What is the procedure to follow after a vehicle collision?
1 Answers
Vehicle collision handling procedure is as follows: 1. Preserve the accident scene and promptly report to the traffic management department at the accident location for on-site investigation. If you're determined to be at fault (regardless of degree), you must notify your insurance company. If not at fault, insurance notification isn't required as this affects your no-claim discount for next year's renewal; 2. File the claim promptly. Bring your insurance policy, vehicle registration, and driver's license (if not confiscated) along with the damaged vehicle to your insurer. Complete the Vehicle Accident Registration Form and Accident Notification Form at the claims department, assisting claims adjusters with vehicle inspection; 3. Damage assessment. Take the Vehicle Accident Registration Form to the claims department's assessor to determine repair items and costs; 4. Vehicle repair. When delivering the car for repairs, present the Damage Assessment Sheet to the repair shop. The shop will perform repairs according to the specified items. After repairs, pay the fee using the Vehicle Pick-up Slip to retrieve your car, while obtaining repair invoices stamped with the shop's official seal, Repair Authorization Form, Work Order, and Parts List; 5. Obtain accident certification. Bring the other party's repair invoice and jointly visit the traffic police station to close the case, obtaining an officially stamped Accident Certificate to reclaim any confiscated documents.
