Ukrainians topped the list of road accidents in Poland and Germany: data for 2025.
According to inkorr.com: Ukrainian drivers are most often involved in road accidents in Poland and Germany — these countries topped the list for the number of accidents involving Ukrainians in 2025. According to data from the MTIBU, there were 3,803 incidents in Poland, which constitutes the largest share of all road accidents involving Ukrainian drivers abroad. This is reported by the publication In Poland.
In Germany, 2,175 road accidents were recorded, with the average insurance payout here being twice as high as in Poland. These two countries significantly influence the volume of compensation for Ukrainian drivers in Europe. Other EU countries show much lower figures, but compensation amounts can be higher due to more expensive repairs and insurance rates.
Top 7 EU countries by the number of Ukrainian road accidents and average payouts
Poland — 3,803 cases, average payout 2,332.4 euros
Germany — 2,175 cases, 4,759.5 euros
Czech Republic — 670 cases, 3,510.1 euros
Romania — 661 cases, 3,629.2 euros
Italy — 575 cases, 5,696.7 euros
Belgium — 289 cases, 3,461 euros
Austria — 254 cases, 3,595.9 euros.
What determines the amounts of payments for road accidents
Statistics show that Ukrainian drivers abroad face high risks on the roads, especially in countries with a large Ukrainian diaspora and active traffic. The amounts of payouts depend not only on the severity of the accidents but also on local repair and insurance rates. This information is particularly important for those who use cars in the EU — for both personal trips and during car rentals or work as a driver.
This information underscores the importance of being cautious on the roads abroad. Ukrainian-origin drivers should be careful, considering the high risks and potentially large expenses in the event of an accident. For Ukrainians planning trips or work outside the country, knowing the statistics can serve as a starting point for preparing for safe driving.
