The injured party’s recourse against the insurance company to recover compensation. It does not prevent recourse against the person responsible for causing the injury and the person liable for that injury on the ground that the former is subordinate to the latter. The reason therefor. The differing legal basis of each one’s liability from that of the others. Holding them concurrently liable for blood money and compensation. No defect.
Arabic original
رجوع المضرور على شركة التأمين لاستئداء التعويض. غير مانع له من الرجوع على المسئول عن إحداث الضرر والمسئول عن هذا الضرر باعتبار الأول تابع للثاني. علة ذلك. اختلاف الأساس القانوني لمسئولية كل منهم عن الآخر. الزامهم بالتضامم بالدية والتعويض. لا عيب.
