The return of mandatory DPVAT insurance
Mandatory DPVAT insurance, suspended since 2021, has caused controversy among motor vehicle owners. However, the good news is that the bill (PLP 233/2023) that defines the new rules for Compulsory Insurance for Personal Injury Caused by Land Motor Vehicles is being processed and is expected to return soon.
New DPVAT Mandatory Insurance rules
PLP 233/2023 proposes significant changes to the DPVAT. One of the main changes is the reduction in the contribution rate for vehicle owners, which can result in a more affordable insurance price. Furthermore, the project aims to make DPVAT more efficient, ensuring more adequate coverage for possible traffic accidents.
Impact of the return of DPVAT
The return of DPVAT can bring benefits to both vehicle owners and victims of traffic accidents. With mandatory insurance in force, those involved in accidents will have a faster and more efficient guarantee of compensation. Furthermore, the DPVAT can act as an important social protection instrument, helping to cover the costs of medical treatment and rehabilitation of victims.
Discussions about DPVAT
Despite the benefits that mandatory insurance can bring, there are still discussions about its relevance and effectiveness. Some question whether the DPVAT really is the best way to guarantee the protection of those involved in traffic accidents, pointing out the need for other public policies to reduce accident rates.
Conclusion
The return of mandatory DPVAT insurance is a topic that is much debated and awaited by Brazilians. With the changes proposed by PLP 233/2023, it is expected that insurance can once again become an efficient tool to protect those involved in traffic accidents. All that remains is to wait for the approval of the project and the implementation of the new rules so that DPVAT can once again guarantee the safety and protection of all road users.
