English translation of the principle
Concurrent liability for payment of the debt because the insurer and the third party responsible for the accident are bound by the same debt, notwithstanding the different source of each one's obligation. It entails their liability together for it. Its effect: the creditor may demand the entire debt from each individually or from both together, and the injured party's receipt from one of them of compensation that does not redress the damage does not prevent renewed recourse against the other for compensation for the remaining unredressed damage. This does not constitute combining 2 compensations. The reason for this. - 265 - Obligation Divisibility and indivisibility:

تضامم الذمة في الوفاء بالدين لالتزام المؤمن والغير المسئول عن الحادث بنفس الدين مع اختلاف مصدر التزام كل منهما. يرتب مسئوليتهما سوياً عنه. أثره: استطاعة الدائن مطالبة كل واحد منهما منفرداً أو مجتمعين بكل الدين ولا يمنع تقاضي المضرور من أحدهما تعويضاً غير جابر للضرر من معاودة الرجوع على الآخر بالتعويض عما تبقى من الضرر دون جبره. لا يعد ذلك جمعاً بين تعويضين. علة ذلك. - ٢٦٥ - التزام القابلية وعدم القابلية للانقسام:Original Arabic judgment citations
