Legitimate reasons for refusal

There are various legal grounds for refusing payment under compulsory motor liability insurance. Each victim should study them carefully. As a rule, all the nuances listed below are specified in the rules that are issued to each client when applying for insurance.

Legitimate reasons:

It is important to understand that the insurance organization is obliged to provide a refusal in writing. It must indicate:

• full name of the company;
• manager's name;
• case number;
• vehicle characteristics;
• reason.

Unlawful grounds for refusal

Unfortunately, many drivers are faced with a situation where an insurance company has illegally refused to pay under compulsory motor liability insurance. In this case, you should not give up and pay for repair work using your own savings. You should always try to get the insurer to transfer the money. Our consultants on the website can help you receive a payment and will tell you what needs to be done.

In practice, an unlawful refusal of insurance payment under compulsory motor liability insurance is received if:

These are the most common unlawful reasons for refusal of payment under compulsory motor insurance to injured motorists.

What to do step by step if the insurance company refuses to pay

If the insurance company does not want to make a payment under compulsory motor liability insurance, then every victim should know what needs to be done. We offer a step-by-step procedure for those who illegally received a negative decision on compensation.

Step by step guide:

The entire procedure for obtaining compensation, as a rule, lasts no more than 14 working days. If necessary, you can always get advice from a specialist on our website, who will tell you your rights and how to correctly file a claim in court. Sign up for a free consultation in a special form.

The insurer was not notified on time

The rules clearly state that the guilty party must notify the insurer of the occurrence of an insured event within 5 working days (according to the European protocol). If the accident was recorded by the traffic police, then you can apply on any day convenient for you, since the statute of limitations in this case is 3 years.

The company is not always obliged to refuse the victim if he applied for payment 5 days later, and there is no official confirmation from the traffic police officers. In such a situation, the insurer is obliged:

• request a compulsory motor liability insurance agreement form;
• Europrotocol;
• a statement stating the reason why the guilty party failed to apply in a timely manner.

Only after accepting the application should the insurance company announce its decision. If the case is recognized as an insurance case, refer the victim to an independent expert to assess the damage. If you refuse, you should prepare an official document and send it to the client by registered mail or hand it in person against signature.

Let's consider an example where the victim was unable to contact the office in a timely manner. For example, Ivan parked his car and went on a business trip for 10 days. At this time, Ilya was parking in the parking lot and hit Ivan’s car. Since Ivan is on a business trip, Ilya left all his coordinates to the guard and additionally took photographs of the accident scene. Upon his return, Ivan received the information, contacted Ilya and immediately contacted the office for payment. In such a situation, the company does not have the right to refuse the client.

The culprit fled the scene of the accident

But what to do if the party responsible for the accident escaped? In this case, there is only one way out - to look for the culprit. If it is found, the insurance company will be required to pay compensation. Until this happens, the insurer cannot transfer funds to the victim for restoration repairs.

The thing is that the liability of a particular driver is insured under a mandatory contract. When making a payment, insurers recover the money spent from the company where the liability of the perpetrator was insured. It turns out that if there is no culprit, then there is no one to ask for money back. In this case, companies do not agree to make payments from their own budget and refuse on legal grounds.

The culprit has no insurance

Very often, drivers forget to purchase or renew a compulsory insurance form. In the event of an accident, all expenses, in this case, will be borne by the culprit himself.

In this case, the guilty party can:

• voluntarily transfer money;
• after the court's decision.

In the first case, the victim must offer the culprit to pay for the assessment of an independent expert and transfer the amount of the loss to his personal account within the agreed period.

In the second case, you should prepare a legal claim, attach an assessment by an independent expert and an official resolution from the traffic police. Since the assessment is done at your own expense, payment receipts should be attached, since all expenses must be compensated by the person responsible for the accident. All documents are submitted to the court, after which a decision is made and a time frame is negotiated within which the guilty party is obliged to transfer money to the injured driver.

In practice, it is through the court that victims seek money to pay for the restoration of their vehicle.

The culprit has a fake policy

Unfortunately, fake MTPL policies are not uncommon. In practice, payments under compulsory motor liability insurance in Rosgosstrakh are reduced, since every fifth driver bought a fake policy. This is the most unpleasant situation for the culprit, since all losses can be assigned to him.

In this case, the perpetrator must:

• write an application to the insurance company and indicate how the contract form was drawn up;
• duplicate the application to the RSA or the Central Bank;
• file a claim in court and wait for the results of the investigation.

Not to say that often, but sometimes the court sides with the culprit and obliges the insurer to make a payment. Typically, this happens if the policy was sold through an official partner, broker or agent. However, many drivers refuse to submit an application because they are absolutely sure that they will receive a negative decision on compulsory motor liability insurance in court.

Refusal after trace examination

First of all, it is worth understanding what a trace examination is under compulsory motor liability insurance. Trace examination is a procedural action, as a result of which an authorized employee conducts an examination of material elements in order to identify evidence of the occurrence of an insured event.

An insurance company can order such an examination. If you receive a refusal, you must request the results of the examination, write a claim and go to court. Very often, in court it turns out that the examination was carried out with violations. In this case, the injured party receives not only money for repairs, but also payment for moral compensation.

Refusal for registration under the European protocol

It is worth noting that in most cases, insurers refuse precisely because the victim applies under an incorrectly drawn up European protocol. The company can refuse:

• if there are no photographs from the scene of the accident;
• The European protocol form is filled out incorrectly;
• the form contains inaccurate data (errors);
• on the correction form.

The easiest way to fix everything is to ask the culprit to redo the document so that the company can make the transfers. But what to do if payment is refused and the culprit cannot make changes to the document? In this case, all that remains is to defend your rights in court. However, judicial practice in this case does not always side with the victim.

To summarize, it should be noted that any insured event should be recorded correctly. If in doubt, you should always call the traffic police and officially record the accident. Experienced insurers also advise carefully studying the company where you plan to apply for compulsory motor liability insurance. Before applying, you should carefully study the rating of insurance companies for refusal of payments and only then make a decision.

If you have been rejected by an insurance company, we invite you to leave a review and tell other readers about your experience. We will also be grateful if you tell us how you sought justice and defended your rights.

And of course, the services of your consultant will always help you, who is ready to help around the clock on any issue related to insurance.

We also suggest watching a video on the topic, which describes the most popular reasons for refusal under a mandatory contract.

It is also very important to know in order to get justice from the insurance company in court.

Reasons (grounds) for non-payment - in what cases (legal and illegal) does the insurance company not pay insurance?

So, let's first look at possible pretexts for refusal under MTPL. There are actually few of these prepositions. First, let's figure out what OSAGO is. This is primarily car owner liability insurance.

Thus, you need to understand that when purchasing an MTPL policy, You do not insure the car against damage, but your civil liability to third parties.

Simply put, this means that if you damage someone else’s property (this could be not only a car, but also, for example, a bicycle, a lamppost, a fence, etc.), the insurance company will pay for the damage to the owner of this property for you (in within the sum insured).

If you are innocent, your policy will not be used at all, and the premium will be paid according to the policy of the culprit.

Grounds for exemption of the insurer from payment under compulsory motor liability insurance

• the at-fault party’s insurance was not valid on the date of the accident;
• the culprit insured a vehicle different from the one involved in the accident;
• the victim restored his property before the damage was recorded by an independent expert organization;
• The accident occurred while the culprit was using the insured car in competitions, testing or for learning to drive on areas prepared for this purpose.

These reasons are legal and quite logical. In addition, in accordance with Art. 6 of the MTPL Law, the insurer will refuse to pay for:

• lost income that the victim would have received under normal conditions;
• moral injury;
• environmental pollution;
• antiques, precious metals, cultural heritage, etc.;
• damage caused by the transported cargo (in the event that the risk of transportation had to be insured separately);
• harm received by passengers or employees (if this harm must be paid for under the appropriate type of insurance);
• damage incurred during loading or unloading a vehicle.

The insurance company cannot have any other legal grounds for exemption from payment. It is necessary to understand that in no case are circumstances such as:

• the culprit was not included in the MTPL policy;
• was under the influence of alcohol;
• left the scene of the accident.

None of the above grounds exempts the insurer from making payments.

The insurance company does not pay for CASCO: what to do? Here the situation is a little more complicated for the simple reason that a voluntary type of insurance, the conditions of which, unlike compulsory motor liability insurance, are not regulated by the State. Insurers themselves draw up insurance rules and in each company they are different, which means there can be a great many reasons for refusal.

If the insurance company does not pay for CASCO insurance, the course of action should begin by considering the main reasons for the possible refusal. CASCO is voluntary insurance of property, in particular a car. A standard contract contains the following risks:

• damage to the vehicle (in the event of a traffic accident, illegal actions of third parties, fire, exposure to natural phenomena or animals);
• vehicle theft (in other words, theft);
• total or constructive loss of the vehicle (damage to the vehicle after which restoration is impractical).

The vast majority of insurance companies will refuse payment if the following circumstances exist:

• the event occurred at a time when the policy was not in force (has not yet begun or has already ended);
• driving by a person under the influence of alcohol or drugs, who did not have the right to drive a vehicle under the terms of the CASCO agreement, or by a person who does not have (deprived) of a driver’s license;
• the damage was caused by the owner’s malicious intent;
• damage was received as a result of exposure to radiation, a nuclear explosion, military action or during the seizure of the car by government authorities;
• the circumstances under which the car was damaged are unknown (in this case, the insurer simply cannot establish the existence of an insured event);
• damage was caused when loading or unloading a vehicle or when renting it out without the consent of the insurer;
• the insurance company will refuse to repair damage caused to uninsured additional equipment (for example, you insured a car with summer wheels, but the damage was caused by winter ones);
• Damage to parts that needed to be repaired before insurance is not paid for (for example, if you insure a car with a dent on the fender, the insurance company will not pay for future repairs to that fender);
• car theft along with registration documents, ignition keys.

Depending on the terms of insurance, there may be other reasons for refusal to pay insurance compensation.

How long does it take for an insurance company to pay out insurance and compulsory motor insurance?

Insurance companies often delay the processing of applications for insurance compensation. How to determine the period within which the insurer must pay?

In terms of compulsory motor liability insurance, this period is clearly regulated by law.- no more than 20 days, excluding official holidays, from the date of submission of the last document and inspection of the car by an independent expert organization.

The terms for voluntary insurance are established by the insurance rules and, as a rule, do not exceed two weeks. When thinking about which insurance companies pay out in cash, there is no doubt that the ones we are considering in this article can and should do so. But we’ll talk further about what to do if the insurance company doesn’t pay the money on time.

The insurance company does not pay: procedure

If you receive a denial of insurance payment, you need to calmly, putting aside your emotions, examine it for legality. If, from your point of view, the refusal is not legal, then first you should contact the insurance company for negotiations.

To reinforce your intention, you must indicate the insurance policy number, the circumstances of the event and the reasons for your disagreement with the refusal. The claim must be prepared in two copies: one copy is transferred to the insurance company, the second remains with you.

Important obtain confirmation of document acceptance from the insurer, this can be done by asking for an incoming number and stamp to be placed on your copy. In case of refusal to accept the claim, you can send the document by valuable letter with notification.

Obtaining confirmation of an attempt at pre-trial settlement is an important point if in the future you intend to go to court to protect your interests (see)

After all, for compulsory motor liability insurance, for example, the Law establishes no alternative, and if you cannot prove to the court that you filed a claim with the insurer, the judge will leave your case without consideration.

What to do if the insurance company repeatedly refuses to pay? There is another option for pre-trial settlement - a complaint against the insurer’s decision to the insurance supervisory authorities.

In the case of compulsory motor liability insurance, it is necessary to file a complaint with the Russian Union of Auto Insurers and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, in the case of CASCO - only with the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, since RSA deals only with motor vehicle issues.

The supervisory authority will request the necessary documents and explanations from the insurance company. If violations of current legislation or insurance rules are detected, the regulator will oblige the insurer to reconsider its decision to refuse.

If you still cannot resolve the dispute peacefully, and you are confident that you are right, you should definitely go to court to protect your interests.

The first step will be the preparation of the necessary documents, the list of which is as follows:

• statement of claim;
• receipt of payment of state duty;
• a copy of the insurance contract and receipt confirming its payment;
• copies of documents submitted to the insurance company during the initial application;
• a copy of the letter of refusal to pay;
• a copy of the pre-trial claim and its response;
• a copy of documents confirming ownership of the damaged car and a civil passport;
• a copy of the representative's power of attorney.

It is worthwhile to dwell in detail on the contents of the statement of claim. It must indicate:

• name of the judicial authority;
• name of the plaintiff (full name, residential address, contact telephone number);
• name of the defendant (name of the insurance company, location address);
• circumstances of the case;
• claims (amount of damage, penalty, legal costs, etc.).

For information on how to file a claim in court against an insurance company under CASCO, read the article.

The above set of documents is prepared in two copies, one of which is sent to the defendant. Where should I go with this?

So, now with a prepared claim you need to go to court at the location of the defendant - the insurance company. Within 5 days, the court will review the submitted documents and, if the package was prepared correctly, will issue a ruling to accept the statement of claim for proceedings. After this, all that remains is to wait for the trial date to be set.

If you have received a refusal to pay insurance compensation from Rosgosstrakh

Rosgosstrakh is one of the largest insurance companies in Russia; a huge number of concluded contracts and the presence of sales offices in all regions of the country encourage the insurer to refuse payment for sometimes far-fetched reasons.

Being a virtual monopolist of the insurance market in many remote corners of the country, the company is not afraid of losing a client.

When preparing documents about an accident for Rosgosstrakh, be extremely careful, because The insurer often refuses on this basis, for example:

• not fully completed European protocol, if the registration of an accident occurs without the participation of police officers. Fill out all available fields, do not forget to indicate that 2 cars were involved in the accident, and no property or health was damaged. Be sure to draw a diagram of the incident and describe all visible damage to the cars, then, together with the second participant, sign your signatures on the front side of the document. Next, each participant in the accident must fill out the back side of the notice, describing the circumstances of the incident there; the culprit admits his guilt in writing.
• errors in traffic police documents. Check the certificate issued to you immediately at the scene of the accident. Rosgosstrakh will find fault with the document if it finds errors in the full name. drivers, the name of the car or its state and identification (VIN) number. In addition, the certificate must indicate the degree of guilt of both participants and the traffic rule violated by the culprit.
• incomplete set of documents. The list of mandatory documents is fixed in clause 3.10 of the OSAGO Rules. If only the car is damaged, this list includes:
  • identification card of the payment recipient;
  • power of attorney to receive funds (if the compensation is not received by the owner of the car);
  • bank details for transferring insurance payments;
  • certificate of accident (form No. 154);
  • notification of an accident;
  • copies of the protocol, resolution, determination, if any of these documents were compiled by traffic police officers.

    This can be clarified in the accident certificate - if there is a checkmark next to the name of the document, it means that the document was drawn up and is required to be submitted to the insurance company.

Do not begin repairing your car until it is inspected by a representative of Rosgosstrakh or an independent expert on behalf of the insurer. Also, before the inspection, you should not change the picture of the consequences of the incident (remove the bumper, adjust the fender so that it does not rub against the wheel). These two actions will result in a denial of insurance benefits.

Another typical reason for refusal of payment from Rosgosstrakh- non-contact road accident. An example of such an accident is as follows: while avoiding a collision with another vehicle, the driver makes a maneuver and crashes, for example, into a tree.

In this case, two cars will be involved in the accident, but only the victim’s car will be damaged. Under such circumstances, Rosgosstrakh, unfortunately, will almost completely refuse insurance payment.

If you have received a refusal to pay insurance compensation from Rosgosstrakh, do not worry and first of all carefully read the reason for the refusal and if it does not comply with the law, feel free to defend your rights, and the above instructions will help you with this.

Conclusion

As experience shows, refusal of insurance payment is not always justified. Having refused payment, the insurer is often confident that a legally unsavvy consumer will not argue.

At the same time, it is simply necessary to defend your rights! Having realized that the policyholder is serious, many insurance companies will prefer not to bring the matter to court, but to fulfill their obligations voluntarily.

According to clause 67 of the Rules for the risk “Theft”, the amount of insurance compensation is determined based on the insured amount specified in the insurance policy, minus (in the specified sequence):

In this case, an incomplete month of validity of the insurance contract is considered as full.
b) an unconditional franchise established by the insurance contract;
c) previously made payments to the “Damage” risk (for aggregate insurance).
Thus, the amount of insurance compensation for this insured event will be<данные изъяты>(20% at the time of the insured event the contract was valid for 12 months)<данные изъяты>.

In road traffic accidents there is always an injured party, and so she has the right to receive compensation based on the MTPL insurance policy. This type of insurance is related to the civil liability of car owners. Rosgosstrakh carries out the amount of payment under compulsory motor liability insurance taking into account its maximum value, it is prescribed in the Law “On Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance”.

Interesting! According to Article 12 of the Insurance Bill, victims of an accident have the right to receive monetary compensation from the funds specified in a pre-drafted agreement between the insurance company and the owner of the vehicle. Anything more than the established limit is paid from the personal funds of the participant in the accident.

Basic information about the amounts and timing of payments

Those who are interested in the topic of payments by Rosgosstrakh in case of an accident should know that the provision of financial assistance is not possible in all situations. Typical ones are:

• exceeding the maximum amount of compensation amounting to 160 thousand rubles;
• the maximum payment amount was more than 400 thousand rubles.

According to the law, if the victim died, then monetary compensation cannot exceed 135 thousand and 25 thousand rubles to cover funeral expenses.

How is the amount of compensation calculated for damage to property?

1. In the event of its complete destruction, the actual value at the time of the insured event is taken into account.
2. If we are talking about damage, then the costs that must be incurred in order to restore the car are taken into account, namely, bringing it to its pre-accident condition.
3. All other damages are assessed at an amount equivalent to expenses.

Attention! Previously, a person faced with an emergency situation considered an insured event had to immediately contact the insurance company serving the person responsible for the accident. Now things are different. If the damage caused is estimated at no more than 50 thousand rubles, a claim for compensation for damage in an accident under OSAGO Rosgosstrakh can be submitted directly to your insurer.

Compensation is not always in monetary form; sometimes the company simply repairs the damaged vehicle. The basis for calculating the final amount of compensation is the results of an independent examination. During the calculation process, all costs and losses are added up, and the degree of wear of parts is taken into account.

Behavior of someone involved in a traffic accident

To receive payments from Rosgosstrakh, the deadlines for compulsory motor liability insurance must be taken into account. The first step is to notify government authorities about the accident. An examination is scheduled, which allows you to obtain accurate information necessary to calculate the possibilities for receiving compensation. If the result exceeds 120 thousand rubles, then you should not count on payments under the compulsory civil liability insurance policy. If the insurer does not agree with the amount of compensation, it is necessary to take care of the opinion of an independent expert.

When the insurance company receives a signal about the occurrence of an insured event, it sends an employee authorized to give an objective assessment of the incident to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible. As a result, it determines whether the damage caused is subject to compensation under the policy or not. All necessary information is set out in a special act.

Package of documents that need to be collected

If an insured event occurs during an accident under compulsory motor liability insurance, Rosgosstrakh will pay them, but before contacting the company you need to collect a number of documents:

• identification of the victim;
• indicating that the citizen has the right to receive payments. This could be a policy, agreement, certificate or power of attorney;
• confirming ownership of damaged property in a collision;
• identification code.

If the insured person dies, then there must be a death certificate and documents reflecting funeral expenses. It is mandatory to provide bank details for which payments will be made, as well as information confirming the loss of a breadwinner.

How to get insurance after an accident in Rosgosstrakh, it is now known that when contacting an insurance company, you need to have the originals of the policy, certificates from law enforcement agencies about the road accident, a driver’s license, and a certificate of registration of the land vehicle.

Attention! The package of documents must be collected in full. It is provided to the insurer no later than three working days from the date of the incident.

Compensation payments will not be made if...

1. The insurance company has been declared bankrupt.
2. The license to carry out insurance activities was revoked by higher authorities.
3. The culprit turned out to be dishonest and fled the scene of the accident, which makes it impossible to establish his identity.
4. There is no contract concluded with the company on civil liability insurance.

In all the situations described above, compensation is provided by the Union of Auto Insurers, but this is very rare.
A refusal to pay under compulsory motor liability insurance from Rosgosstrakh can be obtained if the provocation of a traffic accident was intentional or the driver of the car was drunk and did not have a license. The same applies to situations where damage to human health or the environment was caused by uninsured and dangerous cargo; the damage is a consequence of educational, experimental and other activities. If Rosgosstrakh has refused payment under compulsory motor liability insurance, which may happen due to the need to compensate for moral damage or exceeding the established limit, it makes sense to seek help from a lawyer.
In order not to face a refusal due to exceeding the payment limit, you can enter into a DSAGO agreement. Its cost is insignificant, but its coverage area is much greater. The law on compulsory motor liability insurance is interpreted by the judge at his discretion.
