CONFERENCE ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN ROMANIA: THIRD PARTY LIABILITY AND PERSONAL INJURIES

Last 21^st April OFESAUTO organized in its office a very interesting conference about the treatment of the personal injuries consequence of road traffic accidents in Romania. The speakers of the conference were Ms. Mariana Ionita and Mr. Matei Ioan, Secretary General and Legal Manager respectively of the Romanian Green Card Bureau (BAAR)

They explained in a very detailed way the historical legal evolution and the current legal framework in Romania from a general perspective of the Third Party Liability and also from the specific point of view of the treatment of the personal injuries, beneficiaries, etc. Especially interesting was the part of the speech dedicated to the compensation of the “pain and suffering”, which is rather different than the Spanish system.

 We’d like to thanks Ms. Ionita and Mr. Ioan for their presence as speakers. They explained in a very detailed and clear way all the legal/jurisprudential aspects and connected questions – even taking in account their own technical complications. Lastly we’d like to thanks also to the participants for their very active cooperation and interest on the matters dealt. More than 30 people from different insurance companies and official institutions of Spain showed a real interest in that conference.

 Attached you’ll find the presentations done:

• Regulation in Romania of the tort liability and insurance contract of civil liability for damages caused by motor vehicle accidents 
• The Contractual Relationship between the Romanian Bureau and its Approved Correspondent
