12. Article 10 · forma din 23 decembrie 2023 · limba originalului: en

    Article 10 Body responsible for compensation 1.   Each Member State shall set up or authorise a body with the task of providing compensation, at least up to the limits of the insurance obligation for damage to property or personal injuries caused by an unidentified vehicle or a vehicle for which the insurance obligation provided for in Article 3 has not been satisfied. The first subparagraph shall be without prejudice to the right of the Member States to regard compensation by the body as subsidiary or non-subsidiary and the right to make provision for the settlement of claims between the body and the person or persons responsible for the accident and other insurers or social security bodies required to compensate the injured party in respect of the same accident. However, Member States may not allow the body to make the payment of compensation conditional on the injured party establishing, in any way, that the person liable is unable or refuses to pay. 2.   The injured party may in any event apply directly to the body which, on the basis of information provided at its request by the injured party, shall be obliged to give him or her a reasoned reply regarding the payment of any compensation. Member States may, however, exclude the payment of compensation by that body in respect of persons who voluntarily entered the vehicle which caused the damage or injury when the body can prove that they knew it was uninsured. 3.   Member States may limit or exclude the payment of compensation by the body in the event of damage to property by an unidentified vehicle. However, where the body has paid compensation for significant personal injuries to any party injured as a result of the same accident in which damage to property was caused by an unidentified vehicle, Member States may not exclude the payment of compensation for damage to property on the basis that the vehicle is unidentified. Nevertheless, Member States may provide for an excess of not more than EUR 500 to be borne by the injured party who suffers such damage to property. The conditions in which personal injuries are to be regarded as significant shall be determined in accordance with the legislation or administrative provisions of the Member State in which the accident takes place. In this regard, Member States may take into account, inter alia, whether the injury required hospital care. 4.   Each Member State shall apply its laws, regulations and administrative provisions to the payment of compensation by the body, without prejudice to any other practice which is more favourable to the injured party.
