  4. Some facts. • Material damages car accidents • Are so numerous that it is impossible to deal with them in courts. • It is often impossible to know who is really guilty. • Are not ( will not be ? ) such a big deal for drivers. www.insurance-surveys.com

  6. Direct indemnification of the insured. • Established in 1968. • Agreement between insurance companies. • So deeply implemented in the market that it seems compulsory. www.insurance-surveys.com

  7. Company of the driver at fault. Receives the amicable statement. Pays the lump sum to the opposite company. Company of the driver not at fault. Receives the amicable statement. Assesses the claim. Pays the body shop. Claims for a lump sum the opposite company. Direct indemnification of the insured. www.insurance-surveys.com

  8. Direct indemnification of the insured. • Applies to any motor claim. • Settles only material damages. • Applies in this simple way if the damages do not exceed 6500 €. • The lump sum : 1204 € = average cost of material damages claims below 6500 €. www.insurance-surveys.com

  9. Direct indemnification of the insured. • If the damages exceed 6500 €, • The company of the driver not at fault has to invite the opposite company to assess the damages. • The company not at fault claims for the total amount of the damages. www.insurance-surveys.com

  10. Direct indemnification of the insured. • Claiming for a lump sum is the key factor of success. • On one hand, as the company settles the claim of its customers, it treats him well. • One the other hand, as the company which settles the claim receives only a lump sum, it has no interest in exaggerating the cost of the repairs. www.insurance-surveys.com

  11. Why does the system work ? • Each company receives a copy of the amicable statement. • Thanks to a table part of the agreement, each company immediately knows which driver is at fault. www.insurance-surveys.com

  13. How does the system work ? • 13 cases depending on the position of the cars. • Assessment based on objective elements. • 100% at fault, • 50%/50% • Not at fault. • 92% of the accidents = 0/100% • 8% = 50%/50% www.insurance-surveys.com

  14. Why does the system work ? • In case of a disagreement between companies, • Each company has an “IDA correspondent” who will speak with the “IDA correspondent” of the opposite company. • Each year only 60 cases are settled by the arbitration court established by the agreement. www.insurance-surveys.com

  15. Administrative issues. • A clearing house has been established on a non for profit basis. • For the day 25 of each month, each company sums up all the claims it has paid for each of the other market participants. • These amounts are compensated between insurance companies. • In case of delay in the payment of the compensation a rate of interest of 5% per month applies. www.insurance-surveys.com

  16. In other countries. • In Spain and Italy, exactly identical agreements. • In UK and Germany, no market agreements but agreements between some companies. www.insurance-surveys.com

  17. Settlement of light bodily injuries. • Since 2002 an similar agreement has been set up to “light” bodily injuries. • No disability or disability < 5%. • A table has been agreed by insurance companies to assess the compensation of injuries. • Allows to settle 85% of bodily injuries claims. www.insurance-surveys.com

  18. The company of the driver at fault. Pays back the company of the driver not at fault. The company of the driver not at fault. Assesses the damages of the victims. Indemnifies the victim. If it pays into the frame of a table, claims for the amount paid. If it pays over the table, bears the payment in excess. Settlement of light bodily injuries. www.insurance-surveys.com
