MADDE 130 · II. Sorumluluk sigortalarında

Başkasını çalıştıran kişi, çalıştırdığı kişiye karşı hukuki sorumluluğunu güvence altına almak üzere sigorta yaptırmışsa, sigortadan doğan haklar doğrudan doğruya çalışana ait olur.

Ancak, çalışana ödenecek sigorta tazminatı, genel hükümlere göre ödenecek tazminattan indirilir.

Diğer hukuki sorumluluk sigortalarına ilişkin kanun hükümleri saklıdır.
