After a car accident, quick securing of the scene is crucial. This means setting up warning signs, securing the vehicle, protecting road users, and ensuring safety on the road. We handle this professionally and quickly.
Securing the accident scene is not just a law, but also about safety. Every accident requires precise actions — from the first minutes until the arrival of law enforcement. We know the procedures and act in accordance with the regulations.
What does accident scene security involve
Accident scene security includes several key actions:
- Setting up warning triangles — minimum distance of 50–100 meters behind the vehicle
- Turning on hazard lights — on all vehicles involved in the accident
- Securing the vehicle — positioning the vehicle in a safe place, engaging the handbrake
- Protecting road users — moving passengers off the road, reflective vests
- Reporting to the police — number 997 for any accident with damages
- Documenting the scene — photos of damages, vehicle position
How many days to report an accident
Temporary requirements for reporting a car accident:
- Accident with damages — report to the police immediately (997), do not leave the scene
- Injured persons — call an ambulance (998) as a priority
- Report to the insurer — within 7 days of the accident, deadlines may be extended
- Documents for the insurer — police report, photos, statements from the parties

Frequently asked questions about securing the accident scene
No. It is a crime. You must wait for the police (997). The only exception is if you call an ambulance — then you can accompany the injured person.
On average 15–30 minutes in the city, sometimes longer in rural areas. It depends on the police workload in the region. You can wait safely outside the vehicle.
You can, but you don't have to do it right away. Wait for the police — they will advise whether the vehicle is drivable or needs towing. Then call us.
Call an ambulance immediately (998). Do not move the injured person — wait for the medical team. Notify the police.
Take photos of the entire situation: vehicle damage, accident scene, other vehicles, license plates, the whole scene. The more photos, the better for the insurer.
Not always. Liability insurance covers civil responsibility. But if you have Assistance — it may be covered. Check your policy. We accept cash or bank transfer.
If there is vehicle damage — yes, report to the police. The police must document every accident. It's not because you're doing something wrong — it's an insurance procedure.
No, wait for the police. The police must assess the safety of the vehicle. If the vehicle is on fire — leave it immediately and wait from a safe distance.
Remember the license plate number, vehicle description, and witness details. This is a hit-and-run — a crime. Notify the police (997), and the insurance company will inform the BRD system.
