Sažetak
The non-contractual civil legal responsibility for damage occurring in traffic accidents is legally complex. It is necessary to resolve a range of problems which the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Traffic Accidents of 1971 tried to answer.
The provisions of the Convention are analysed as are the position of the injured party and the claim for damages. The conventions’ solutions are compared with those in practice and reveal the legal problems noticeable in the application of the Convention.
After the Hague Convention, in the aim of improving the resolution of the problem of noncontractual responsibility for damages in traffic accidents, the Green Card system and the Crete Agreement were introduced. These were supposed to facilitate the resolution of the problem of damages in traffic accidents involving foreigners or a foreign country.
The difficulties tied to the European Report on accidents and the cooperation among insurance companies are studied in relation to the effective resolution of the compensation claims of injured parties in traffic accidents involving foreigners.
