Download Your Declaración Amistosa de Accidente Template for Espejo (Word/PDF)

Navigating a minor traffic collision in Spain can be stressful, especially when language barriers or local bureaucracy come into play. A Declaración Amistosa de Accidente (commonly known as the "Parte Amistoso" or European Accident Statement) is the standard joint accident report form used across Spain. By filling out and signing this document with the other involved driver, you officially agree on the dynamics of the crash, which drastically speeds up the claims process with your insurance companies and avoids lengthy legal disputes.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Espejo

Once you and the third party have completed and signed the accident report, you do not need to visit a government office or police station in Espejo unless there were injuries, crimes committed, or disputed liabilities requiring local police intervention. Instead, follow these steps to submit it locally:

• Digital Submission: Take a clear photo or scan of both sides of the signed document and upload it directly through your insurance provider's mobile app or customer portal within 7 days of the accident (Spanish law generally mandates a 7-day notification window).
• Local Brokers or Agents: If you use an insurance broker with an office in or near Espejo, you can hand them the physical document so they can process the digital claim directly with the underwriting company.
• In case of Police Intervention: If the Local Police of Espejo (Policía Local) or the Guardia Civil attended the scene, request a copy of the police report (atestado) to attach to your insurance claim alongside your joint statement.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your insurance claim is processed without delays by your Spanish insurer, make sure you accompany your Declaración Amistosa de Accidente with the following documents:

• Your valid driving license (Permiso de Conducir) and the vehicle's technical inspection sheet (ITV).
• Clear photographs of the damage sustained by both vehicles, preferably showing their positions on the road in Espejo before moving them, if safe to do so.
• Contact details of any independent witnesses present at the scene.
• A medical report (parte de lesiones) from a local health center or hospital if any occupants experienced whiplash or physical pain resulting from the impact.

Expert tip: Never sign a Parte Amistoso if you disagree with how the other driver describes the sequence of events in the central grid (Section 12) or the crash sketch (Section 13). If you cannot reach an agreement on the fault, call the local authorities in Espejo to mediate and document the incident officially, and note down all conflicting points clearly on your own version of the form before submitting it independently.
