Tick the wrong box and the accident that wasn't your fault suddenly is
The European Accident Statement is a coded form with boxes to tick typical accident types.
It is very important to tick the right boxes for the right drivers, because these boxes are determining factors when it comes to deciding responsibility for the accident. If you trust a foreign driver to fill in the form in a language you don't understand, then you may end up paying hundreds or even thousands of euros in higher insurance premium if the other driver is less scrupulous than you are.
If the insurance company later want a translation of the form to their own language, then the translation can quietly be done later, after emotions or shock after the accident have calmed down.
This form is carbon in triplicate if you wish to buy one then go to THIS SITE
But if you want to download and print one yourself then go to THIS SITE so that you know the boxes are filled in correctly
The French - German version is HERE
