How to fill out an accident report correctly?

General recommendations

2. When registering an accident, blank notification forms from any driver can be used.
3. The presence of blots, errors and typos in the notice leads to problems when registering an insurance event.
4. If the second driver refuses to fill out the notice, fill out the document yourself. Be sure to indicate the make and model, state registration plate and color of the vehicle of the other participant in the accident. If there are witnesses, please include their details in the notice.

Procedure in case of an accident with several vehicles

1. Fill out two sets of accident reports: one with the driver who was in front of you at the time of the accident, the other with the driver who was behind you at the time of the accident.
2. If your vehicle was “pushed” onto a vehicle that was in front of you, indicate this circumstance in paragraph 15 of the notice. Indicate in each notice exactly who “pushed” your vehicle.

Rules for filling out a notification of an accident under compulsory motor liability insurance in 2019

A notification of an accident under compulsory motor liability insurance is a document that contains a description of the circumstances, causes and details of the road accident. It is filled out by drivers, both in the presence of a traffic police inspector, and independently. This paper is needed so that the victim can receive compensation for damages under compulsory motor liability insurance from the insurance company.

What is a notification of an accident under compulsory motor liability insurance?

The notice is filled out at the scene of the accident - it contains information about which of the drivers is the culprit and which is the victim. Notification of an accident is submitted to the insurance company within 5 days from the date of the accident, and it is on its basis that a decision is made to pay insurance compensation to the injured party.

Road accident notification forms are issued by the insurance company each time a compulsory motor liability insurance policy is renewed, so it is advisable to always carry at least one copy of this document with you. You need to be especially careful when filling out the notice - blots and inaccuracies can lead to refusal to pay insurance compensation.

Good to know! In fact, a notification of an accident is the only document that is filled out when filing an accident yourself. One of its most common names is “Europrotocol”.

When notice is required

The need, as well as the specifics of drawing up and transferring a European protocol to the insurer, are determined by Federal Law No. 40 “On insurance of vehicle owners” and “Rules for compulsory insurance of vehicle owners.”

A notification of an accident must be filled out in all cases, regardless of whether the traffic police is involved in the registration or not - this will simplify the procedure for receiving payment from the insurance company. It is worth noting that in some cases, drivers can do without the help of a traffic inspector. In Art. 11.1 of Federal Law No. 40 provides the following circumstances under which an accident can be recorded without involving the traffic police, namely:

• if the accident caused damage only to vehicles and (or) their trailers;
• only when registering an accident that occurred due to a collision between two vehicles;
• none of the drivers, passengers or pedestrians were injured as a result of the incident;
• both drivers have a common view on the causes of the collision and agree on the question of which of them is to blame for the accident;
• both drivers have a valid MTPL policy.

After filling out and signing this important document by both parties, both copies of the accident notice are sent to the insurance companies where each of the participants in the accident is insured within 5 days. The victim must attach to his copy a statement of direct compensation for damages.

In what cases is the participation of a traffic police officer mandatory?

It is not always possible to fill out a European protocol, which is why Federal Law No. 40 regulates the above cases in which you are allowed to record the circumstances of an accident yourself. Clause 2.6 of the Russian Traffic Regulations contains the following:

• If the accident results in harm to life and health, then you cannot do without calling the traffic police.

Important! The presence of the slightest bruise or scratch on one of the participants in the accident is a reason to contact the traffic inspectors for proper registration of the accident. It often happens that a person is in a state of shock and claims that he is completely fine, and after a couple of hours he has to seek medical help. This may result in a refusal to pay insurance due to improper registration of a traffic accident.

Other good reasons for the involvement of a traffic inspector:

• the participants cannot come to mutual agreement because they have different views on the causes, circumstances and outcome of the accident. This case is not always the basis for a patrol inspection. Most often, the traffic police officer gives recommendations regarding the collection of evidence to both drivers over the telephone and invites them to the department to clarify the details;
• more than 2 vehicles are involved in a traffic accident;
• in the accident, it was not the car that was damaged, but other property (building, pole, road sign, etc.);
• the victim believes that more than 50 thousand rubles will be required to restore the vehicle;
• one of the participants in the accident does not have valid MTPL insurance or owns a CASCO policy, the terms of which require an examination by traffic police officers.

A detailed action plan on how to behave in the event of an accident can be found below. This instruction allows every driver to understand in what cases it is necessary to call a patrol, and when you can do without it.

Where to get forms

As already mentioned, 2 copies of road accident notification forms are issued when applying for an MTPL policy. It is advisable to always have them with you. What to do if the driver forgot to take them with him or does not have them at all, since he issued an insurance contract online?

1. To obtain European protocol forms, you just need to go to your insurer’s office at any time - they will never refuse to issue an extra form.
2. Insurance companies try to leave blank notice forms at gas stations and post offices.
3. If the document was not available during the accident, and you need it right now, you can ask passing drivers for it.
4. The notification form can be downloaded from the Internet and printed.

Filling out a form printed from the Internet is not very convenient and takes twice as long. The document issued by the insurer has a self-copying basis, so drawing up a European protocol on such a form is faster and less likely to make mistakes.

Rules for filling out a notification of an accident

Drivers fill out the European protocol form at the same time. Of course, this means that they enter the data one by one - each fills out their part of the notice. The document contains the following information: about insurance companies, the date and place of the accident, information about the insurance of participants, the circumstances of the accident and a description of the damage received. On the reverse side, drivers can further describe the details of the incident.

Sample of a completed notice and features of its completion

It is better to fill out the document with a ballpoint pen - the pencil is easy to erase, and gel ink smudges and does not print well on carbon paper. All questions given in the document must be answered: put a check mark or a cross in the appropriate cell and draw a dash or cross out lines that are not related to the incident in this particular case.

Sample of filling out a notification about an accident:

After filling out the notice, both drivers must sign and separate the top copy from the carbon copy paper. Both of these sheets have the same strength, so it makes absolutely no difference who gets which copy. Then each driver fills out the back of the European protocol, and does this without anyone else's participation. You can make an additional description of the circumstances of the accident at home, but it is recommended not to delay this and fill out the form right at the scene of the accident.

Filling out the front side

The first 6 points on the front side of the notice are information about the place and date of the accident, the number of injured people, damaged vehicles, etc. As a rule, no questions arise when filling out these and subsequent items. Please pay attention to filling out the following fields:

• paragraph 7 – witnesses. This is an important aspect that greatly helps to receive an insurance payment as soon as possible, especially if the culprit fled the scene of the accident. If there are passengers or eyewitnesses, their data is needed - full name and contacts;
• item 13 – indicate the location of the initial impact, marking it with an arrow in the figure;
• clause 14 – nature and list of damaged parts and elements. At this point it is necessary to describe the damage received as concisely and at the same time briefly. It is also recommended to state that the driver does not exclude the possibility of hidden damage;
• paragraph 16 – it is necessary to note under what circumstances the accident occurred (I was making a U-turn, leaving the parking lot, etc.)

At the bottom of the sheet, a diagram of the accident is depicted as clearly as possible and the signatures of both parties are placed under the information that each driver filled out, and in the middle of the sheet - in order to confirm the absence of disagreements.

Filling out the sheet on the back

On the back, each driver describes his vision of what is happening, notes whether the car can move under its own power, what other property was damaged, and indicates additional information about the insurance of other participants in the accident (if there are more than two of them).

At the bottom of the document, notes are filled out, the date, signature and name of the driver filling it out are put.

What to do next with the notification

According to the law, the notification completed by both parties must be submitted within 5 days after the incident. If the culprit does not do this, his insurance company will refuse to pay for the damage and will oblige him to pay for repairs to the victim’s car from his own pocket.

If the circumstances of the accident were recorded by the traffic police, then the culprit is not obliged to hand over the data.

On a note! The maximum possible amount of compensation from the insurance company is 50 thousand rubles.

FAQ

1. What to do if the second driver refuses to fill out the European protocol?

In this case, the victim must call the traffic police and fill out the document himself, entering in it the number and make of the car of the second participant in the accident. The fact that one of the participants does not want to fill out the document will not affect the payment of compensation in any way.

1. There is no notification form. What to do?

It doesn't matter whose form you fill out. It can be provided by both the culprit and the victim. If none of them have a European protocol, you can ask passing drivers for it. But in the case when it is not possible to get an accident notification form from someone, you can either go home or call the State Traffic Inspectorate.

1. If one of the participants in an accident died on the spot, is it worth filling out a report for him?
