Recent data from VSK Insurance House, shared with socialbites.ca, highlights which cars were most often involved in insurance claims this year and suggests that driver behavior plays a major role in these incidents. The study identifies Lada, Kia, and Hyundai as the brands most frequently cited in accident reports, underscoring the reality that the responsibility in many claims rests with the owners and their driving patterns rather than the cars alone.
In the anti-rating of models most commonly linked to incidents, VSK lists several specific models as leaders. The lineup includes the Lada Granta, Kia Rio, Hyundai Solaris, Lada Priora, Lada Kalina, Lada Vesta, and Toyota Corolla. The ranking reflects a combination of high ownership numbers and the probability of collisions occurring within those vehicle classes. The evaluation suggests a pattern where certain popular models are more likely to appear in insurance claims due to factors such as age, usage, and driving conditions encountered by their owners.
