Download European Accident Statement forms

Essential items to keep in your car

Besides the European Accident Statement, having other required items in your car, such as a warning triangle, reflective vest, and first-aid kit, is crucial to ensure safety during emergencies and compliance with legal requirements. These items help mitigate risks and avoid fines while traveling across different European countries, where specific regulations may vary.

When language becomes a barrier

Imagine you’re on holiday and, unfortunately, you have a car accident with someone who doesn’t speak your language. Filling out the necessary accident report form can become a challenging task when communication breaks down.

Making accident reporting easy while traveling

However, the process becomes much easier if you have the form available in their language as well. Simply hand them the foreign-language version of the form, and they can fill out their details immediately without confusion.

Streamlining multilingual form submissions

What’s more, it’s perfectly acceptable to send an English version of the completed form to your insurance company while they send a French version (or another language) to theirs. As long as the forms include the same information and are signed by both parties, everything will be in order. This approach ensures a smoother resolution for both sides.
