What to Do When Rear-Ending Another Vehicle?

[DiElliot]

It is necessary to report to the police, and the traffic police will issue a liability determination document upon arrival. Based on this document, you should then contact the insurance company to file a claim (if only one party is fully at fault, only the at-fault party's insurance company needs to be contacted). If the accident determines that the rear-ending vehicle is fully at fault, you can directly claim compensation from the insurance company using the liability determination document, vehicle repair cost invoices, and the accident liability determination document issued by the traffic police. The compensation covers property damage under compulsory traffic insurance. Below are the relevant legal provisions: 1. Major traffic accidents: Violating road traffic safety laws and regulations, resulting in a major traffic accident that constitutes a crime, will lead to criminal liability and the revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license by the traffic management department of the public security organ. 2. Hit-and-run: Fleeing after causing a traffic accident will result in the revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license by the traffic management department of the public security organ, with a lifetime ban on re-obtaining the license.
