Monitoring of the Federal Legislation dated 7.05.2002

Federal Law No. 40-FZ of April 25, 2002 on the Obligatory Insurance of the Civil Responsibility of the Owners of Transport Vehicles

Defines the legal, economic and organisational fundamentals of obligatory insurance of the civil responsibility of the owners of transport vehicles.
One of the central provisions of the law is the granting of guarantees to reimburse the damage to the life and health to the victims, as well as to their property. The mentioned guarantees are implemented through the combination of two mechanisms - obligatory insurance of the responsibility of the owners of transport vehicles and compensatory payments to reimburse the damage to the life and health made by the professional association of insurers. In the framework of the first of the mentioned mechanisms, the victims may get reimbursement from the insurance organization in the form of insurance premium under the obligatory insurance. The second mechanism will guarantee the rights of the victims in cases when the trespasser did not fulfil his insurance duty, or is unknown, or disappeared from the place of the accident.
The law defines the minimum insurance amounts separately to reimburse the damage to the life or health, as well as the property damage. The maximum amount of the insurance premium is Rbl 400,000, in particular: Rbl 240, 000 to reimburse the damage to the life and health of several victims, not more than Rbl 160,000 for one victim; Rbl 160,000 to reimburse the damage to the property of several victims, not more than Rbl 120,000 for a single victim.
The obligatory insurance must be arranged according to the uniform insurance tariff rates endorsed by the Government of the Russian Federation, with insurance tariff rate being defined taking into account the object of insurance and the nature of the insured risk. Division of tariff rates by categories takes account of several factors: regional particulars; parameters of the transport vehicle and the nature of its use (by legal entities, citizens for personal use etc.); parameters of the owner of the transport vehicle, including his sever violations of the traffic rules or accidents involving insurance premiums in the previous insurance history.
The Federal Law is entered into force from July 1, 2003 except for the provisions envisaging other time limits for entering into force. The provisions on the creation of the professional association of insurers and the terms of issue of permissions (licenses) to the insurers for obligatory insurance of civil responsibility of the owners of transport vehicles are entered into force from the day of official publication of the Federal Law.
The text of the Law is published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta on May 7, 2002, No. 80.
