What to Do at the Scene of an Accident

In a material-damage accident, act in the right order without panicking. If anyone is injured, call 112 first; otherwise document the scene and start the licensed-adjuster report process.

Safety first: if anyone is injured, call 112

The first and most important rule in any traffic accident is personal safety. If anyone is injured, call 112 immediately. An adjuster’s report is not drawn up in injury or fatal accidents; those situations are managed by law enforcement and medical teams. Contact 155 (police) in the city or 156 (gendarmerie) outside it when needed. The steps below apply only to material-damage accidents with no injuries.

Why documenting the scene correctly matters

An accident lasts only moments, but the claim process can take days or even weeks. That is why documenting the scene correctly is decisive in putting your file on firm ground. Photos taken from different angles without moving the vehicles, frames where the plates are clearly visible, and images showing road and weather conditions are the core data the adjuster relies on when forming the fault opinion.

Step by step: what to do at the scene

The order below helps you proceed without panicking. The mobile app and the 24/7 call centre are with you at every step.

  1. 1

    If anyone is injured, call 112

    Injuries first dial 112; the adjuster's report is for material damage without injury.

  2. 2

    Secure the scene

    Move the vehicle aside, switch on hazard lights, place the warning triangle.

  3. 3

    Document the scene

    Take photos and video without moving the vehicles; plates and damage clearly visible.

  4. 4

    Collect the other party's details

    Driver, plate, registration, licence and policy details.

  5. 5

    Open Alo Tutanak / call

    Start the record in the app or call the 24/7 line.

  6. 6

    The adjuster draws up the report

    The SBM-registered adjuster prepares the report with a fault opinion and sketch.

The licensed-adjuster difference

Unlike the simple mutual report drivers fill out themselves, the licensed-adjuster report is drawn up under Law 5684 art. 22/17 by an SBM-registered insurance adjuster and includes a fault opinion and a sketch. This keeps your case strong even if the other driver denies the accident or the statements conflict. The whole process is free for the user — the adjuster fee is covered by the traffic insurance.
