  OK I think you are right. Too bad the Ferrari driver have to die. He should have lived and since he's an elite, he can engage expensive lawyer and seek doctor's certification of his astigmatism to justify him being temporarily blinded by the LED traffic lights and get off without warning.

  Dead Ferrari driver's family sues insurers THE wife and mother of the dead Ferrari driver are taking the vehicle's insurers to court after they said they were withdrawing coverage for the deadly crash. The Straits Times - August 14, 2012 By: K. C. Vijayan THE wife and mother of the dead Ferrari driver are taking the vehicle's insurers to court after they said they were withdrawing coverage for the deadly crash. The insurers, AXA Insurance Singapore, had told Mr Ma Chi's family that the crash on May 12 was a "collision" - not an accident, according to the suit filed in the High Court last week. In the insurance industry, this means the driver was aware that his actions would cause an accident, thereby voiding the insurers' liability to make a payout. By suing AXA, Mr Ma's family wants the High Court to reject this finding by AXA. The lawsuit, believed to be the first such reported case in Singapore, is emerging as a public interest issue as to what the circumstances, under which an insurer can reject liability by treating accidents as "collisions", are. In the crash, Mr Ma had allegedly run a red light in Rochor Road. He rammed into a taxi, which then hit a motorcycle. The accident left three, including Mr Ma, dead and two others injured. AXA first informed the Ma family of its decision to repudiate its liability last month. In the same month, the family replied, stating they disagreed with AXA's position, according to court documents filed. AXA responded by asking the family not to liquidate any of Mr Ma's assets, and said the case should be arbitrated. They also asked the family to supply a list of his other assets. The family's lawyer Wendell Wong then filed a suit asking the High Court to rule that the crash was indeed an accident and not a "collision" as claimed by AXA. "It is not an easy decision but the family feels that we need to seek the assistance of the Singapore courts as the insurer made the decision to repudiate liability first," said a statement released by the family yesterday. "We just want to follow the Singapore laws as to what we need to do following the accident that affected people's lives." A High Court pre-trial conference has been scheduled for next month.

  The cover is for accidental collisions.

  Not collisions caused by own reckless acts.

  But the question is would the insurers consider the claims of the other parties, or would they have to sue the deceased estate.

  This is a landmark case and if insurer gets away without paying, this will be used as a precedent.  Then many future accident cases could end up with driver being sue by counter party as insurer reject claim. Though I dislike Ma personally, I really hope the estate wins this case. Donch pray pray ohh....

  I understand that no matter what the Ferrari's insurer in this case AXA will have to pay the family of the CDG driver, the family of the Japanese woman and the motorcyclist. After that AXA will go after the Ferrari driver estate to cover the payouts. But insurance companies always try to avoid paying if possible!!!
