This Helsinki-based body ultimately safeguards the rights of people harmed in traffic accidents, and it deals with the consequences when a vehicle lacks compulsory motor insurance. Its accident information institute, OTI, coordinates the road accident investigation boards, compiles accident statistics and runs the Liikennevahinkoportti data portal.
Online you can report a claim and apply for compensation, check whether a vehicle must be insured and test whether an e-scooter needs insurance. It also issues insurance and claims history certificates and offers searches for foreign insurers. The website is in Finnish, Swedish, English and Russian, and the entrance is wheelchair accessible.
