CTP insurance won't help: no compensation for car flooding after rain

CTP insurance policies do not cover losses from weather disasters, lawyers warn

Rainstorms in the Moscow region continue to flood streets and courtyards, with dozens of cars ending up in the water. Lawyer Yuri Kapshyk explained what to do for owners of damaged vehicles.

According to him, compensation is possible only with a comprehensive insurance policy. CTP insurance does not cover damage related to weather conditions, including car flooding. In this case, the repair costs fall on the owner.

Kapshyk clarified that in the absence of comprehensive insurance, the car owner should rely only on their own resources. Sometimes the damage is not related to the rain, but to the technical features of the car — worn rubber bands, loosely closed doors or windows. If the vehicle is damaged due to a falling tree, the management company may be liable.
