European accident form

Bericht door Hasitha »

In all questions related to accidents with material damage only, i saw drivers should fill "European accident form" on the place that accident happen.
I have 2 questions on this.

1. Is it means, do the drivers always keep "European accident form" in the car to fill it when ever a accident is happen?
2. Once fill the form (together), what should do next? (The driver, the damaged party)
3. Do the drivers should fill that form with material damage with casualties?

It's best to keep these in the car, but not mandatory.

You can already fill in 1 side of the form at home if you want to, so you don't need to do so after an accident.

Some insurance companies have stickers with most of your details already on them, and some you need to fill in yourself (best done at home beforehand)
When you have an accident, you can simply put the sticker on the EA Form

That way, you only need to fill in the accident details after an accident.
Lots quicker, less errors.

2. Once fill the form (together), what should do next? (The driver, the damaged party)
There's an original (top) form and a carbon copy underneath
One party gets the top form, the other party the lower copy - it's not important who gets which ...

Just make sure everyone pushed hard enough on the paper so the print is copied onto the carbon copy as well.

Both parties return their part of the completed form to their insurance company of broker


3. Do the drivers should fill that form with material damage with casualties?
Calling the police is mandatory :!:
They will take statements, officially note down the accident circumstances, which may lead to prosecution of either party

You may still fill in the EAF

Thanks Inazuma for the quick and detail answers.
Where can we get these forms? Through web? Police? Or from a specific place?

Usually through your insurance company or your local insurance broker

https://www.smeno.com/fileadmin/user_up ... e_auto.pdf (French and English)
https://www.kfz-auskunft.de/info/unfallbericht.pdf (German)

If you have all three, no one can say that he doesn't want to fill out the form because he doesn't understand the language.
