All drivers in Ukraine are required to have a motor third party liability insurance (MTPL) policy. Valid insurance is a guarantee of compensation in the event of an accident. The at-fault driver's insurance company will cover the damage caused to the injured party. How the policy works after compensation and whether it is necessary to take out new insurance after a road traffic accident - we will tell you further in the article.


Do I need new CTP insurance after an accident?


Even after a road traffic accident in which the driver was at fault and his or her insurance company was forced to compensate the victim, the CTPCI policy remains valid until the end of the specified period.

However, there is a nuance. After compensation is paid by your insurance company, the available limit of road traffic accident coverage is reduced by the amount of compensated losses.

It is worth recalling that the maximum limit of coverage under a motor third party liability policy is UAH 160,000 in case of property damage and UAH 320,000 in case of personal injury.

Here is an example:

● a road traffic accident occurs;

● the insurance company of the at-fault driver pays compensation to the victim. For example, UAH 100,000 (out of a total coverage limit of UAH 160,000);

● the culprit's motor third party liability policy remains in force, but in the event of another accident, his or her insurance company will only be able to compensate for losses not exceeding UAH 60,000. The rest will have to be paid by you.

If the rest of the limit seems insufficient, you can take out a new motor third party liability insurance policy with full coverage. However, keep in mind that it is impossible to use both policies in the event of an accident.

Remember that a motor third party liability insurance policy is mandatory for all vehicles in Ukraine. On the Visit Ukraine portal, you can buy a CTPCI policy from a licensed insurer for reliable protection on the roads of Ukraine. Packages with a deductible of UAH 3200, UAH 1600 and UAH 0 are available.
