The law on compulsory insurance of civil liability of carriers to passengers has been in force in Russia since 2013. According to it, all victims of transport in the event of harm to their life, health and property have the right to insurance payments. To be insured, it is enough for a passenger to buy and keep a ticket for travel. Ekaterina Tarabuyeva, head of the department of insurance payments for transport and maritime risks, notes that in the event of an accident, each victim receives a fixed amount for a specific injury. In this case, the amount of payments depends on the type of injuries and their severity.
