Last year, about 15% of MTPL claims based on settlement agreements were filed incorrectly. It is noted that during the first 8 months of 2023, 5,302 such applications were submitted, bizlaw.md writes.

According to the National Commission for Financial Markets (CNPF), the most common deficiencies relate to the absence of photographs or presentation of photographs that do not fully reflect the circumstances of an accident.
