COMPANY MOTORVEHICLE ACCIDENT

REPORTS

Sorry Team, these are more than a few lines on a piece of paper. That billboard you are driving just made

us all a liability so we need more data than this! Plus we need

photos and great scene diagram.

TELL and WRITE a Logical Report Start with

Draw like a pro!If you are involved in an accident abroad, try to stay calm. Don't leave the scene until you are fully aware of what has occurred and you have spoken with the other driver and police. In most cases, where an individual is involved in an accident abroad, the police must be called. Always remember not to admit any liability and only sign the Accident Report when you are sure that you understand the situation. Accidents take seconds to happen, but unfortunately they TAKE MONTHS to investigate and litigate, a good scene diagram helps in the process (scene pictures are ALWAYS a plus. Here are two FREE programs http://draw.accidentsketch.com/The below noted link allows you to download in Microsoft word, easy to use diagrams and pictures to fill out your reportshttp://www.claimspages.com/documents/i909/accident-scene-diagram-4-lane-highway/Accident Diagrams Tools

http://www.spokanewebsolutions.com/insurance-advice/accident-diagram-tools.docYou only need Microsoft Word and/or Paint. Most PCs have these programs.The best way to describe exactly what happenedBeing able to produce a good accident diagram can help you document your claim. 90% of the claims that I took to arbitration I won because of my diagrams. You do not have to be an expert to have a well drawn accident diagram. You simply need to adequately convey the idea of what happened. Cars/Trucks can simply be represented as “boxes”.I suggest you visit Google Earth. First look at a satellite picture of the accident scene. If you were involved in a parking lot accident, then this step is essential. A good Google Earth picture can show you the lanes of travel, buildings, visibility issues, lights, etc. If you decide to work with a Google Earth picture when creating your accident diagram, then attach this picture to your diagram. It will show that you have researched the area. The person looking at your diagram will see that you are not just drawing any street; you are drawing the actual scene of the accident.
