What Is Third Party Liability Insurance?

Third-party liability insurance refers to an insurance that compensates the property of a third party or pays for the personal injury of a third party due to the negligence or negligence of the insured. Third party liability insurance is optional.

Third party liability insurance

In the past, most local governments listed third-party liability insurance as a compulsory insurance insurance. Without this insurance, motor vehicles cannot be licensed and cannot be inspected annually. After the introduction of the compulsory motor vehicle insurance (referred to as strong traffic insurance), third-party liability insurance has become non-compulsory insurance. ^[1]

I. Qualified drivers allowed by the insured: Here are two meanings. One is the driver allowed by the insured, which refers to the insured himself, his spouse and their immediate family members or employees of the insured who have a driving license Or, the driver uses the insured vehicle during the work assigned by the insured, or the insured has an operating lease relationship with the driver using the insured vehicle. The second is qualified, which means that the above-mentioned driver must hold a valid driving license, and the vehicle being driven is in accordance with the quasi-driving class specified in the driving license. Only those drivers who have both the conditions of "allowed" and "qualified" have compensation for the loss caused by the insured accident caused by the use of the insured vehicle. The insured vehicle was driven away privately, or the driver who promised the driver privately without the consent of the owner and the person in charge of the unit to which the insured vehicle belongs, cannot be regarded as a "driver allowed by the insured". , The insurer does not pay compensation.

Second, the process of using insured vehicles: the entire process of using insured vehicles as a tool, including driving and parking. For example, the lifting operation of the insurance crane after the wheels are fixed can be called "the process of using the insurance vehicle".

Third party: In the insurance contract, the insurer is the first party, also called the first party; the insured or victim is the second party, also called the second party; except for the insurer and the insured, In addition, the victims of personal injury or property loss due to the accident of the insured vehicle are third parties, also called third parties.

4. Personal injury or death: Human body is injured or human life is terminated.

V. Direct damage: An accident of the insured vehicle directly causes the actual damage to the existing property of others at the scene of the accident.

6. Amount of compensation that should be paid by the insured according to law: In accordance with the provisions for handling road traffic accidents and related laws and regulations, the amount of compensation that should be paid according to the liability of the accident for the insured or its qualified drivers.

In China, traffic accidents are generally handled by public security traffic management departments. However, public traffic management departments generally do not accept vehicle accidents that occur at off-highway locations. At this time, you can ask the relevant departments of the local government to study and deal with the road traffic accident according to the regulations. If there are serious differences in the handling opinions of the public security traffic management department or the relevant local government departments, you can submit the case to the court for resolution.

7. The insurer shall compensate in accordance with the provisions of the insurance contract:

1. Provisions of insurance contracts: refer to the relevant provisions contained in insurance documents such as basic insurance clauses, additional insurance clauses, special agreements and insurance approval documents.

2. The insurer does not fully bear the "amount of compensation payable by the insured according to law" unconditionally, and the non-compensation part stipulated in the insurance contract should also be excluded when claiming. ^[3]
