When can I contact MTIBU?
Every car owner should take care of having an insurance policy for their car. After all, the absence of a policy leads to fines from the police and possible financial problems due to fault in an accident.
But there are categories of people who are allowed not to buy car insurance. These include disabled people of certain groups, combatants, pensioners, and Chernobyl victims. But you need to take into account that MTIBU will cover losses only within the framework of the current legislation. Therefore, it is better to buy insurance with an extension of the standard sum insured - Additional Coverage.
If you have been injured in an accident and the culprit is exempt from insurance, you need to contact the MTIBU. Read more about how to receive a payment from MTIBU.
In addition to cases of receiving compensation, you have the right to apply to MTIBU in case of violations by insurance companies.
To check the authenticity of car insurance, you can use the MTIBU service. You can check whether the policy is valid, which insurance company issued it, and other important information by using the car number or the insurance policy number.
