By the resolution of January 20, 2022 in the case No. III CZP 9/22, the Supreme Court decided that the insurer of the perpetrator of the accident is obliged to cover the costs of removing the engine fluids remaining after the collision from the road. The ruling was issued on the basis of a legal question presented by the District Court in Opole and is in line with the noticeable trend of extending the scope of liability of insurers of motor vehicle owners. The resolution is likely to end the dispute that has existed in the jurisprudence regarding covering these costs with the liability of the Insurance Institution for years, but the final conclusions can be drawn after the publication of the justification for the resolution.
