Legislator summary

AI generated

The court ruled that the claimant's right to damages for vehicle damage crystallized immediately upon the incident, rather than after repair completion. The plaintiff argued that the obligation to pay compensation exists independently of whether or how the vehicle was subsequently fixed. The court affirmed this position, holding that the legal basis for the claim does not depend on the timing of the repair or the associated expenses.

Szkoda w majątku właściciela pojazdu i roszczenie o jej naprawienie powstają już w chwili uszkodzenia pojazdu, a nie dopiero po dokonaniu naprawy pojazdu i przedstawieniu ubezpieczycielowi kosztów jego naprawy (art. 361 § 2 k.c.) Przy takim rozumieniu obowiązku odszkodowawczego nie ma znaczenia prawnego okoliczność, czy poszkodowany dokonał naprawy oraz jakim kosztem to uczynił.
