You can claim compensation from the Finnish Motor Insurers' Centre (LVK) for:

  • traffic accidents caused by uninsured vehicles
  • personal injuries caused by unknown vehicles,
  • traffic accidents caused by those exempted from motor liability insurance,
  • traffic accidents caused by foreign vehicles,
  • traffic accidents caused by vehicles holding temporary and frontier motor liability insurance policies.  

LVK also compensates reindeer owners for damage to their reindeer caused by vehicles. Read more about the damage compensated by LVK.

The driver of the vehicle that caused the damage must prepare a written damage report and submit it to the Finnish Motor Insurers' Centre. If the party causing the damage is unknown (e.g. personal injury caused by an unknown vehicle), or they have not reported the accident, the injured party shall themselves submit a damage notification to LVK.
