Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Act 1994

The Austrian Federal Ministry issued the Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Act 1994 to mandate comprehensive third-party liability coverage for motor vehicles licensed under the Motor Vehicles Act 1967. The legislation defines mandatory insurance scope, including bodily injury and property damage, while establishing specific statutory minimum sums insured and permissible exclusions. It further regulates contractual obligations, direct rights of action for injured parties, and the administration of the Austrian insurance register for domestic and foreign vehicles.
