      A knock-for-knock agreement is an agreement between two insurance companies whereby, when both companies’ policy-holders incur losses in the same insured event (usually a motor accident), each insurer pays the losses sustained by its own policy-holder regardless of who was responsible.

      While an insurer may be able to pursue a recovery from the party responsible for an accident or from its policy-holder, this is a costly administrative procedure.

      However, knock-for-knock agreements between insurers have been criticised as unfair on the party not responsible for an accident.

        If the other party is not responsible for the accident then

        Is he responsible for paying the losses?

          Yes. That is the biggest disadvantage.
