Direct payment

Compensa's standard OCTA does not include direct settlement (claiming from your own insurer). Direct settlement (tiešā zaudējumu regulēšana / TZR) is only available through the voluntary Zelta OCTA add-on product, where the Compensa Zelta OCTA client can receive compensation from their own insurer (Compensa) even when they are the injured party in a traffic accident. Compensa Zelta OCTA klients var saņemt apdrošināšanas atlīdzību pie sava apdrošinātāja (Compensa) arī tajos gadījumos, kad pats ir cietusī puse ceļu satiksmes negadījumā.
