Tips to fill in the amicable accident report
How to fill in an amicable accident report step by step
1
Date and place of the accident
Indicate the date and place of the accident (if it is a road, the name and the km; if it is a crossroad, the two streets and the town).
2
Other damage and injuries
Indicate in these sections whether people have been injured in the accident, even if they have only been slightly injured, and whether damage exists other than to the vehicles.
3
Witnesses
Note down their name and telephone number in this section you may need them.
4
Details of the insured party and affected vehicle
In this section, each driver must choose column A or B and provide the largest amount of details possible regarding both vehicles. It is essential to indicate: vehicle brand, model, registration number and insurer.
5
Damage, observations and sketch
Mark the point of the collision and the damage caused in the accident. Do a simple sketch which reflects how the accident occurred, identifying vehicles A and B and the movement of each one with arrows. Add observations that help to understand the way in which the accident occurred.
6
Circumstances
This section is very important, since it sets forth what occurred. In this section, each driver must mark with an X the boxes that explain the manoeuvres that led to the accident. Driver A will mark the boxes of their side and driver B those of their side. If none of the circumstances describes the way in which the accident occurred, do not mark any and write in “Observations” how the accident occurred.
7
Signatures
It is important, for the report to be valid, that it is signed by both parties involved. Sign it only if you agree with what has been filled in.
8
Notify the claim as soon as possible
You can do it by phone or in your Client Area. Have the accident report at hand
