[Direct answer]It is necessary to distinguish between compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance and commercial insurance. According to Article 21 of the Regulations on Compulsory Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (amended on March 2, 2019), compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance is only exempt from liability in legal circumstances such as the victim intentionally causing losses, and hit-and-run is not a statutory exemption from liability for compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance. Therefore, for the victim's personal injury and property damage, compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance is usually still required to compensate within the liability limit. Commercial insurance often lists hit-and-run as an exemption from liability, and whether to pay compensation depends on whether the exemption clause is legal and effective and whether the insurer fulfills the obligation of providing prompt and clear explanations. If the insurer fails to fulfill this obligation, the exemption clause may not take effect. In addition, hit-and-run may aggravate the determination of accident liability and may involve administrative or even criminal responsibility. Specifically, the provisions of the insurance contract and the current effective laws, regulations, and judicial rulings shall prevail.

I. Problem Background and Typical Scenarios

After a hit-and-run accident, disputes over compensation are common and complex. Typical scenarios include: the driver leaving the scene after the accident being identified as a hit-and-run driver; the victim claiming compensation from the compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance; the commercial insurance refusing to pay compensation on the grounds of hit-and-run; whether the hit-and-run exemption clause is properly explained and notified; and the hit-and-run resulting in an aggravation of the liability for the accident. In the above situations, the handling of compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance and commercial insurance is different, and the identification and consequences of hit-and-run directly affect the compensation.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Law Firm

Henglue Lawyers advise on traffic accident and insurance practices: The insurance handling of hit-and-run cases should be divided by insurance types and reviewed according to contract provisions. Firstly, compulsory insurance has a mandatory nature and provides protection for victims, with limited statutory exemption clauses. Hit-and-run is not included in these exemptions, so compulsory insurance should still compensate victims within the liability limits. Secondly, commercial insurance often lists hit-and-run as an exemption clause, but the exemption clauses must be legal, valid, and clearly explained to the insured. The insurer should bear the burden of proof that the exemption clauses were explained to the insured at the time of subscription. If this obligation is not fulfilled, the clauses may not be effective. Thirdly, review the causality. Even if there is a hit-and-run behavior, it is necessary to determine its connection with the insurance accident losses. The insurer cannot simply refuse to compensate for all losses on the grounds of hit-and-run. Finally, pay attention to other consequences of hit-and-run. Hit-and-run will affect the determination of accident liability, and the insured may bear full responsibility and face administrative penalties or even criminal charges. Henglue Lawyers usually first check the accident determination and insurance policy provisions, review the explanations of the exemption clauses, and then claim compensation from compulsory insurance and commercial insurance, and raise objections to refusal to compensate or resolve disputes through litigation.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is the compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance still compensated in the case of a hit-and-run accident?

Generally, compensation is still required. Fleeing the scene of an accident does not constitute a statutory exemption from liability under compulsory motor vehicle insurance. Therefore, for the victims' personal injuries and property losses, compulsory motor vehicle insurance should generally compensate within the liability limit, and the victims can claim compensation based on this.

Q2: Will the commercial insurance cover the costs of a hit-and-run accident?

Generally, it's not covered by insurance. Most commercial insurance policies list hit-and-run as an exemption clause; however, the exemption clause must be legal and valid, and it must be clearly explained and notified to the insured. If the insurer fails to fulfill this obligation, the insured can claim that the clause is not enforceable.

Q3: Are escape clauses always effective?

Not necessarily. It is necessary to review whether the insurer gave sufficient notice and clear explanations of the exemption clauses at the time of subscription. If the insurer fails to fulfill this obligation, the clauses may not take effect, and the court will make a judgment based on the insurance application form, follow-up records, and other evidence.

Q4: Does fleeing the scene affect the liability for the accident?

Yes. Those who flee the scene after an accident are usually held fully responsible, unless there is evidence proving that the other party was also at fault. The increased liability will directly affect the compensation ratio and may result in corresponding administrative responsibilities.
