Driver's actions in case of an accident

Immediately stop the vehicle and remain at the scene of the accident.
If possible, try to calm down completely, because emotions are the first enemy of common sense.

Turn on the hazard warning lights, put the vehicle on the handbrake, turn off the engine (in a nervous state you can forget about all this), and only then get out of the car. Install an emergency stop sign, thus warning other road users and indicating

collision site.

Damage to the vehicle is insignificant1, no material damage was caused to third parties, and the participants in the accident have decided who is to blame for the situation

1. Having drawn up a diagram of the incident and signed it, you should arrive at the nearest traffic police post or police department to register the incident.

2. If you have a road accident notification form (Euro Protocol), use it to register a road accident using a simplified procedure. The conditions that must be met, as well as the procedure for drawing up this document, are given here

Immediately call the number “ 03 ” and call an ambulance, then determine whether there are vehicles that can deliver the victim to a medical facility.

Transport victims to a medical facility in vehicles not involved in the accident.

Immediately call number “ 03 ” and call an ambulance.

Take all possible measures to provide first aid to victims or seek help from others. Perhaps, among the participants or witnesses of the accident, passengers or passersby there will be a health worker. Try to find out.

Take the victims to the nearest medical facility in your vehicle, having previously recorded the location of the traces of the incident, as well as the position of the vehicle after it stopped.

At the hospital, provide your full name and license plate number of the vehicle (with presentation of a driver's license or other identification document and registration document for the vehicle) and return to the scene of the incident, having previously notified the police by phone. “ 02 ” about the fact of an accident.

YES

1 Damage is considered minor if it will cost no more than RUB 50,000 to eliminate.

2 In such a situation, there are undeniable advantages for both participants in the accident: the culprit will not have to communicate with traffic police officers and appear in court to hear the case, which will save both time and nerves;
the victim will not need to contact the insurance company or court, collect the necessary evidence and wait for compensation to be paid. However, in cases where the situation is resolved on the spot “on your own,” there are certain nuances: there are often cases when one of the participants later declared to the traffic police that the culprit fled the scene of the accident, but, of course, kept silent about the negotiations and agreements reached. Or, on the contrary, the culprit refused his obligations to pay compensation. So, be careful! If you have the slightest doubt, insist on registering an accident as required by regulations - in this case, you can always count on legal assistance. 3 If the damage to the car is serious, then you will need a tow truck, so it is advisable to have the telephone numbers of towing services with you; the traffic police inspector can also provide this information.

Unfortunately, no one is safe from getting into an accident.
In such a situation it is difficult not to get confused. However, it is precisely at such moments that one should be especially vigilant and collected so as not to become guilty without guilt. The procedure for the first minutes after an accident is shown in the diagram; below are recommendations regarding your participation in the registration of an accident and your actions after the incident.

Registration of an accident
1. Communicate with traffic police officers calmly, unnecessary nerves will not help anyone.
2. Follow the drawing up of an accident diagram. Help make the necessary measurements at the scene of an accident, at the same time you can monitor whether accuracy is maintained.

3. Don't give any evidence.

During an accident, it is difficult to remain cool and reasonable, so try to communicate as little as possible with traffic police officers, citing a stressful state. The right not to testify is given to you by Article 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation .
4. Write detailed explanations. In your explanation, reflect how the accident occurred. If you are not guilty of what happened, provide data that would testify in your favor: you were moving at the permissible speed, at the permitted traffic signal, etc., indicate which lane you were in, what maneuver you were going to perform, etc.

If you realize that the accident was your fault, indicate mitigating circumstances that could affect the amount of the fine.

You can refer to the poor condition of the road, non-compliance of signs and traffic lights with the requirements of GOSTs (excerpts from the relevant GOSTs are given here) .

Perhaps the development of events was influenced by foggy weather, limited visibility of the roadway, etc. Be sure to indicate that the accident occurred unintentionally.

5. Do not refuse to undergo a medical examination to determine whether you are intoxicated or intoxicated. Otherwise, it will be impossible to prove later that you were sober while driving. IMPORTANT: After an accident, do not take alcohol or any medications, including sedatives!

This may affect the test results and, accordingly, the decision in the case.

6. Carefully study the protocol drawn up by the inspector.
Detailed recommendations regarding checking the administrative protocol and adding your own explanations to it are in the section “Procedure for drawing up an administrative protocol” .

IMPORTANT:
A traffic police officer does not have the right to confiscate a driver’s license at the place where the offender stops; he can only draw up a report on an administrative offense.

What to do after an accident
1. Contact your insurance company. You need to file an insurance claim within three days. However, you will most likely receive payments only after a court decision is made.

2. Get the support of a lawyer.

3. Try to attend the court hearing in person. Check the date of consideration of the case in advance by calling the court of the area in which the accident occurred, or by going there in person. You should not expect a subpoena; it may be sent late or not sent at all.

4. Get a copy of the court decision.

The office will give you a copy. We advise you to find out the office opening hours in advance.

5. Provide documents to return your ID.

In order to have your driver's license returned, contact the regional traffic police department at the place where the accident occurred, show them a copy of the court decision (if you were awarded a fine as a punishment), the original and a copy of the receipt for payment of the fine (detailed information about payment of the fine) .
If everything is in order with these documents, your driver's license should be returned to you.

Registration of a traffic accident

A road traffic accident (RTA) is any accident involving a car. In this case, it is not at all necessary that the collision be between cars. Hitting a pedestrian, pole or tree is also an accident.

An accident is stressful for anyone, even the most experienced driver. People often get lost, panic and, as a result, fill out the paperwork incorrectly, which leads to problems in receiving insurance payments. To prevent this from happening, read the rules for registering traffic accidents.

Attention! If you have any questions, you can chat for free with a lawyer at the bottom of the screen or call: +7 (499) 938-50-82 Moscow; +7 (812) 425-68-16 St. Petersburg; +7 (800) 350-14-96 Free call for all of Russia.

Registration of an accident

According to Russian law, the culprit of the accident is obliged to compensate the damage to the injured party. The tactics for filing an accident also depend on the chosen method of covering damages. Refunds can be made in two ways:

There are several reasons why the at-fault driver would choose to compensate the injured driver without involving the insurance company. For example, the violator may not have a compulsory motor liability insurance policy. In this case, you will have to compensate for the damage from your own pocket in any case.

Another reason for the reluctance to formalize an accident may be the driver’s desire to avoid an increasing coefficient when applying for an insurance policy for the next year. Many insurers value the discount for accident-free driving under MTPL, so in the event of a minor collision they prefer to pay for the damage out of their own pocket.

Receipt for a traffic accident

If drivers decide not to resort to insurance payment and deal with compensation for damage at the scene of an accident, verbal agreements alone will not be enough.

In order to protect themselves, the parties must record the agreement on paper by issuing a receipt in case of an accident. The document is drawn up in the form of a receipt for the receipt and transfer of money.

The paper must be written in two copies for each participant in the accident.

A receipt for voluntary compensation for damage from an accident must contain the following information:

day, time, place of the accident;
information about the participants in the incident (last name, first name and patronymic of the culprit and the victim and their residential addresses);
information about wrecked cars (make, model, license plate, color);
list of damaged parts;
amount of compensation;
signatures of the parties.

Filing a report about an accident

To receive money for car repairs, you need to write a corresponding request to the insurance company in the form of an accident statement. The principle of processing compensation differs from the type of car insurance: CASCO or OSAGO.

Only the person injured in an accident can claim an insurance payment under compulsory motor liability insurance; the culprit repairs the car at his own expense. Depending on the conditions of the accident, the application is sent to your company or to the insurer of the offender.

You can receive a payment from the company where the MTPL policy was purchased if:

The collision occurred between two cars;
No other property (pole, fence) was damaged;
No one was injured;
Both the culprit and the victim have a valid insurance policy.

If at least one of these factors is violated, you will have to write a statement about the accident to the insurance company of the person causing the damage.

Required documents in case of an accident

To receive insurance payment, you must provide the insurer with certificates and completed documents in case of an accident, confirming the causes of damage to the car. The list of papers required for compensation under compulsory motor liability insurance is fixed by the relevant Law and cannot be changed by the insurance company. The list looks like this:

applicant's passport;
notarized power of attorney (if the application is not submitted by the owner of the car);
bank details for payment of funds;
papers certifying ownership of the car;
notification of an accident signed by both parties to the accident;
certificates from the police drawn up based on the results of the incident.

If, in addition to damage to the vehicle, the owner has incurred additional expenses, for example, evacuating the car from the scene of an accident or storing it in a paid parking lot, to compensate for these expenses, you must submit documents confirming this to the insurance company.

In the event of a minor accident, the OSAGO Law allows drivers not to call the police to register an accident, but to record everything themselves. Under such circumstances, to receive insurance compensation, only notification of a traffic event without traffic police certificates is sufficient.

Instructions for registering a traffic accident

If drivers decide to report a car collision without calling the police, they must make sure that the circumstances of the accident comply with the rules of compulsory motor liability insurance. It is impossible to record an accident without a traffic police certificate if the following conditions exist:

more than two cars were wrecked;
people were injured in an accident;
in addition to vehicles, other property was damaged (for example, a bump stop);
one of the participants is not insured under compulsory motor liability insurance.

If at least one of these conditions is present, you will have to wait for the instructions from the traffic police. If the above circumstances are not observed, drivers can safely file an accident on their own. To do this, it is necessary to correctly fill out a notification of an accident, the so-called European protocol.

The notice is a two-sided self-copied paper that is issued to all policyholders when purchasing an MTPL policy. On the front side there are two columns, each of which is filled out by the participants in the collision. Drivers provide information about the car and its owner, residential address, MTPL policy number, etc.

In the center of the sheet, the parties jointly draw a diagram of the traffic accident, after which they certify the document with personal signatures. Further, the European protocol is divided in half, and drivers independently draw up the back side of the document, where they describe the detailed circumstances of the event.

After registration of an accident, a notification about a traffic accident is submitted to the insurer not only by the victim, but also by the culprit. This obligation is spelled out in the MTPL Law. If the tortfeasor ignores the rule and does not send a copy of the paper to his company, the insurer has the right to demand from the violator reimbursement of expenses spent on compensating the damage to the victim.

Registration of a traffic accident with the participation of a traffic police officer takes much more time. The wait for the police can sometimes last for several hours. But the inspector will fill out all the necessary certificates, which guarantees that the victim will receive an insurance payment within the limit for compulsory motor liability insurance. Today this figure is 400 thousand rubles.

If there are still controversial issues, you can also consult free of charge via chat with a lawyer at the bottom of the screen or call: +7 (499) 938-50-82 Moscow; +7 (812) 425-68-16 St. Petersburg; +7 (800) 350-14-96 Free call for all of Russia.

Having arrived at the scene of the accident, the traffic police officer will record what happened and issue drivers with certificates of accidents in form No. 154, as well as related documents. Depending on the reason that caused the accident, these could be:

Determination of refusal to initiate proceedings regarding an administrative offense;
A ruling on initiating an administrative case and a ruling on a fine.

All these papers will be needed to receive insurance payment.

Drawing up an accident diagram

If drivers call the police to an accident, they do not need to worry about drawing up an accident report. The inspector will do this for them, having previously measured the roadway and the location of the damaged cars. Participants in the incident will only have to check the accuracy of the document and sign to indicate their consent.

When a car collision is registered according to the European protocol, the driver is forced to draw the diagram themselves. This often causes them serious difficulties. In fact, there is nothing complicated in drawing up a diagram. You just need to indicate the lanes of the roadway, the colliding cars and the directions of their movement. It would be useful to draw traffic lights or priority signs.

Statute of limitations for road accidents

The statute of limitations for an accident is the period of time during which the culprit can be held accountable for the violation committed. For the victim of an accident, this period is important, because after its expiration it will be impossible to claim insurance payment or compensation for damage personally from the person causing the harm.

The limitation period is enshrined in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to the document, the time for registering and filing a claim for all types of liability, including civil liability, is 3 years.

Deadline for contacting insurance after a traffic accident

The deadline for contacting the insurance company to receive payment is set forth in clause 3.11 of the MTPL Rules and is 5 working days from the date of registration of the accident. This means that within the specified time the victim must provide the insurer with a statement about the event and the documents necessary to compensate for the damage.

If the car is insured not only under MTPL, but also under CASCO, the owner should clarify the period for submitting an application in the insurance rules of a particular insurer. Usually this period is extended to 10-15 working days.

Refusal to pay on the basis of a violation of the time for filing an application for payment can be easily appealed in court, provided that the plaintiff complies with the statute of limitations.

Time frame for an accident investigation

As a rule, the investigation of a traffic accident occurs in two cases:

The culprit left the scene of the accident;
People were injured in the collision.

If an accident results in harm to human health or death, an investigation into the circumstances of the event can take up to six months.

During this time, the investigator interviews witnesses and victims of accidents, conducts a forensic medical examination and collects evidence.

Depending on the category of harm, the culprit will face administrative or even criminal liability.

Terms of examination after a traffic accident

In order to calculate the amount of compensation due to the victim in the event of an accident, the insurance company is obliged to organize an examination of the damage to the car.

For this purpose, the insurer is allocated 5 working days from the date of receipt of the claim for compensation and all necessary documents.

During this time, the company issues the applicant a referral to have the car involved in a traffic accident inspected by an independent expert. The referral will indicate the day, time and address of the assessment.

If the vehicle is not available for inspection on the specified day, a new date is agreed upon. Thus, the inspection period can be extended to 20 working days. If the victim fails to fulfill his obligation to show the car, the insurance company returns the application for insurance payment back to him.

If the insurer deliberately does not inspect the victim’s car, you can independently organize an examination, which the company will be obliged to take into account when making an insurance payment. The costs of assessment are also reimbursed by the insurer.

Deadline for payment for road accidents

According to the MTPL Law, the period for payment of insurance compensation to the victim cannot exceed 20 calendar days from the date of submission of all documents required by the rules and inspection of the vehicle involved in the accident. Please be aware that this period does not include official holidays. This means that at the time of, for example, the New Year holidays, the period for consideration of the application is suspended.

If the insurer has not paid compensation within the specified time, the victim has the right to insist on payment of the penalty. The amount of penalties is 1% of the payment amount for each day of delay. In order to file a penalty, you must send a written request to the insurance company indicating the amount of the penalty.

Liability in case of an accident

The driver, driving a car, that is, a vehicle of increased danger, bears three types of responsibility:

Civil;
Administrative;
Criminal.

In case of an accident, the civil liability of the person responsible for the collision lies in his obligation to compensate for all harm caused by him to other people. For example, repair a broken car or apply for compensation for the cost of repairing a fence. If the culprit has insured his civil liability under a compulsory motor liability insurance policy, the insurance company will bear the costs within the insured amount.

Criminal is the most severe type of liability. Bringing a driver under articles of the Criminal Code is possible in case of serious violations that cause the death of people or cause serious harm to their health.

Features of registration of a traffic accident

Traffic rules clearly regulate the actions of drivers involved in an accident. First of all, you need to stop the car and turn on the hazard lights and install a special sign on the road.

Next, you should make sure that no one involved in the accident requires medical attention. If necessary, call an ambulance and use a first aid kit. If the situation is critical, it is allowed to leave the scene of the accident in order to take the victim to the hospital.

If drivers cannot come to an agreement about the culprit of the incident, the volume and extent of visible damage, they should call the traffic police, then the inspector himself will make a decision on the controversial issue.

WHAT TO DO IF PEOPLE ARE KILLED OR INJURED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT?
— provide first aid to the victims, call an ambulance and the police; - in emergency cases, send the victims along the way, and if this is not possible, take your vehicle to the nearest medical facility, provide your last name, vehicle registration plate and return to the scene of the accident; — clear the roadway if the movement of other vehicles is impossible, having previously fixed the position of the vehicles in relation to each other; - write down the names and addresses of eyewitnesses and wait for the police to arrive. Recording the circumstances of the accident is the first step to identify the culprit. Organize a detour to the accident site and try to take all measures to preserve the details of the accident. It is important to keep the location of the car, as well as all objects/parts that are directly or indirectly related to the accident, in their original position until the traffic police inspectors arrive.

Remember that without recording all the data, causes and circumstances in the documents about the accident, you will receive an insurance payment only for those damages that are recorded in certificate No. 748. PUNISHMENT FOR LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT Deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 1 to 1.5 years or administrative arrest for up to 15 days.

Attention

• Paperwork takes place only with the participation and presence of the driver. • Be sure to make sure that absolutely all damage to the car is recorded by the inspector in documents down to the smallest detail.

Avtoexperts.ru

If there are victims as a result of an accident, the diagram should be drawn up on graph paper, to scale. Participants in an accident have the right not only to participate in drawing up the diagram, but also to make comments and demand that their additions and clarifications be included in the document.

The diagram is signed by the drivers and, if your clarifications are not included there, you should indicate this when signing it.

When the inspector describes the damage to the vehicles of the participants in the accident, check the completeness of the information about the damage to each vehicle resulting from the accident, and in the case of possible hidden defects, make an appropriate entry.

After this, the inspector will ask you to write an explanation. This is also a very important moment. Experienced drivers resort to a formula that means that all explanations will be given by them when analyzing an accident in the administrative practice department.

Actions in case of an accident - instructions for the driver

If serious consequences occur (there are victims), the material is sent to the investigation body of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, which issues a decision to refuse to initiate a criminal case, or sends the material to the jurisdiction to resolve the issue of initiating a criminal case.

The body of inquiry is obliged to make a decision on the materials of the accident within a period of no more than 10 days from the date of its receipt by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate (Article
109 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation).

When materials on jurisdiction are received, the investigator makes a decision to refuse to initiate a criminal case, or if there are signs of a crime, a criminal case is initiated under Art. 264, art. 265 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

After all, the exact position of the cars in which the inspector found them is entered into the road accident diagram. As soon as the participants dispersed, it is formally considered that they left the scene of the accident - that is, they committed an offense, which, in accordance with Article 12.

27 of the Code of Administrative Violations of the Russian Federation, may entail a fine in the amount of 10 to 15 times the minimum wage (or 1000-1500 rubles) or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of six months to one year, or administrative arrest for a period of up to fifteen days. As a rule, the final decision on the guilt or innocence of a particular participant is made not by the inspector at the scene of an accident, but by an employee of the administrative practice of the traffic police.

Calling the traffic police By law, every accident must be registered. It is possible to resolve the issue without involving traffic police officers in the event of minor damage to the vehicle, the consent of the parties and the absence of victims. But there are three points to consider here:

without registration it is difficult to count on compensation from the insurer;
the process of covering damage becomes more complicated;
the law is broken. If you leave the scene of the incident, there is a “chance” of getting up to 15 days of arrest or being left without a license for 1-1.5 years.

Documents When deciding what to do after an accident, it is worth paying attention to documents, because the bureaucratic component plays a major role in accident investigations. The more accurate the information and the more of it, the higher the chance of reaching the correct conclusion.

Driver's actions during a car accident

Attention

What should a driver do in the first minutes after an accident? An accident is a great stress for any person. What can we say about the driver, who is also responsible for the lives of his passengers.

Everyone has their own reaction to an accident - from aggression to lethargy, but the most important thing in such a situation is to control yourself, not to succumb to any possible provocations and not to admit your guilt even if it is obvious (only a court can establish guilt).
Therefore, breathe evenly and deeply and remember what to do in the event of an accident: • Stop immediately. • Turn on the hazard warning lights and immediately put up a warning triangle. • Do not touch or under any circumstances move any objects that are in one way or another related to the accident. • Provide all possible assistance to the victims and call an ambulance.

A fight with the person responsible for the accident will lead to only one thing - a statement to the police and new problems;

Don't act hastily. Think before you move or put anything away.
During the trial, every little detail matters;
don't get lost. The ability to prove innocence or reduce the level of punishment (if there is still guilt) depends on literacy and clarity of actions.

Above we discussed in general terms what to do in the event of an accident.

Now let's take a closer look at each of the points: 1. Stopping the car Despite the simplicity of the recommendation (which is easier than stopping), there are nuances here.

After arriving at the scene of the incident, traffic police officers measure the distances between the vehicle and other objects. This means that you need to stop immediately, and not after 70-100 meters on the side of the road.

The individual entrepreneur will compensate for damage caused by his employee who was in the performance of his labor obligations (and not necessarily in accordance with employment contracts). That is, the legal entity will be the defendant in court.

The driver is involved as a third party on the part of the defendant. If the driver involved in the accident was not on duty, but was carrying out instructions from management, he will be considered to be on duty.

The company has the right to demand that the employee reimburse all funds (Article 1081 of the Civil Code). If a company employee does not want to voluntarily pay the required amount, you can go to court. But it is worth remembering that funds can be recovered from the driver only if he is at fault (Article 233 of the Labor Code, Article 1064 of the Civil Code). The employee's responsibility is specified in Art. 243 TK.

Turning on the emergency lights does not cause any problems, but many do not remember the distance at which the sign must be placed. If the accident occurred in a populated area, then the distance from the car to the sign is 15 meters or more.

If the trouble occurred outside the city, then from 30 meters. Installation of the sign is required. This is done not only for the inspector, but also for your own safety.

Other road users must see that there is danger ahead and that they need to slow down. One of the main problems is the exact location of the sign. So, at an intersection it is not clear which side he should stand on.

Make your decision after analyzing and choosing a potentially dangerous direction. 2. Important items People who are faced with problems for the first time and do not know what to do in case of an accident do not pay attention to the little things.
