Car accidents in Germany - What to do? What not to do?

Many still consider Germany the country of fast driving witout any limits and is as such unique in the world. But if problems on the road do occur, many rules are strange and unknown to foreign travelers.

How are you?

 

Here are the 7 worst mistakes you should avoid when you are involved in an accident on Germany's roads:

  1. It is a mistake not to call the police, because every accident must be registered by the police, otherwise problems are inevitable with the insurance companys.
  2. It is a mistake not to secure the accident site: the first action after an accident must be securing the accident site, so no secondary accidents will happen. If you don't take this measure it will cost you a minimum of 30 euros.
  3. It is a mistake to drive the car to the side of the road too soon quickly. First, mark the car's positions with a chalk marker, and then take pictures. If only minor damage has occurred, the vehicle must be taken off the road speedily.
  4. It is a mistake not to include all data in the claim report. Otherwise there will be delays in settling the claims. The insurance company pays only when all necessary data are reported. It is best to use a form to report a damage.
  5. It is a mistake to make incorrect claim reports. In case of false declarations, the insurance company pays less or nothing at all.
  6. It is a mistake to negotiate with the opposing insurance company by yourself: When it gets complicated, best to turn to a lawyer; and consult with your own insurance company in any case.
  7. It is a mistake to make decisions without consultating your own insurance company: When the insurance company must pay, they may also decide where, for example, a vehicle shall be repaired.
