How to complete an accident report carefully

Enter observations, not assumptions. Each participant should check their own details and the shared circumstances before signing.

Before you start

Make sure the scene is safe. Have vehicle, driver, policyholder and insurance details available, along with any photographs and witness information.

During the report

Work methodically and keep roles separate.

  • Confirm which participant is party A and which is party B
  • Use the actual accident time and location
  • Mark circumstances only when they apply
  • Draw the road layout and vehicle directions clearly
  • Review corrections and revisions before signing
