Statute overview

About this statute

The Traffic Accident Board exists to help unify practice by issuing opinions and application recommendations in traffic-damage compensation matters. The Council of State appoints the chair, vice chairs, other members, and seven substitutes of the Traffic Injury Board for up to three years at a time. If a chair, vice chair, member, or substitute leaves or dies during the term, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health must appoint a replacement for the remainder of the term. Board members must have specific expertise and qualifications, including knowledge of traffic injury matters and certain professional degrees. The Traffic Injury Board must give recommendations and opinions on traffic injury compensation matters and may provide general application recommendations and information about its activities. The traffic damage board must not handle a compensation case already decided by a final court judgment, must decide cases in plenary or a section, and must give a party a chance to respond before deciding unless a hearing is clearly unnecessary.
