If you have been involved in a minor traffic collision in Orihuela Costa, you are likely required to complete a Declaración Amistosa de Accidente, commonly known as a "Parte Amistoso." This is the standard document used by all insurance companies in Spain to determine liability. Having a clear, pre-filled guide ensures you capture the critical information needed to process your claim efficiently without language barriers.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Orihuela - Costa (Nucleo)

The "Parte Amistoso" is not submitted to a government office, but directly to your insurance company. Follow these steps to ensure your claim is handled correctly in the Orihuela Costa area:

• Immediate Action: Move your vehicle to a safe location if possible. Use your hazard lights and wear a high-visibility vest before exiting the vehicle.
• Complete the Form: Use the template below to ensure you have all the fields ready. If you have a physical copy from your insurer, use it. If not, print this version or write the details down clearly.
• Signatures: Both drivers must sign the document. Once signed, the document is considered final—do not change the details afterward.
• Submission: Take a photo of the completed form immediately. Send the document to your insurance agent or the claims department of your insurance company via their official app, email, or physical office. In Orihuela Costa, many major insurers have branches in the Zenia Boulevard area or nearby Torrevieja.
• Deadline: You are legally required to notify your insurance company of an accident within 7 days.

• Contact details and names of any independent witnesses present at the scene.
• A copy of your driver's license and the other party's license.
• If the police (Guardia Civil or Policia Local de Orihuela) were called, provide the report number (atestado) if available.

Expert Tip: Never admit liability at the scene of the accident, even if you think you are at fault. Simply exchange information and let the insurance adjusters analyze the "Parte Amistoso" and the provided evidence. If the other party refuses to sign or the accident is serious (involving injuries), call 112 immediately to request the presence of the authorities to create an official police report.
