Who Pays After a Road Accident in Uganda? Debate Over National Fund Intensifies

Uganda’s roads are claiming more lives than ever before. But for those who survive, the greatest struggle often begins after the wreckage is cleared. As the country grapples with a rising death toll, victims, lawyers, and road safety experts are asking a critical question: who pays for the aftermath? Currently, Uganda relies on compulsory Motor Third Party insurance, but many argue it is inadequate. The debate over whether Uganda should establish a national road accident fund is gaining momentum. Proponents say such a fund would provide immediate financial relief to victims and reduce the burden on families. However, critics warn of implementation challenges and costs. The outcome could reshape how Uganda handles road safety and victim support.
