Practical tips

Some practical accident statement tips:

• Complete an accident statement whenever possible, even in the case of an accident abroad. 
• Remember that accident statement forms are identical throughout Europe.
• Write legibly using a ball-point pen.
• Complete as many statements as there were vehicles involved.
• Take the time to complete the statement carefully and as precisely as possible.
• Under no circumstances should you admit liability, as this will be assessed by your insurer.
• Avoid contradictions between the sketch and the circumstances ticked.
• Apart from an accident statement and a police report, you must avoid signing any documents in a language that you are not familiar with.
