What is an accident report?
An accident report is a joint form that both involved parties fill out after a traffic accident. The form gives insurance companies the information they need to assess liability and process any compensation claims.
- Maps the sequence of events – what happened, where and when
- Describes visible damage on both vehicles
- Collects contact information and insurance details for both parties
- Forms the basis for the insurance company's case processing
