After a traffic accident, there are many aspects that need to be considered. The Bavarian State Ministry of Justice has compiled the most important rules for behavior immediately after the accident and a series of tips and advice for problems that arise later in the guidebook "Legal tips on traffic accidents".
It contains information on how to behave at the scene of an accident - stopping, securing the accident site and helping the injured, exchanging personal details, the need for the police to record the accident or settle minor claims without the police, securing evidence, warning against admissions of guilt and uninvited accident helpers - as well as information on compensation or tips for accidents involving foreigners or abroad.
