In addition, provide a plan of the accident site and, if possible, photo documentation of the accident site.
Always try to call the police to an accident. However, it is important to bear in mind that in many countries, police investigate only certain types of accidents, e.g. those involving personal injury, death or extensive material damage.
If-the accident is investigated by the police, sign the police report only if you agree-with its wording. If you disagree, please state your objections. The same applies to the signature on the Accident Report. However, do not sign anything you do not understand or agree with. In many countries, a signed Accident Report is taken as an acknowledgement of fault.
Write down the names and addresses of the drivers of the other vehicles involved, the details of these vehicles (registration number, license plate, type and colour of the vehicle) and the witnesses to the accident - as much as possible within the scope of the information. Tell any interested parties involved in the accident your name and address.
