Procedure established for compensating damage to victims of accidents and disasters

The regulation in this regard was approved by Government Decision No. 606 of November 3, 2026

The regulation covers cases such as transport accidents and crashes, emergency situations at chemically hazardous and fire-and-explosion risk facilities, accidents in energy and utility systems, and sudden collapses of building structures.

Victims must fill out an application in the prescribed form and submit it to the relevant commission within 30 days from the day the emergency occurred.

Payments will also be made from this fund in cases where legal entities or their officials found guilty are unable to fully compensate for the damage within the established timeframe.
