European Accident Statement

For an accident in Ireland, Crashform uses the European Accident Statement layout. Check with your insurer what it needs and how to submit it.

Preparing a document is separate from filing a claim. Crashform does not decide liability or guarantee acceptance by every insurer.

Practical guide

How to fill in an accident report form in Ireland

What the law asks of drivers

Section 106 of the Road Traffic Act 1961 requires a driver to stop and remain at the scene for a reasonable time. According to a guide from odo.ie, if no Garda attends you must report the collision to a Garda as soon as possible. This guide treats 24 hours as a safe benchmark, not as statutory wording. Call 999 or 112 if anyone is injured.

Exchange details and tell your insurer

Note the other driver’s name, address, phone number, insurer, policy number and registration, plus any witnesses. The same guide advises telling your insurer within 24 to 48 hours, even if you do not plan to claim, because late notice can breach policy terms. Check your policy for its exact wording.

Uninsured drivers, injuries and Crashform

If the other vehicle is uninsured or unidentified, the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland (MIBI) exists to compensate victims. Injury claims go through the Injuries Resolution Board before court. Crashform is independent: it prepares the European Accident Statement as a PDF but does not report to Gardaí or insurers, and it does not decide who is at fault.

FAQ

Before you start.

Do I have to report a collision to the Gardaí in Ireland?

Section 106 requires you to stop and, if no Garda attends, to report the collision to a Garda as soon as possible. Gardaí may not attend minor incidents, so check with your insurer and the local station how to report.

What if the other driver has no insurance?

The MIBI compensates victims of uninsured and unidentified vehicles. If you have comprehensive cover, its FAQ says you may not need to contact MIBI and should speak to your own insurer first.

What if the other driver is from abroad or doesn’t speak English?

Each driver picks an available language on their own phone, and you enter a foreign registration manually. Crashform does not notify your insurer or the Gardaí; follow those steps separately.

Do we need to speak the same language?

No. Each person chooses from the available languages. The details belong to the same report.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Crashform works in your browser. You do not need an account to start a report.

Will my insurer accept the PDF?

Ask your insurer which documents and submission method they require. Crashform does not guarantee acceptance by every insurer.

Does Crashform decide who is liable?

No. You record details and circumstances. The document does not decide liability or compensation.
