Simplified Claims
The compensation file is simplified in the direction that the insurance company is proactive in setting up the file and paying compensation in cases of non-fatal accidents. As for cases of fatal accidents, the company will be responsible for collecting the file from the police instead of assigning all responsibility to the vehicle owner and driver. In particular, this file is also reduced compared to current regulations to speed up the compensation process.
Increase compensation to 150 million VND
Decree on increasing the level of insurance liability for damage to health and life caused bymotor vehiclecaused to 150 million VND/person/incident compared to the current level of 100 million VND. The insurance liability level for property damage is 50 million VND/incident for damage caused by motorbikes and mopeds.
Victims will receive compensation faster
The victim will receive advance compensation from the insurance company within 3 days from the date of notification of the accident.
In cases where the accident is determined to be within the scope of compensation for damages, the enterprise shall advance 70% of the insurance compensation/person/case when the victim dies (equivalent to 105 million VND); advance 50% of the insurance compensation/person/case when the victim is injured (equivalent to 75 million VND).
In cases where the accident is not yet determined to be within the scope of compensation for damages, the enterprise shall provisionally pay 30% of the insurance liability/person/case when the victim dies (equivalent to 45 million VND); 10% of the insurance liability/person/case when the injured victim receives emergency treatment (equivalent to 15 million VND).

This fund is managed by the Vietnam Insurance Association (www.iav.vn) and the fund will directly disburse humanitarian assistance after receiving information and case records.
In case of death, the payment is 30% of the insurance liability for 1 person/case (equivalent to 45 million VND). In case of injury to body parts that are treated in emergency, the payment is 10% of the insurance liability for 1 person/case (equivalent to 15 million VND).
