Abstract

The article discusses the issue of the extent of compensatory benefits from an insurer liable under mandatory third party liability insurance of motor vehicle owners in case it is possible for the person who suffered bodily injuries to obtain health care services paid for with public funds. In this respect, the Supreme Court adopted a resolution of 19 May 2016, III CZP 63/15, in which it expressed the position that: „The benefits paid by the insurer under mandatory third party liability insurance of motor vehicle owners include also justified and appropriate costs of medical treatment and rehabilitation of the injured person which are not financed with public funds (Art. 444 § 1 of the Civil Code)”.
