European Accident Statement

The layout is the same in many languages, so drivers from different countries can use it. It records the vehicles, insurers, damage, a sketch and boxes for the circumstances. Both drivers sign it, and each keeps a copy. In Turkey a similar agreed report, the kaza tespit tutanağı, is used for accidents with only material damage.

Insurers use the agreed facts on the form to decide liability and process the claim faster.

Do not sign a statement you disagree with; add your remarks or refuse to sign. Call the police if anyone is injured or the other driver does not cooperate.
