17.03.2020

In the event of a road accident, one of the following documents is drawn up:

accident report
with injured persons;
traffic accident report with
material damage;
two-sided constitutive
accident report.

1. At road accident with injured persons is being compiled accident report and a detailed plan-scheme of the accident is prepared by the Ministry of Interior authorities. The protocol with the injured persons is drawn up within one month from the date of the incident. An investigation is carried out by the prosecution and police authorities, and it is important to consult with lawyer, who will monitor the lawful conduct of the investigation.

2. If the accident only causes material damage, but there is a disagreement between the drivers regarding the circumstances surrounding it or one of the drivers left the accident, a report is drawn up Report on a traffic accident with material damage.

Almost certainly in this case:
a) a fine will be imposed on one of the drivers;
b) you will wait at the scene of the accident until the Ministry of Interior authorities arrive.

3. If the accident caused only material damage and between the participants in the accident there is agreement regarding the circumstances surrounding it, withThey fill out a bilateral accident report.

When should I not fill out a two-sided report of findings?

Bilateral report of findings (BPR) not filled in provided that there is doubt that a participant in the accident is under the influence of alcohol and/or narcotic substances or their analogues or does not have the necessary rights to drive a motor vehicle.

When you took out Third Party Liability insurance for your car, the insurer must have provided you with a form (in duplicate) of the GCP. It contains detailed instructions on how to fill it out. You can always request a form of the protocol from your insurer if you do not have one. The bilateral report of findings is valid even when the form is not provided by the insurer.

What is the importance of different documents in a traffic accident?

The law determines, depending on the type of protocol, what is written in it and what the court must accept if a dispute arises. These are:

In the case of a bilateral report of findings – the court will consider these as proven
facts that are unfavorable to the author of the document. In other words – if it contains
plead guilty to the accident, then the court will consider this fact as
proven unless I refute it with other evidence.
In the case of a Disaster Report – the court will consider it proven: a)
the authorship of the document, and b) that what the law enforcement authorities are
personally found out, it happened like this.

In most cases, minor accidents only cause damage to the vehicles, and most often in urban conditions, the fenders, grilles, turn signals, headlights, bumpers, and hoods of the vehicles are damaged. However, accurate documentation of the situation is of utmost importance so that each driver can receive satisfaction for their claim from their insurer or the insurer of the other party in the accident.

What should be clarified with the other driver you encountered?

Do both cars have third party liability insurance?
Do the cars have comprehensive insurance?
Have the vehicles passed the GTP (annual technical inspection) and do they have a valid registration certificate?.
Do the drivers have all the documents for the cars?.
Is the other driver sober or drunk?.
Is there disagreement regarding who is at fault for the accident?
Does any of the drivers have a form for a two-sided report of findings / can it be filled out to save time?.
