If you have recently been involved in a minor traffic collision in Catalonia, knowing how to properly document the incident is crucial for your insurance claim. The "Declaración Amistosa de Accidente"—commonly known as the parte amistoso or European Accident Statement—is a standardized, internationally recognized document used across Europe to streamline the process of reporting a car crash without police intervention, provided there are no injuries.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Sant Feliu de Guixols

Once both drivers have filled out and signed the accident statement, you do not need to submit it to the local town hall or a government office. Instead, you must follow these steps within a strict legal timeframe:

• Timeframe: You are legally required to notify your insurance company within a maximum of 7 days from the date of the accident (according to Article 16 of the Spanish Insurance Contract Law).
• Submission Method: Send a copy of the completed statement to your insurance agent, broker, or via your insurance company's mobile app or online customer portal.
• Local Assistance: If the other driver refuses to cooperate or sign, you should immediately contact the Policia Local de Sant Feliu de Guixols or the Mossos d'Esquadra to draft an official police report (atestado), which will support your claim.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your claim is processed smoothly by insurance adjusters in Spain, make sure you gather the following supplemental items alongside your completed statement:

• Clear, wide-angle photographs of the accident scene, showing the position of the vehicles, skid marks, traffic lights, and street signs in Sant Feliu de Guixols.
• Close-up photos of the damage sustained by both vehicles, clearly showing the license plates.
• Contact details and ID numbers of any independent witnesses who saw how the collision occurred.
• If the police intervened, request the reference number of the police report (atestado policial) issued in Sant Feliu de Guixols.

Expert tip: Never admit fault at the scene of the accident by signing anything other than a factual description of the events on the statement form. Let the insurance companies determine liability based on the graphical sketch and the circumstances marked. If there is any disagreement with the other driver, always opt to call the local authorities to mediate.
