I am so sorry but I don’t speak French, I can’t help you with translating the European Accident Statement form. I wish I had the French version with me.
European Accident Statement: What you need to know
The European Accident Statement is a standardized form provided free of charge by motor insurers. Alternatively, it can be downloaded for free from this webpage. Available in most European languages, its primary purpose is to facilitate an agreed statement of facts after a road accident and streamline the processing of insurance claims.
Key features of the European Accident Statement
