At the wheel of his Dacia, Kamiel was hit by a trucker between Lommel and Mol, in Flanders, on July 3, 2021: “The trucker had run a red light”, he tells the Newspaper.
The man is insured by Yuzzu: “My total loss is estimated at 8,750 euros. Recovering these costs is agonizing. A year later, I still have no prospect of a refund. Even insured and innocent, you don’t know if you’ll get your money back.
Contacted by our colleagues, Assuralia explains that the settlement of an accident involving a foreign vehicle always takes a long time due to the exchange of information between the two countries concerned: “the Belgian Bureau of Motor Insurers must check in the Czech Republic whether the truck was insured or not. If this is not the case, the BB remains responsible for the accident provided that the registration plate is correct, that is to say that it is not erased or falsified”.
