Motorists were reminded what to do in case of an accident with an animal.
The experts of the CTP: Public Expertise project reminded car owners what to do in the event of an accident involving a wild animal. Note that an accident involving an animal, in addition to serious injuries up to death, as well as car repairs, imposes an obligation to pay a fine for a downed animal. The amount of the fine for each animal is approved by the order of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation. So, you will have to pay 60 thousand rubles for a downed bear. For a downed moose, Siberian mountain goat or musk ox — 80 thousand rubles. A wild boar will cost 30 thousand rubles. Moles and ground squirrels were rated the cheapest: 100 rubles for a downed animal.
Experts noted that according to Russian law, a collision with a wild animal falls under the definition of an accident that injured people or caused damage to property. If the driver has a CTP policy, the insurance company will pay compensation for the downed animal. If there is no insurance policy, then you will have to pay out of pocket for the death of the animal.
"In order to receive compensation from the insurer for a downed animal, the driver must fulfill a number of conditions. When hitting an animal, you should stop, turn on the "emergency light" and put up an accident sign. Then you need to make sure that your health and the health of the passengers are not in danger. If there are any injured, you need to call an ambulance. In addition, as in the case of a regular road accident, traffic police officers should be called to record the incident (even if the downed animal left the collision site on its own)," the experts said.
The traffic police squad called and the traffic inspector's report will be the basis for compensation for damage by the insurance company. In addition, it is important to contact your insurance company as early as possible and report an accident. Photos from the scene of the accident will also be included in the insurance claim review.
Leaving the scene of an accident with a downed animal imposes the same responsibility on the accident participant as in the case of an accident with another car, and may threaten the violator with deprivation of rights for up to one and a half years.
