Question 16154 — road safety

Summary

Mrs. Valérie Beauvais draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the procedure for compensation for bodily injury in the event of a road accident. In 2016, 3,477 people lost their lives on the roads, 72,645 were victims of an accident resulting in injuries, of which 27,187 had to be hospitalized. For several years, the use of triplicate in police stations as well as in gendarmes has been abandoned and replaced by the accident report, which determines the responsibilities of the parties to the insurer. In the event that the accident report has not been carried out, an investigation procedure is opened to determine the circumstances of the accident. These procedures are long and tedious and extend the time it takes to pay compensation, thus aggravating the pain of families. The triplicate in the event of a traffic accident makes it possible to reduce the deadlines for payment of provisions by insurance companies because it includes all the information necessary for a rapid procedure (circumstances of the accident, toxicological texts, number of insurance contracts of the different parties among others). Consequently, she asks him, on the one hand, to kindly indicate to what measures the triplicate could be restored and, on the other hand, to specify the measures which could be implemented to reduce investigation procedures and delays in payment of provisions by insurance companies.
