Understand how fault rate directly impacts your vehicle depreciation compensation. Learn about fault types, calculation methods, and how to maximize your claim.
Fault rate directly determines how much depreciation compensation you can receive. The formula is simple: your compensation is reduced proportionally to your fault percentage.
For example, if your vehicle's depreciation is calculated at 50,000 TL and you are 30% at fault, your compensation will be: 50,000 TL × 70% = 35,000 TL
| Your Fault | Compensation Rate | Example (50K TL) |
|---|---|---|
| %0 | %100 | 50.000 ₺ |
| %20 | %80 | 40.000 ₺ |
| %30 | %70 | 35.000 ₺ |
| %50 | %50 | 25.000 ₺ |
| %70 | %30 | 15.000 ₺ |
| %100 | %0 | 0 ₺ |
