It has happened: a traffic accident – and with it comes panic. After an accident, many questions arise that can quickly be overlooked due to the stress. Therefore, it is important to document the accident as precisely as possible, for example, with photos of the accident scene and the positions of the vehicles.
Always notify the police. After the police have recorded the accident, please note down the file number so that the file can be accessed if necessary. Exchanging personal details and information about the other party's insurance should also not be forgotten.
Additionally, note down the names and contact details of any accident witnesses.
You should not make general admissions of guilt (at the accident scene). As an insured person, you are not authorized to admit guilt, either fully or partially, without your insurance company's consent, as this claim legally transfers to the insurance company.
