Cap. 104 чл. 16Payments and insurance in respect of emergency treatment of injuries arising from the use of motor vehicles on the road.

(1) Where medical or surgical treatment or examination is immediately required as a result of bodily injury (including fatal injury) to any person caused by, or arising out of, the use of a motor vehicle on a road, and the treatment or examination so required (in this article referred to as "emergency treatment") is effected by a licensed medical practitioner, the person who was using the vehicle at the time of the event out of which the bodily injury arose shall, on a claim being made in accordance with the provisions of the next succeeding article, pay to the practitioner or, where emergency treatment is effected by more than one practitioner, to the practitioner by whom it is first effected, such fee as may be from time to time prescribed.

(2) Where emergency treatment is first effected in a hospital (that is to say, an institution which provides medical or surgical treatment for in-patients) the provisions of the foregoing subarticle with respect to the payment of a fee shall, so far as applicable, have effect with the substitution of references to the hospital for references to a licensed medical practitioner.

(3) Liability incurred under this article by the person using the vehicle shall, where the event out of which it arose was caused by the wrongful act of another person, be treated for the purposes of any claim to recover damage by reason of that wrongful act, as damage sustained by the person using the vehicle.

(4) In article 4(1), the reference to liability in respect of death or bodily injury shall be deemed to include a reference to liability to make a payment under this article in respect of emergency treatment required as a result of bodily injury, and the proviso to that paragraph shall not have effect as respects liability to make a payment under this article.
