3. Rejected application for payment of money from the third party liability insurance of the perpetrator of the accident on A1
The parents of the driver who, along with his wife and five-year-old son, died on the A1 motorway in a tragic accident on September 16, will not receive money from the perpetrator’s third-party liability insurance.
The Society rejected the application for payment of funds because – as it explains in a letter addressed to the injured parties’ attorney – such a decision must be made if “the fault of any of the participants in the collision cannot be determined.” – This is a scandalous decision – thunders attorney Łukasz Kowalski, representative of the relatives of the family who died in the accident.
