The benefit for the injured party is a guarantee to receive compensation for damages (for car repairs) under the law. For the party at fault, the benefit is that he is relieved of his obligation to pay compensation for damages resulting from the traffic accident (the insurance company compensates the losses for car repair) under the Law.
For example, if there was a traffic accident through a fault of a client, the insurance company undertakes to compensate the damage to the injured party within the limits of insurance amounts.
Sums insured are equal all over Ukraine and regulated by the Law:
- 130 thousand UAH for material damage (repair of a car of the injured party);

It is a contract, which increases the amount the insurance company will cover in case of a traffic accident through the fault of the client. Under CMTPL insurance, the insurance company can cover maximum 130 thousand UAH (approximately 5 thousand USD). It is possible to buy from 100 thousand UAH up to 1 million UAH.
