This paper examines the critical disconnect between normative provisions of tort liability in Uzbekistan's Civil Code and actual enforcement practices. Despite comprehensive legislative framework establishing full compensation principles, practical application reveals systematic preference for administrative and criminal sanctions over civil remedies, leaving victims without adequate compensation. Drawing on comparative analysis of tort systems in the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, this research identifies key deficiencies in Uzbek law: absence of standardized damage calculation methodologies, weak procedural mechanisms, inadequate judicial specialization, and insufficient insurance frameworks. The study focuses on two critical areas construction defects and traffic accidents where implementation failures are most pronounced. Based on international best practices, the paper proposes comprehensive reforms including development of damage assessment guidelines, strengthening mandatory liability insurance, removing procedural barriers, establishing specialized courts, creating unified case databases, and developing alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. These reforms are essential for ensuring constitutional rights to compensation and establishing effective economic incentives for accident prevention.
