Press Release: Judgments in Case C-22/12. Katarína Haasová v Ratislav Petrík and Case C-277/12 Blanka Holingová and Vitālijs Drozdovs v Baltikums AAS

If national law allows family members of the victim of a road traffic accident to seek compensation for non-material damage suffered, that compensation must be covered by compulsory insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles.

In such a case, the minimum cover laid down under EU law for personal injuries also applies to non-material damage.
