MANAMA: Minor traffic accidents in which parties involved are reconciled will be handled by insurance companies, it has been announced.
Under the new procedure, minor traffic accidents may be reported through e-traffic app or through the relevant insurance company as the new system provides an electronic link between the General Directorate of Traffic and insurance companies, Bahrain Insurance Association chairman Jawad Mohammed said yesterday.
The plan to entrust investigations of minor traffic accidents to insurers is the first of its kind in the region and its implementation is a pioneering step for Bahrain, he said. It’s also the outcome of co-operation between the traffic directorate, Central Bank of Bahrain and Bahrain Insurance Association, he pointed out.
