After the fire on May 1 on Lam Luk KaNimit Mai Road, police collected evidence and took pictures of the source of fire that spread from a 10rai rice field to a garbage recycling factory and into the showroom. Results should be complete in a week.
Showroom manager Den Nilpat said most cars would get insurance compensation. However Nissan would help pay the amount of damage not covered by insurance and also help those without any insurance, he added.
An Office of Insurance Commission official said insurance companies would pay compensation to affected car owners with First Class policies as this case was a legal violation. But second and third class insurance wouldn’t include such a provision and insurance companies would need to sue whoever caused the fire.
