1. The MTSBU, at the expense of the Victims' Protection Fund, makes a routine payment under the terms set out in Law 3720 in the event of damage in Ukraine:

1) by a vehicle for which there was no valid contract of compulsory civil liability insurance as of the date of the road traffic accident, except for damage caused to a vehicle for which there was no valid contract of compulsory civil liability insurance as of the date of the road traffic accident and to property in it;

2) life or health of the injured individual by an unidentified vehicle. Damage caused to the property of the injured individual is compensated if the damage to the health of the injured individual is caused in the form of a permanent loss or reduction of professional or general working capacity or if the death of the injured individual occurs as a result of a road traffic accident. If a road traffic accident is caused by an unidentified vehicle on the territory of Ukraine, for Law 3720, the relevant unidentified vehicle is deemed to be a vehicle registered in Ukraine;

3) a vehicle that has left the owner's possession as a result of unlawful acts committed by another person;

4) a vehicle in respect of which, as of the date of the road traffic accident, an internal insurance contract was concluded with an insurer that, as of the date of submission of the application for a routine payment, was not entitled to carry out compulsory civil liability insurance due to termination of membership in MTSBU, and such insurer (its successor), upon expiration of the period specified by Law 3720 for deciding on insurance payment, did not make a corresponding decision or made a decision on insurance payment, but failed to do so, as well as in the event of bankruptcy proceedings against such insurer or liquidation of such insurer - to fulfill its obligations under internal insurance contracts;

5) a secured vehicle driven by a police officer, military officer, or employee of a healthcare facility to whom the driver has provided such a vehicle by the requirements of the law if the insurer has not made an insurance payment.

Scheduled payments provided for in this part shall be made exclusively directly to the injured person, his/her legal representatives or heirs, the legal successor of the injured legal entity, persons agreed with the injured person who provide services for the repair of the damaged property, persons who provide treatment to the injured individual, or persons who incurred expenses for the treatment of the injured individual. It is allowed to make the routine payment specified in clause 4 of part one of this Article to the insurer of the injured person who made the insurance payment by Article 19 of Law 3720, or to the insurer who made the insurance payment in connection with damage to the vehicle as a result of a road traffic accident under another insurance contract in respect of the respective vehicle and road traffic accident.

Any transactions that provide for the granting (transfer) of the right to receive the statutory payments specified in this part shall be void.

2. The MTSBU's procedure for making routine payments is available on the MTSBU website at the following link: https://mtsbu.ua/avtocivilka/zayava-pro-strahove-vidshkoduvannya.

Direct settlement of insurance claims is a system of compensation for losses caused by a road traffic accident under which the victim may receive an insurance payment for damage to the vehicle from his or her insurer (which he or she has chosen and insured his or her civil liability), rather than from the insurance company of the culprit, as is the case under the usual settlement procedure. In the event of an accident involving only two insured vehicles (from 2025, involving only two vehicles, of which the vehicle of the injured person is covered by a policy concluded after 01 January 2025), and in which the injured person suffered damage exclusively in the form of damage or physical destruction of such vehicle, the injured person is entitled to a direct settlement of the insured event.

"Direct settlement of an insured event involves the exercise by the insurer of the injured person of the rights and obligations of the insurer of the responsible person as defined by the Law to consider the claim for insurance payment, make a decision based on the results of its consideration and make an insurance payment if the relevant decision is made" (provision of the Law).

In practice, this means that your insurance company will settle the insured event and you will not have to contact the insurance company of the person at fault.

The procedure for registering an accident under the direct settlement system is standard: The accident can be recorded by the National Police or by the parties to the accident themselves, using the Europrotocol (taking into account the specifics of its application).

Next, drivers notify their insurance companies of the occurrence of an insured event by the requirements of the Law of Ukraine on MTPL (Motor Third Party Liability Insurance). After that, the victim applies to his or her insurance company with which the contract was concluded with a claim for insurance compensation and awaits payment.

It is also important to note that the victim can only use one method of settlement: either through a direct settlement or the classic route. It is not possible to file a compensation claim simultaneously with the insurance company of the at-fault party and with your own insurance company under a direct settlement.

The Regulations on direct settlement of insurance claims are published on the MTSBU website at https://mtsbu.ua/avtocivilka/pryame-vregulyuvannya-zbitkiv.
