If you’re driving a vehicle, there’s a chance that a traffic accident will happen. If this unfortunate event occurs, you or someone you know needs to deal with a traffic accident in Italy.
First and foremost, if someone is harmed in the collision, you must dial 118 for an ambulance and 112 or 113 for the appropriate authorities. If no one has sustained any significant injuries, take them—without touching—to a secure location to avoid any additional injury. Until the police come and have investigated the incident and issued a report, avoid interacting in any way with the vehicles that were involved in the collision.
After contacting all appropriate emergency services, take pictures, record license plate numbers, addresses, and any information about the parties’ insurance providers. The names, phone numbers, and addresses of any witnesses to the collision are just as crucial. After the Italian authorities have visited the scene and written a report, carefully read it before signing it, and get a duplicate that you can use to file for compensation.
If the accident was caused by the other party, you may be eligible for financial aid from that party. This aid may include medical costs, costs associated with alternative transportation, damage to the automobile, and other expenses incurred as a result of the inconvenience. Naturally, a process like this required professional assistance given the possibility that the other party would refuse to provide compensation.
By sending a request for damages via registered letter to the other party, the insurance provider, and the accident victim within a two-year window, you can collect compensation for the incident. The only alternative left to you if the insurance provider refuses to pay the agreed-upon sum for damage is to go to court and file a lawsuit against the person or entity responsible for the accident.
Due to the complexity and specifics needed, many people typically avoid going to court and filing the paperwork to insurance providers. In such situations, our organisation will be more than glad to support you through a difficult time by offering qualified assistance in completing all required paperwork and by advocating for your case in court to ensure you receive fair compensation.
