As provided by law you will be insured against liability for the financial cost of any of the following consequences that may arise as a result of an incident that you cause when you are using the Vehicle:

However, if you didn’t comply with those laws and/or regulations then, whilst our insurer will still fulfill its obligations to Third Parties under the Third Party Liability insurance policy, it may seek to recover from you some or all of the costs it may have paid to that Third Party as a result of the incident.

How to notify us?

In circumstances involving Third Parties it is important that you do your utmost to properly complete and sign an Accident Report (“Constat d’accident”) form which gives us all relevant details of both the incident and of the Third Party.
