hmm i thought if  established victims confirm drink driving insurance will refuse to pay out and void in this case?

So how will these claims work??😅

By law, 3rd Party liability for bodily injury and death has to be paid.

Regardless of legality of the committed act.

It is up to insurers to recover the compensation if it is illegal act

it's an interesting case as the victims here were in the same vehicle as the driver and were aware of his intoxicated state. This will probably mitigate liability.

At an adult age one should has the sanity and capability to ascertain the underlying risk of getting into a ride driven by a drunk. 🤔

I thought all of them got together to drink and then took turns to drive the car?

The driver drink alone while the friends watch him drink? I highly doubt it.

Why the families sue the driver's mother for compensation? All of them are guilty of drink driving.

Just let the matter rest.

Why drink and drive? A few minutes of thrill costs his mother and all other families a lifetime of misery.

Monetary compensation will safeguard their livelihood. But what about the one who has to pay for it?

RIP to all deceased.

And no one pointed a gun at their head to board the M series car.

At the end of the day, all these claims will end up in AXA claims dept

Under the Motor Vehicles (Third-Party Risks and Compensation) Act 1960, AXA is still obliged to pay the claimants following a judgment. 

The insurer could then seek to recover the sums from the estate of the driver.

AXA will not waste money to go after his estate.
