an Audi A5 and a Kia Ceed. The Audi sustained significant damage.
- The Kia Ceed driver was found at fault and his license was suspended for a year.
- The Audi A5 driver (the victim) had to spend significant money on repairing his car.
- His emotional state suffered from the stress he endured.
The court:
- Attorney V. Petryk applied to the court on behalf of the Audi A5 driver to recover compensation from the person at fault and his insurance company (“Ukrainian Transport Insurance Company”).
- The court granted the claim.
- The person at fault must pay the victim:
- UAH 85,701.16 for the Audi repairs;
- UAH 10,000 for moral damage;
- UAH 1,930.61 in court fees.
This story offers clear lessons:
- Be careful on the road – even a small mistake can have unpleasant consequences.
- Do not neglect insurance – it can help you in a difficult situation.
- Do not give up if the person at fault behaves brazenly and refuses to compensate the damage voluntarily.
