The payment of the claim, whenever this took place up until the date on which the General Management of Insurance and Pension Funds states the contracts expired, will be performed in the following way:
The Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros will compensate the injured parties in traffic accidents:
a) All the damages to the persons and goods, up to the limit of the compulsory insurance in force on the date of the occurrence of the claim.
b) The part of the damages that could exceed the aforementioned limits, will be paid whenever in addition to the Compulsory Motor Vehicle Insurance, the voluntary civil liability ("third party insurance with unlimited civil liability", in the normal terminology) is included on the policy signed with the Company in liquidation, and in the proportion that is possible, in terms of the economic situation of the Company in liquidation.
In accordance with the Law 20/2015, of the 14th of July, on Arrangement, Supervision and Solvency of insurance and reassurance companies, once the value of the goods and rights of the company ("assets") that the company has to be able to attend to its debts ("liabilities") is known, although only provisionally, the Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros will establish the percentage that it can offer the creditors per insurance contract. This percentage is set by the Board of Directors of the Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros in terms of the balance held by the company, applying a series of improvement steps foreseen in the Law, which is performed, except for exceptional reasons, before the 9 month period established by the Law has passed. Once this percentage has been determined, the Consorcio will contact you to offer you the payment in the abovementioned percentage.
This system allows insurance contracts creditors not only to be paid in advance, without having to wait until the end of the liquidation process, but they also will receive a higher amount to that which would correspond to them in the final liquidation, owing to the criteria used in the valuation of the asset, prior to the effective liquidation and that tends to improve it.
