English translation of the principle

The employer’s insurance against work accidents. Its nature. The existence of the insurer’s liability does not negate the existence of the liability of the third party responsible for the accident. Each is bound by the same debt, even though the source of his obligation differs.

تأمين رب العمل عن حوادث العمل. ماهيته. توافر مسئولية المؤمن لا تنفي توافر مسئولية الغير المسئول عن الحادث. التزام كل منهما بذات الدين وإن اختلف مصدر التزامه.
