  • Federal Law No. 67-FZ of June 14, 2012 on Compulsory Insurance of the Civil Liability of a Carrier for Causing Harm to the Lives, Health or Property of Passengers and on the Procedure for Compensating for Such Harm Caused When Passengers Are Carried by Metro
    Carriers' civil liabilities for harm to passengers will have to be insured from January 1, 2013 in respect of all means of transport, except for metro and taxi, otherwise no carriage is permitted. Compensation rates are set for the various cases relating to accidents, except for force majeure. Rules for carriers and insurers are provided. The new compulsory insurance scheme will replace compulsory "third party insurance" for road carriers as well as air liability insurance. International carriers will not require yet another insurance policy if they have insured their liabilities under international rules, for instance abroad, provided insured risks and indemnity sums are not below the ones specified in this law.
    A guaranteed-compensation system is going to be formed. The compulsory insurance is the prerogative of the insurers which are members of a single all-Russia professional association and whose deductions maintain a compensation fund operating as a cushion for cases when an insurer goes bankrupt or looses his licence.
    Compensation to metro passengers will be provided by the carrier whose duty will be to pay it out at the rates set by this law.
    The law enters into force as of January 1, 2013, save some provisions with other effective dates.
