Main features of civil liability insurance contracts.
The object of civil liability insurance is the property interests of policyholders or other insured persons associated with the need to compensate for the damage caused by them to other persons when carrying out the activities listed in the insurance contract. In this case, an insurance contract for liability for causing harm may provide that the insurer bears obligations for the consequences of the actions of both the insured himself and other persons listed in the contract (insured persons). At the same time, in liability insurance contracts for breach of contract, only the risk of the policyholder himself can be insured.
The list of specific events included in the scope of the insurer's obligations (insurance risks) depends on the terms of the specific contract. It may include:
1) types of activities during which the policyholder (insured person) may cause harm to other persons (for example, owning a vehicle, providing audit services, hunting, etc.);
2) a list of adverse consequences for other persons for which the insurer is responsible (environmental pollution, loss of cargo taken for transportation, harm to the health of passengers, etc.);
3) characteristics of events that could lead to harm to other persons (collision with another ship, industrial accident, errors or omissions of the insured or its employees, etc.).
In some cases, insurers limit themselves to the general formulation of the insurance risk (the emergence of an obligation of the policyholder to compensate for damage caused to other persons), without providing an exhaustive list of cases for the consequences of which they are liable under the contract. At the same time, however, events are specified in detail for the consequences of which they will not be liable. This method is used because it is often difficult to compile an exhaustive list of cases, the occurrence of which may cause harm subject to compensation by the insurer to other persons.
One of the features of civil liability insurance is that there may be a significant gap in time between the moments when the event occurred that became the source of harm to a third party, when the harm itself occurred and, finally, when a claim was made and satisfied against the policyholder (the insured person). ) for damages. Therefore, special clauses regarding the validity of the insurer's liability over time are included in the insurance conditions. The effect of these clauses is closely related to how the concept of “insured event” is formulated.
One possibility is that it refers to an event that results in harm to third parties. In accordance with another interpretation, an insured event may be considered to have occurred at the moment when a third party suffered damage subject to compensation. Finally, an insured event can be considered the fact that a claim for damages is presented to the policyholder (the insured person).
In order to understand the difference between the above definitions, consider the following example. A civil liability insurance contract has been concluded for doctors. The insured physician saw the patient on February 10 and gave him appropriate recommendations, which led to the patient dying on March 10, and on April 10, the heirs of the deceased filed a claim for damages. Then the insured event will be considered to have occurred according to the first interpretation of this concept on February 10, according to the second - on March 10 and according to the third - on April 10.
In connection with the above, in the terms of a civil liability insurance contract, one of the following principles may be applied: stated claim, causality or event, occurrence.
When using the stated claim principle, the insurer is liable only for those losses for which claims for compensation were received by it during the validity of the insurance contract, regardless of the date of the event that caused harm to a third party. Since in this case the insurer is also responsible for those losses that are associated with events that took place before the conclusion of the insurance contract, this version of the conditions is also called “retrospective coverage”. This principle provides the insurer with assurance that coverage is covered.” This principle gives the insurer a guarantee that after the expiration of the insurance contract, no new claims for damages will be presented to it.
Moreover, the terms of such contracts usually provide that the insurer is liable for losses caused to third parties only if the insured, at the conclusion of the contract, did not know anything and should not have known about the possibility of claims being brought against him for compensation. In addition, it is possible to limit the period of liability of the insurer by introducing the concept of a “retroactive date”. If a “retroactive date” clause is introduced, the insurer is liable only for those claims for compensation received by it during the period of validity of the insurance contract, the cause of which was events that occurred after the agreed retroactive date.
On the other hand, the insurance conditions may be supplemented with a clause “on an extended period for filing a claim.” This condition provides that the policyholder, during a specified period after the expiration of the contract (called the “tail”), can declare what happened in the period from the retroactive date to the expiration of the contract in the event of damage to third parties. Typically, the standard period for such a “tail” in international practice is 60 days.
Finally, the terms of insurance may establish a period during which claims of victims, if they are reported to the policyholder (insured person) in connection with events that were promptly reported to the insurer, are subject to payment by the latter. In international practice, the standard period for such a period is 5 years after the expiration of the insurance contract.
Example. Civil liability insurance contract for enterprises operating hazardous production facilities from January 1 to December 31, 2007. The retroactive date under the contract is December 31, 2005. The “tail” period is 2 months after the expiration of the contract. The period for satisfying claims of victims is 5 years after the end of the contract.
In this case, the insurer is liable for damage caused by the policyholder to third parties subject to the following conditions:
a) an accident at the enterprise that led to harm occurred in the period after the retroactive date until the expiration of the contract, i.e. from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007;
b) if the accident occurred in 2006, then the insured at the time of concluding the insurance contract did not know anything and should not have known about the possibility of claims being brought against him in connection with it;
c) the insurer was informed of the possibility of filing claims against it for damages during the period from the beginning of the contract until the end of the “tail” period, i.e. from January 1, 2007 to February 28, 2008;
d) the victims submitted specific demands to the insurer for insurance payment no later than 5 years after the expiration of the contract, i.e. until December 31, 2012
When using the principle of causation, the insurer's liability includes those losses that the policyholder (the insured person) caused to third parties by events that occurred during the term of the insurance contract, regardless of the date of presentation of claims regarding these cases. For example, if a traffic accident occurred during the validity period of the insurance contract, the victim has the right to an insurance payment regardless of when he turns to the insurer for it (taking into account the statute of limitations).
Finally, the principle of occurrence provides that the insurer is obliged to compensate for the losses that occurred to the victim during the period of validity of the insurance contract. For example, if an insurer insures a physician's liability for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2007, it is obligated to pay claims from the insured's patients who became disabled due to the physician's fault in 2007, regardless of when the treatment was performed and when claims for payment were made.
The terms and conditions of civil liability insurance contracts establish maximum limits on the amounts of insurance benefits paid by insurers. These are called insurer liability limits. There are several types of liability limits.
One of them provides for the maximum possible amount of insurance payment for each insured event (or for each incident or incident). Sometimes, in addition to it or instead of it, a limit of liability is established for each claim put forward by the victims. In addition, the insurance contract may provide for the establishment of separate limits of liability for causing damage to one person and for causing damage to several persons for the consequences of one insured event.
For example, as a result of a road accident, damage was caused to several persons: the first in the amount of 100 thousand rubles, the second - 150 thousand rubles, the third - 25 thousand rubles. The insurer's obligations will vary depending on what limits of liability and to what extent are provided for in the terms of the contract.
If there is only a limit of insurance liability for each insured event in the amount of 250 thousand rubles, then the insurer will pay only 250 thousand rubles. In this case, the first victim will receive 50 thousand rubles, the second - 75 thousand rubles. and the third - 12.5 thousand rubles, i.e. the amounts will be distributed in proportion to the losses incurred by each affected person.
If the insurance contract additionally provides that if harm is caused to two or more persons, the insurer’s liability limit increases to 400 thousand rubles, then this is the amount that will be distributed among the victims.
Finally, if the limit of liability for the claims of each victim is established, for example, in the amount of 200 thousand rubles, then the first two victims will be fully compensated by the insurer for the damage caused (i.e. they will receive 100 thousand and 150 thousand rubles, respectively), and the third will be paid 200 thousand rubles.
In addition to the above limits, insurers usually set a liability limit for the entire term of the insurance contract, which can also be considered as the insured amount. The need for it is due to the fact that several insured events may occur during the validity period of the contract, and therefore it is important for insurers to limit the total amount of their obligations under the contract.
For example, the terms of the contract provide for a liability limit for one insured event - 200 thousand rubles. and the liability limit for the entire term of the contract is 400 thousand rubles. During the period of validity of the contract, three insured events occurred: the damage for the first amounted to 300 thousand rubles, and the amount of the insurance payment was 200 thousand rubles, the loss for the second was 150 thousand rubles, which were paid in full by the insurer, and the loss for the third — 100 thousand rubles, of which the insurer paid only 50 thousand rubles, i.e. your balance of the liability limit under the contract after paying the consequences of the first two insured events. After this, the contract is terminated.
The size of the insurance premium for each type of civil liability insurance is determined differently depending on their specifics. To calculate it, insurance rates are most often used, set as a percentage or in monetary units from an indicator called the risk parameter.
This indicator is selected by insurers depending on the specific type of insurance and the type of activity of the policyholder; it must be closely related to the size and dynamics of the risk accepted for insurance. Therefore, to assess it, the main factors that most influence the degree of risk under the contract are determined. As a risk parameter, indicators such as the amount of income of the policyholder, the volume of production or sales of products, the wage fund, the number of employees, the number of vehicles covered by the contract, etc. can be used.
The insurance contract may provide that upon its conclusion, the insurance premium is calculated either on the basis of an assessment of the value of the corresponding risk parameter for the upcoming insurance period (for example, a year), or based on its size in the previous period. In this case, during the validity of the insurance or upon termination, the policyholder is obliged to provide the insurer with actual information about the value of the risk parameter during the period of validity of the contract. Based on the presented data, the amount of the insurance premium for the expired insurance period is recalculated, and the difference between the amounts of the insurance premium calculated on the basis of estimated and actual data is counted against the insurance premium for the next insurance period, returned to the policyholder or subject to additional payment by the policyholder.
The volume of obligations of the insurer, and therefore the policyholder, also depends on the size of the insurer's liability limits established by the contract. Therefore, in order to take this factor into account when determining the amount of the insurance premium, insurers stipulate basic liability limits in the insurance conditions and assign them a coefficient of 1. For other values ​​of liability limits, higher (if the liability limit is higher than the basic) or lower (if the limit is responsibility below basic) coefficients. As a result, when concluding an agreement in which the liability limits differ from the basic ones, to calculate the amount of the insurance premium, the amount of the premium determined for the basic limits is multiplied by the corresponding coefficient.
An example of calculating the amount of insurance premium
A civil liability insurance contract for a medical institution is concluded. Insurance rates are 1% of the policyholder’s income and 500 rubles. for every working doctor. The policyholder's income for the year is 2 million rubles, insurance premium: 1% of 2 million rubles. = 20 thousand rubles. Number of practicing doctors - 20, insurance premium: 500 rubles. x 20 = 10 thousand rubles. The total insurance premium is 30 thousand rubles. The basic limit of insurance liability under the contract is 1 million rubles. This agreement is concluded under the terms of an insurance liability limit of 3 million rubles. In this case, in accordance with the terms of insurance, a coefficient of 1.5 is applied. Final insurance premium under the contract: 30 thousand rubles. x 1.5 = 45 thousand rubles.

The Civil Code distinguishes two types of civil liability insurance:

  • 1) insurance of the risk of liability for obligations arising from causing harm to the life, health or property of other persons;
  • 2) insurance against the risk of liability for breach of contract.

Civil liability as a subject of insurance against the risk of liability for obligations arising from causing harm to the life, health or property of other persons means the obligation of the person who caused harm to another person to compensate it in full.

Damage caused to legal linden will always be of a property nature. Harm caused to physical person, may affect both the property and personal sphere of the victim.

When insuring liability for harm, there are always at least two obligations. The first is an obligation resulting from causing harm, the subjects of which are the causer of harm (delinquent) and the victim. This obligation gives rise to the liability of the harm-doer to the victim in the form of an obligation to compensate for losses that the victim incurred as a result of the fact of causing harm. The second is an insurance obligation, the subjects of which are the insurer and the policyholder.

Liability insurance for damage caused can be either mandatory or voluntary.

Under an insurance contract for the risk of liability for causing harm, the risk of liability of not only the insured, but also the risk of liability of another person who may be assigned such liability can be insured.

The recipient of the insurance compensation acts as the beneficiary.

The subject of insurance in this type of insurance is the liability itself, which the policyholder (the insured person) may bear as a cause of harm to third parties - victims. The object of insurance is the property interest of the tortfeasor.

An insurance contract can insure liability for damage that arises either regardless of someone’s fault or based on the fault of the responsible person or other persons for whom he is responsible. If the contract does not contain special conditions in this regard, then, as a general rule, it is considered that liability is insured regardless of whether it occurred due to someone else’s fault or without it.

Determining the sum insured for this type of insurance has its own peculiarities. This amount can be set as follows:

  • 1) in a firmly designated (fixed) size;
  • 2) in the amount that the tortfeasor (aka the insured) actually pays to the victim;
  • 3) in the amount of the amount that the victim presents to the causer of harm and which will be recognized by him.

In contrast to the rules provided for insuring liability for harm, when insuring contractual liability it is allowed to insure the liability of only the policyholder himself.

Let us immediately note that in accordance with Art. 932 of the Civil Code, insurance of the risk of liability for breach of contract is allowed only in cases provided for by law.

Consequently, in the absence of a direct requirement of the law, this liability cannot be insured, and if it does take place, then it should be considered as insurance of illegal interests, which entails the nullity of the insurance contract.

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 935 of the Civil Code, liability insurance for breach of contract may be provided as a compulsory type of insurance.

By virtue of clause 3 of Article 932 of the Civil Code, when insuring contractual liability, the beneficiary is always only the person to whom the insured is responsible, regardless of who is indicated as the beneficiary in the contract. Therefore, in this case, as well as when insuring liability for damage, the use of a bearer policy is unacceptable.

The insured amount in this agreement can be determined not in a specific monetary amount, but in the amount of the debtor’s liability.

Thus, the subject of insurance for liability for breach of contract is the liability itself (in the form of compensation for losses and payment of penalties), to which the insured as a party to the main contract may be subject to liability for failure to perform or improper performance of the obligations arising from it.

An insured event with this type of insurance has two components:

  • a) the fact of violation of the contract, which is the basis for holding the debtor liable under the contract;
  • b) the fact that the debtor under the main contract, acting as the insured under the insurance contract, is held liable for violation of the main contract.

Civil liability is a measure of state coercion provided for by law or contract, used to restore the violated property or personal rights of the victim, satisfying them at the expense of the violator.

Liability entails property measures to compensate for the harm caused to the injured person. In accordance with generally accepted practice, organizations, enterprises, citizens, which through their activities may cause harm to the health, property or other property interests of third parties, are obliged to compensate for this damage. Liability insurance is aimed at compensating the injured party for harm that was unwittingly caused by the insured.

The purpose of liability insurance is to protect the economic interests of the insured who, when carrying out certain activities as a result of an accidental event, may involuntarily (unintentionally) cause harm to the life, health or property of third parties.

Activities mean not only production or trade activities, but also the commission of some actions or inactions: operation of transport or equipment, ownership of property, professional activities, ownership of animals, etc. By force of law or by court decision, appropriate payments are made to the victim.

In accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the risk subject to insurance is divided into two types:

  • - risk associated with causing harm (Article 931);
  • - risk associated with the fulfillment of contractual obligations (Article 932).

In the first case, the insured has non-contractual liability. Under an insurance contract for the risk of liability for obligations arising as a result of causing harm to the life, health or property of other persons, the risk of liability of the insured himself or another person to whom such liability may be assigned can be insured.

In the second case, the insured has contractual liability associated with the realization of risks stipulated by the terms of the insurance contract.

An example of non-contractual liability is liability for harm (damage) caused by the policyholder (insured) to a third party as a result of the use of a motor vehicle.

An example of contractual liability is the liability of the policyholder for non-repayment of a loan when insuring the liability of the borrower of the loan. When insuring contractual liability, only the risk of the policyholder himself, who is responsible for violating contractual obligations, can be insured.

The object of liability insurance may be:

  • - property interest of the insured associated with his risk of liability for obligations arising from causing harm to the life, health or property of other persons (in case of non-contractual liability insurance);
  • - property interest of the insured associated with the risk of his liability for obligations arising from a violation of the contract.

Liability insurance has its own specifics and differences from other branches of insurance. Liability insurance is related to property insurance due to the fact that liability occurs when the property is used. However, in property insurance, a specific property or property is insured for a predetermined amount, while liability insurance does not protect specific property, but the welfare of the insured as a whole. Unlike personal insurance, liability insurance compensates for damage caused to the individual, i.e. it is damage insurance while personal insurance is sum insurance.

The subjects of the liability insurance contract are the insurer, the policyholder (insured) and the beneficiary. The policyholder can be an individual or a legal entity, the insured, as a rule, is an individual. The beneficiary in liability insurance is a third party who may suffer damage, even if the contract does not indicate for whose benefit it was concluded.

Unlike other types of insurance, at the time of concluding a non-contractual liability insurance contract, the beneficiary-victim acts as an abstract person whose interests are protected by the contract, and he is identified when an insured event occurs and insurance compensation is paid to him. The policyholder knows that if he causes unintentional harm, the insurer will compensate for the losses. The insurer carefully examines the circumstances of the insured event and calculates the losses caused by the insured. Liability insurance not only compensates for the damage to the injured party, but significantly mitigates the tension that inevitably arises between the perpetrator of the damage and the victim.

The insured event here is:

  • - the fact of the occurrence of an obligation of the policyholder (insured) to compensate for damage caused to third parties as a result of the policyholder’s activities (inaction) in respect of which an insurance contract was concluded (in case of non-contractual liability insurance);
  • - the fact that the insured has an obligation to compensate for losses caused to the beneficiary by violation (non-fulfillment) of the contract in respect of which (loss) an insurance contract was concluded (in case of contractual liability insurance).

As a rule, an insurance contract, by agreement of the parties, includes a specific list of events in the scope of the insurer’s obligations, namely:

  • - a set of activities that may cause harm to the policyholder (providing legal services, owning a vehicle, notarial activity, etc.);
  • - a list of adverse consequences for which the insurer is responsible (harm to the health of a passenger, environmental pollution);
  • - a list of events that can lead to harm (work accidents, mistakes of the insured).

A special feature of liability insurance is the procedure for establishing the insured amount in the contract. Unlike property insurance, where the insured amount is determined by the insured value of the property or part of the cost, in a liability insurance contract the insured amount is determined as the maximum amount of indemnity, i.e. insurer's liability limit. The size of the limit is determined when concluding a liability insurance contract at the discretion of both parties and depends on the maximum amount of liability of the insured. The amount of the insurance premium depends on two groups of factors: the insurer's liability limit established by the contract and risk parameters. The choice of risk parameter indicators is influenced by the specific type of liability insurance and the type of activity of the insured. The most commonly used risk parameters are indicators of the volume of output or sales of products, the wage fund, the number of employees, the income of the policyholder, the number of vehicles, etc.

The Russian classification of types of liability insurance is presented in the Law of the Russian Federation “On the organization of insurance business in the Russian Federation”, namely:

  • - insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners;
  • - civil liability insurance of aircraft owners;
  • - insurance of civil liability of owners of water transport vehicles;
  • - insurance of civil liability of owners of railway transport vehicles;
  • - civil liability insurance for organizations operating hazardous facilities;
  • - insurance of civil liability for damage caused by defects in goods, works, services;
  • - insurance of civil liability for damage to third parties;
  • - insurance of civil liability for non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of obligations under the contract See: Law on the organization of insurance business in the Russian Federation - Part 1 of Art. 32.9.

Liability insurance can be carried out in voluntary and compulsory form. In accordance with current legislation, compulsory insurance of the Russian Federation is carried out in the following types:

  • - professional liability of notaries, customs carriers, customs brokers, realtors, appraisers;
  • - liability for damage caused by radiation exposure when using nuclear energy;
  • - liability associated with space activities;
  • - liability for environmental damage.

When insuring the civil liability of vehicle owners, the insured risk is damage to the life, health or property of third parties as a result of an accident, which entails the obligation of the vehicle owner to compensate for the damage caused through his fault. The law allows an injured third party to make a claim or file a civil lawsuit seeking compensation for damage caused by a vehicle. Liability to third parties for damage caused during the operation of the car is borne not by the driver, but by the owner of the vehicle.

The third party under the contract of civil liability insurance of vehicle owners are those who, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, have the right to compensation for damage to life, health or property caused as a result of an insured event:

  • -individuals;
  • - legal entities;
  • - state;
  • - subjects of the Russian Federation;
  • - local government bodies.

The MTPL Law provides for the following basic principles of compulsory insurance:

  • - guaranteed compensation for harm caused to the life, health or property of victims, within the limits established by the Law;
  • - universality and compulsoryness of civil liability insurance for vehicle owners;
  • - inadmissibility of using vehicles on the territory of the Russian Federation whose owners have not fulfilled the statutory obligation to insure their civil liability;
  • - economic interest of vehicle owners in improving road safety.

Article 1 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance establishes that compensation is subject to damage caused only within the boundaries of roads intended for road traffic, as well as in areas adjacent to them and intended for the movement of vehicles (in courtyards, residential areas, vehicle parking lots, gas stations and etc.). It has also been established that the operation of equipment installed on a vehicle and not directly related to the participation of the vehicle in road traffic is not considered the use of the vehicle and therefore damage caused by this equipment is not compensated by insurers See: Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance - Art. 1.

The terms of the compulsory insurance contract must comply with the standard conditions contained in the compulsory insurance rules issued by the Government of the Russian Federation See: Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance - Art. 5.

Based on paragraph 1 of Article 6 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance, the object of compulsory insurance is property interests associated with the risk of civil liability of the owner of the vehicle for obligations arising as a result of harm to the life, health or property of victims when using a vehicle on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Determination of the amount of insurance payment due for compensation for harm caused to the victim is determined according to the rules of Chapter 59 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

A contract of compulsory insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners is an insurance contract under which the insurer undertakes, for a fee stipulated by the contract (insurance premium), upon the occurrence of an event (insured event) stipulated in the contract, to compensate the victims for damage caused to their life, health or property as a result of this event (carry out insurance payment) within the amount specified in the contract (sum insured). The compulsory insurance contract must comply with the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance and the Insurance Rules in force at the time of its conclusion.

Changing the provisions of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance, the Insurance Rules after the conclusion of a contract does not entail changes in the provisions (in particular, on the procedure for execution, validity periods, essential conditions) except in cases where the law applies to relations arising from previously concluded contracts (clauses 1 and 2 Article 422 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

When resolving disputes arising from compulsory insurance contracts for civil liability of vehicle owners, it should be borne in mind that the rules of Art. 428 Civil Code of the Russian Federation o.

The compulsory insurance contract is public and is concluded on the terms provided for by the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance and other legal acts adopted for the purpose of its implementation.

According to the provisions of paragraph 25 of Art. 12 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance and paragraph 2 of Art. 426 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the terms of a compulsory insurance contract that contradict the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance and (or) the Insurance Rules, including those establishing additional grounds for releasing an insurance organization from the obligation to make an insurance payment, are void (clause 5 of Article 426 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

If a dispute arises about the content of an insurance contract, the content of the policyholder's application, the insurance policy, as well as the insurance rules on the basis of which the contract was concluded should be taken into account.

The compulsory insurance contract does not apply to cases of damage to life, health and (or) property when using a vehicle on the territory of a foreign state, including in cases where the amount of damage exceeds the maximum insured amount according to the rules of “green card” insurance (Article 31 of the Law about OSAGO).

The issuance of an insurance policy is evidence confirming the conclusion of a compulsory civil liability insurance agreement, until proven otherwise.

Incomplete and (or) untimely transfer to the insurer of the insurance premium received by an insurance broker or insurance agent, unauthorized use of compulsory insurance insurance policy forms do not exempt the insurer from fulfilling the compulsory insurance contract (clause 7.1 of Article 15 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance).

In the event of the theft of compulsory insurance policy forms, the insurance organization is exempt from paying insurance compensation only on the condition that before the date of the insured event, the insurer, insurance broker or insurance agent contacted the authorized bodies with a statement about the theft of the forms (Clause 7.1 Article 15 of the Law on OSAGO).

After concluding a compulsory insurance contract, replacing the vehicle specified in the compulsory insurance insurance policy, changing the insurance period, as well as replacing the policyholder are not allowed.

When the right of ownership, right of economic management or operational management of a vehicle is transferred from the insured to another person, the new owner is obliged to enter into a contract of compulsory insurance of his civil liability (Clause 2 of Article 4 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance).

An insured event is an event that results in civil liability of the insured and other persons, the risk of liability of which is insured under a compulsory insurance contract for causing harm to the life, health and (or) property of victims when using a vehicle (paragraph 11 of article 1 of the Law about OSAGO).

The use of a vehicle should be understood not only as mechanical (physical) movement in space, but also all actions associated with this movement and other operation of the vehicle (towing, parking, parking, stopping, etc.).

In relation to the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance, the use of a vehicle means its operation within the boundaries of roads, as well as in areas adjacent to roads and intended for the movement of vehicles (in courtyards, in residential areas, in vehicle parking lots, gas stations, as well as any other territories , on which it is possible to move (pass) a vehicle).

The operation of equipment installed on a vehicle and not directly related to the participation of the vehicle in road traffic does not constitute the use of the vehicle (paragraph 2 of article 1 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance).

The right to receive insurance payment in terms of compensation for damage caused to property belongs to the victim - the person who owns the property by right of ownership or other proprietary right. Persons who own property under a different right (in particular, on the basis of a lease agreement or by virtue of an authority based on a power of attorney) do not have an independent right to insurance payment in respect of the property (paragraph 6 of Article 1 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance).

If the damage caused as a result of a traffic accident is compensated not by the insurance company of the harm-cauter (or in the case of direct compensation of losses, by the insurance company of the victim), but by another person, then the person who compensated for the damage has the right to compensation for losses.

The person who compensated the victim for harm (the causer of harm, the insurance organization that paid insurance compensation under a voluntary property insurance contract, any other person except the insurance organization of the harm causer or the insurance organization of the victim) has the right to claim against the insurer who insured the civil liability of the victim only in cases allowing direct compensation for losses (Article 14.1 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance). In other cases, such a requirement is presented to the insurer that insured the civil liability of the tortfeasor.

A person who has compensated for damage caused as a result of an insured event has the right to claim against the insurer in the amount determined in accordance with the MTPL Law. At the same time, the implementation of the transferred right of claim is carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation in compliance with the provisions of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance (MTPL) governing the relationship between the victim and the insurer (clause 23 of Article 12 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance).

The rights of the victim (beneficiary) under a compulsory insurance contract can be transferred to another person only in terms of compensation for damage caused to his property upon the occurrence of a specific insured event within the framework of a compulsory insurance contract for civil liability of vehicle owners (Article 383 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

The transfer of the rights of the victim (beneficiary) under a compulsory insurance contract is allowed only from the moment the insured event occurs.

The rights of the victim to compensation for harm to life and health, as well as the right to compensation for moral damage and procedural rights of the consumer cannot be transferred under an agreement for the assignment of claims (Article 383 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Submission by the beneficiary to the insurer of a demand for payment of insurance compensation does not exclude the assignment of the right to receive insurance compensation. If the beneficiary receives an insurance payment, the assignment of the right to receive the insurance payment is allowed to the extent not terminated by execution.

If from the documents drawn up by the police officers it is impossible to establish the guilt of the insured person in the occurrence of the insured event or to determine the degree of guilt of each of the drivers involved in the traffic accident, the person who applied for the insurance payment is not deprived of the right to receive it.

In this case, insurance organizations make insurance payments in equal shares of the amount of damage suffered by each (paragraph 4, paragraph 22, article 12 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance).

The insurer is released from the obligation to pay a penalty, the amount of a financial sanction, a fine and compensation for moral damage if the obligation to pay insurance compensation in equal shares of the amount of damage suffered by each of the drivers involved in a traffic accident has been fulfilled.

In case of disagreement with such payment, the person who received the insurance compensation has the right to file a claim in court to recover the missing part of the insurance compensation. When considering a dispute, the court is obliged to establish the degree of guilt of the persons found responsible for the harm caused, and to recover an insurance payment from the insurance company, taking into account the degree of guilt established by the court of the persons whose civil liability is insured. The law does not provide for an independent statement to establish the degree of guilt.

The right of the original creditor passes to the new creditor to the extent and on the conditions that existed at the time of transfer of the right, including the rights associated with the main claim, including the right to claim against the insurer obliged to make an insurance payment in accordance with the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance (MTPL), payment penalties, amounts of financial sanctions and fines (clause 1 of article 384 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, paragraphs 2 and 3 of clause 21 of article 12, clause 3 of article 16.1 of the Law on OSAGO). The right to demand recovery from the insurer of a fine provided for in paragraph 3 of Art. 16.1 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance cannot be transferred to a legal entity until the court makes a decision on its recovery.

The same rules apply to cases of transfer to the insurer that paid the insurance compensation of the rights of claim by way of subrogation, since such a transfer is a special case of a change of persons in an obligation on the basis of law (subclause 4, clause 1, article 387, clause 1, article 965 Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
An agreement for the assignment of the right to insurance payment is considered concluded if the subject of the agreement is determinable, i.e. it is possible to establish in relation to which right (from which contract) the assignment was made. At the same time, the absence in the contract of indicating the exact amount of the assigned right of claim is not a basis for recognizing the contract as not concluded (clause 1 of Article 307, clause 1 of Article 432, clause 1 of Article 384 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

When the rights of the beneficiary (victim) are transferred to another person (for example, assignment of the right of claim, subrogation), not only the rights are transferred, but also the obligations associated with receiving insurance compensation. The acquirer becomes obligated to notify the insurance company of the occurrence of an insured event, which is obligated to make an insurance payment in accordance with the MTPL Law, to submit an application for insurance payment with all the necessary documents attached, and to submit a claim if these actions have not been previously performed by the beneficiary (victim).

If the amount of compensation paid by the insurer under a voluntary property insurance contract exceeds the maximum insured amount under a compulsory insurance contract, the insurer, by way of subrogation, along with the right of claim against the insurance organization obligated to make an insurance payment in accordance with the MTPL Law, transfers the right of claim to the causer harm in excess of this amount (Chapter 59 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

If, when considering a case on a subrogation claim from an insurance organization that paid insurance compensation under a voluntary insurance contract, it is established that the latter paid insurance compensation under a compulsory insurance contract, then the court it is necessary to establish which insurance company made the payment earlier.

If the insurance compensation under the compulsory insurance contract was paid earlier than the insurance compensation under the voluntary property insurance contract, then the subrogation claim of the insurer under the voluntary property insurance contract against the insurer under the compulsory civil liability insurance contract is not subject to satisfaction (clause 1 of Article 408 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation ).

In the event that an insurance organization under a voluntary property insurance agreement paid the amount of insurance compensation before the insurance organization under a compulsory insurance agreement, the claim may be rejected if it is established that the insurance organization that received the rights of the beneficiary did not properly notify the insurance company of the causer. harm about the subrogation that occurred (Article 382 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
