A traffic accident is not a pleasant event anyway, and when it is also controversial, it is doubly unpleasant. Indeed, in this case, you still need to take care to prove your innocence. Otherwise, insurance companies may not accrue the due payments, and other troubles will arise.
Necessary
- video recordings;
- photos;
- scheme;
- video recorder;
- witnesses
Instructions
Step 1
First, it is imperative to find witnesses to the incident. They will help restore the picture of what happened. Be sure to take from them all their complete data: last name, first name, patronymic, address and telephone number. And then, if the witnesses cannot wait for the arrival of the traffic police patrol, give this data to the inspectors who arrived at the scene, indicating that these people can speak in your favor.
Step 2
You can also take advantage of modern technological innovations. Among them, a popular item today is a video recorder. It works like a small video camera and captures everything that happens on the road. So if the second car - a participant in an accident - suddenly flew into your lane, he will definitely record this fact. And according to Russian law, video recordings can be used as proof of your innocence.
Step 3
Do not forget to correctly draw up an accident diagram. Emergency signs must be placed so that they protect the traces of an accident from being rubbed off by other cars. For example, the braking distance. In the diagram, do not forget to indicate all the smallest details. Better to spend time at the scene than later in court proving your case.
Step 4
Another option to prove your innocence is to conduct an independent examination. To do this, you need to find a competent professional who will not only tell how he sees the picture of the incident, but also calculate all possible variants of the event. And that, in turn, can easily become your excuse.
Step 5
Do not forget to carefully photograph everything at the scene. If you do not have a camera at hand, use a cell phone. Because if the traffic police inspectors do not indicate in the protocol that the asphalt was wet and therefore you were skidded, and you sign under it, then without photo evidence you will not be able to achieve anything.
Step 6
You can try to look for recordings from outdoor surveillance cameras, if there are any around. Ask your attorney to write a request to the company servicing these machines, asking for video materials. They can help you prove your innocence.
