The growth of the car park in Russia (in 2010 more than 33 million passenger cars were registered in the country alone) naturally results in an increase in the number of road traffic accidents (199,431 accidents occurred in 2010). Having a car, it cannot be ruled out that your car may suffer from the actions of other motorists. And although compulsory civil liability insurance of motorists has existed for seven years, it does not completely solve the problem of compensation for damage in case of an accident.
