Liability in the event of a Single-Vehicle Accident | Legal Aid

Questioner

Who is liable in the event of a single-vehicle accident involving a tension strap on a public road?

Lawyer

It is difficult to find out who owned the strap and therefore also difficult to recover from another party. Your own insurance will then have to compensate for this damage through the type and conditions of your insurance.

Hello M, I understand that, but I have third party liability plus extra insurance, so my insurance company does not want to pay for that. What now, engine block broken, I have now put another engine block in the car and a hefty bill of almost €1300.00. While I may have bought my car just 2 or 3 days ago..

Lawyer

These are sad events, which unfortunately cannot be helped. I would have liked to help you further. Good luck with the rest of the story.
