How to Fill Out the Accident Report

At the Accident Scene

1. General Instructions

   • Use one sentence for two involved vehicles per report (two sentences for three vehicles, etc.).
   • It doesn't matter who provides or fills out the form. Use a ballpoint pen and write firmly so that the copy is legible.

2. When Filling Out the Accident Report, Please Note:

   • Answer the questions:
     • a) according to item 8, using the information from your insurance documents (policy or Green Card)
     • b) according to item 9, using the information from your driver's license
   • Indicate the exact point of collision (item 10).
   • Mark the relevant circumstances (1-17) of your accident (item 12) and note the number of marked fields at the end.
   • Draw a sketch of the accident (item 13).

3. Witnesses

   • Provide the name of a witness to the accident, especially in case of disagreements.

4. Signatures

   • Sign the accident report and have the other driver sign it as well. Each person should keep a copy of the form.

At Home

• Indicate where and when your vehicle can be inspected by an expert (item 14).
• Do not alter the accident report under any circumstances.
• Send the form to your insurance company immediately.

Special Cases

• If the other party involved in the accident has the same form (approved by the Comité Européen des Assurances) in a different language, remember that the forms are identical and the questions have the same content. The questions are numbered for this purpose.
• The form is also valid for accidents without third-party damage, such as with comprehensive insurance.
