Accidents reporting and statistics Martin Vošta - Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic
Conclusion • There are important differences between companies insurances and between countries. • The contract it self is usually not covering the terrorist attacks • By increasing the insurance level, the competitiveness of the railway is decreasing significantly • The insurances are usually not valid out of the territory of the state however the equivalent damages costs should be the same all over the Europe • The price we pay for increasing the safety on the rail by one unit is inappropriately higher then the price for the same unit on the road Martin Vošta - Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic
