If you become a participant in a road traffic accident, you need to register it for the payment of insurance and compensation for losses, as well as for a qualified and quick inspection of the car by the traffic police. Do not try to hide from the scene, otherwise your actions may entail an administrative imposition, even if you are not the culprit of the accident.
Necessary
- - Calling traffic police officers;
- - a call to an ambulance;
- - protocol of traffic police officers.
Instructions
Step 1
Immediately after the accident, stop and do not move, do not move objects related to the accident, and do not forget to put up an emergency stop sign at a distance of 15 meters from the car in the village and 30 meters outside the village and turn on the hazard warning lights.
Step 2
If there are casualties as a result of an accident, call an ambulance. In an emergency, send the injured to the hospital by passing transport or deliver them on your own, present your documents at the medical facility and provide their surname and return to the place of the accident.
Step 3
If, as a result of an accident, it is impossible for other road users to pass, in front of witnesses, fix the position of the vehicle and the traces of the accident with paint, chalk and improvised means and remove the car from the roadway.
Step 4
Report the incident to the police, write down the addresses and names of eyewitnesses and wait for the arrival of the traffic police. If no one was injured as a result of the accident, first draw up a diagram of the incident with another participant in the accident and sign it, registering the incident at the nearest traffic police or police post.
Step 5
If your car was damaged not as a result of an accident, but in the parking lot, call the local police officer to the place of the accident and draw up a report. Do not try to figure out what happened on your own, be sure to call the traffic police to assess the fact of the accident and the damage received. Also, do not take money or documents as a pledge from the guilty person, so that you are not accused of extortion.
Step 6
Inspect the accident site, pay attention to the condition of the road surface, illumination and visibility of signs. Upon arrival of the traffic police, do not rush to admit your guilt, make sure that all damage is recorded in the protocol, do not leave the inspector alone with the culprit, do not sign an empty or unfinished protocol. Insist on recording as much of the incident as possible. All this will help you in the future to win the case in court or alleviate your fate, as well as get the required amount of insurance.
