To record the traffic accident case as human injury traffic accident, it's necessary to submit the medical certificate with the police. However, policemen don't always accept the medical certificate. In this article, we explain the reasons.
The police make an “On-the-spot Investigation Report” showing detailed information about the traffic accident. It is for the criminal record of the traffic accident. Since police make it as a third party, it will be one of the strong evidence on what exactly happened in the accident scene. Both a victim and an at-fault driver use the report for supporting their argument when their negotiation doesn’t go well.
Give aid to the injured, call an emergency service, police, and insurance companies. If you have some extra time, collect information on the accident scene by taking pictures and recording the conversation with the police.
If police categorize the accident as a personal injury traffic accident, the at-fault driver could incur both administrative and criminal penalties. If the accident is categorized as a property damage traffic accident, the people involved in the crash could incur an only administrative penalty.
