Example
Portion of liability:
The driver entering a roadway or leaving a limited access highway must yield to other vehicles.
Indemnity:
Applying the Direct Compensation Agreement:
- Vehicle Y is responsible: the insured will be indemnified if the collision is covered under his insurance policy (section B of the Contract). The insured will then have to pay a deductible.
- Vehicle X is not responsible: the insured will be indemnified even if the collision is not covered under his insurance policy. The insured will not have to pay a deductible.
Note
The insurer must obtain the version of the accident from the persons involved. As a general rule, if the versions differ and there is no independent witness to corroborate one or other of the versions, responsibility for the accident is shared 50% - 50%.
