How to Fill Out a Spanish Accident Report (Parte Amistoso) in Bergara: Downloadable Template

If you have been involved in a minor traffic accident in Bergara, the "Declaración Amistosa de Accidente" (often called the "Parte Amistoso") is the standard document used across Spain to settle claims with insurance companies. It is a dual-language form (though usually printed in Spanish) that simplifies the claims process by establishing the facts of the collision without needing immediate police intervention for minor damage. Below, you will find a guide and a template to help you document the incident correctly.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Bergara

Once both parties have signed the document, you must follow these steps to ensure your insurance claim is processed correctly in Bergara:

• Fill it out immediately: Do this at the scene of the accident if it is safe to do so. Ensure all fields (contact info, insurance policy numbers, and vehicle details) are legible.
• Sketch the incident: Use the central box on the form to draw the position of the vehicles at the moment of impact.
• Submit to your insurer: You must submit your copy to your insurance company within 7 days of the accident. You can usually do this via their mobile app, email, or by visiting a local insurance office in Bergara.
• Local Authorities: If the accident occurred in Bergara and involved significant damage, injuries, or a hit-and-run, you must contact the Policía Municipal de Bergara (located at the Town Hall area) or the Ertzaintza to file an official police report (Atestado), which is different from this friendly accident report.

Additional documentation required

To support your claim, your insurance company in Spain will typically require the following:

• Photographs: Take clear photos of both vehicles, the license plates, the position of the cars on the road, and any traffic signs or markings involved.
• Witnesses: If there were bystanders, collect their full names and contact numbers.
• Driver's License and Insurance Card: Always have a photocopy or digital image of your valid Spanish or international driver's license and your "Carta Verde" (Green Card) or proof of insurance policy handy.

Expert Tip: Never sign a "Parte Amistoso" if you do not understand or agree with the description of the accident provided by the other driver. If you disagree, do not sign it, and call the local police in Bergara to mediate and create an official report. Remember, the document is a statement of facts, not necessarily an admission of legal liability—that is ultimately determined by your insurance company's legal department.
