During an accident, each participant in the accident must correctly assess the situation. After a collision, drivers must stop, turn on the headlights and put up an emergency stop sign. Remember that it is forbidden to change the position of vehicles and leave the scene.
Instructions
Step 1
If there are casualties, call an ambulance and medical assistance first. Call the traffic police and call your insurance company with your details and the location of the accident. Without documentary registration, no company will pay insurance compensation, and therefore it is imperative to record what happened.
Step 2
Drivers who have had an accident fill out a notification form, indicating the data of eyewitnesses. All disagreements of the participants in the accident related to the circumstances of the incident are also indicated in this document. If the inspectors fail to establish the guilt of one of the drivers, they resort to the help of witness testimony, which can decide the outcome in one direction or another.
Step 3
Take photos of the accident to avoid hiding evidence. Do not sign any commitment or try to negotiate informally. All protocols are signed with a pen only. Before setting up the painting, make sure that all schemes, protocols and documents are drawn up correctly.
Step 4
If you do not agree with the materials of the protocol, you can refuse to sign them. Enter all important clarifications with your own hand and only after that put your signature.
Step 5
A driver who has got into an accident can leave the scene of an accident only if there are victims and they need urgent medical attention, and sending to the hospital by passing transport is impossible. After the delivery of the victim, the driver must return to the scene of the accident.
