Case 7c - Vehicle encroaching on solid line
Example
Portion of liability:
This case applies when 'Y' leaves a roadway (a parking lot, an alley or a place not open to public traffic) and 'X', travelling in the opposite direction, encroaches on or crosses a solid line.
Settlement is based on an equal division of liability in view of equal fault of both.
Indemnity
Applying the Direct Compensation Agreement:
- Vehicles X and Y are each 50% responsible: the insured will be indemnified for half of the amount of his damage if policy only covers civil liability (section A of the Contract). He will be indemnified for the other half of the damage if his policy also covers collision (section B of the Contract). The insured will have to pay 50% of his deductible.
