Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court ordered the insurance company to pay 24,910 PLN in damages and interest to the plaintiff for injuries sustained in a traffic accident. The plaintiff argued that the compensation received was insufficient for the severity of the harm and that medical costs were not fully covered. The court rejected the defendant's argument that the earlier settlement satisfied the claim, ruling that interest runs from the statutory deadline for compensation rather than the date of the judgment.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedart. 445 § 1 k.c.; art. 444 § 1 k.c.: The court's determination of compensation for injury is declaratory rather than constitutive, meaning interest on damages accrues from the statutory deadline for payment, not from the date of the judgment.
