connda Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Actually, if the dog of off it's property and roaming on a public road, and gets hit by a car, then the owner of the dog is responsible for reimbursing the car's owner for damages. That's been affirmed by my wife and other Thais I know and we recently had a dog hit near our home and the driver was out looking for the owner to collect damages. The dog was our neighbor's, it lived although it's pretty much a three legged dog nowadays (one big tough monster), and nobody in the vicinity told the owner of the car who owned the dog. Mai ruu??? Drivers on our road drive wayyyy too fast through our village and we've had numerous animals killed 50 meters on both sides of our house. Nobody here is sympathetic to the morons who drive too fast. I'm surprised no villager or kid has been killed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to start fining the dog owners for letting them on the roads! I would not be a happy bunny having to use my first class insurance to cover some mangy dog let out to roam. At least give me the carcass to flog for a curry recipe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cow kicked our car about 4 years ago, owner said not my cow, i photographed said offender, police came, told cow owner " you know cows are not allowed on the road" cow owner coughed up the money but not until first he,d tried the "not my cow " story and the "why were you on this road story" like we shouldnt have been there. Anyway moral is call police , they know cows should not be on the road. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 1st Class insurance would cover the damage to the car... But who pays for the rental of a spare car while the damaged car is in the shop being repaired? (we still need to transport our son around and only do so in a car with an approved child seat). Thus: Someone 'has' to be responsible and if dog owners are leaving their dogs to freely run around then they are the ones who have to be responsible for the damage their dogs cause when running out into the road. They should perhaps also be charged for not securing their animal Strays are a different issue and realistically it is the local governments responsibility to resolve this issue. They don't then they should be responsible for any associated costs when strays cause damage - of course pigs will fly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE1 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 As far as I am concerned , first class insurance is to protect me if I am at fault in an accident. Not to fix my car if somebody else causes the damage . As previously posted , you lose your no claims bonus for somebody else doing wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking part in traffic always incurs a financial risk, that's just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
