Nokārtot ceļu satiksmes negadījumu ar uzņēmuma transportlīdzekli

Kad izmantot

A company vehicle (owned or leased) was in a road accident in Latvia, however minor. Not for a parking or traffic fine with no accident — use vehicles.traffic-fine. Not for damage discovered without an accident (vandalism, hail) — that is an insurance claim, not this playbook. If the vehicle is a total loss and must be replaced or sold, continue afterwards with vehicles.sell-vehicle.

Pirms sāc

• The driver is safe and off the road; if anyone is injured, call 112 first — everything else waits.
• The vehicle's OCTA policy number and insurer are known (they are in the vehicles module).
• The driver has a phone with a camera and the accident-statement form in the glovebox.

1. S1

   Guide the driver through the scene checklistaģents

   Send the driver the checklist: warn traffic, photograph all vehicles with plates and positions from four angles, photograph the road, damage close-ups, the other driver's licence, OCTA certificate and plates. Record the time, place, weather and witnesses. Do not move vehicles before photographing unless traffic safety requires it.

   Izdarīts, kad a photo set and the other party's data are in the agent's hands.

   ⛔ Never let the driver admit fault at the scene — fault is decided by the statement, the police or the insurers.

2. S2

   Determine the path: police or accident statementaģents

   Police must be called if anyone is injured, a driver appears drunk or refuses data, a vehicle is unregistered/foreign and data cannot be established, or the parties disagree on circumstances. Otherwise both drivers fill and sign the European Accident Statement (Europrotokols), one copy each. ⚠ jāpārbauda the current property-damage limit for settling without police, at ltab.lv.

   Izdarīts, kad the path is recorded with the reason: "police — <reason>" or "Europrotokols — signed by both".

   Decide on police involvementīpašnieksvajag apstiprinājumu · īpašnieks

   Apstiprinājums · S3 · īpašnieks — izpilde apstājas, līdz nosaukts cilvēks ieraksta lēmumu

   If the police path applies, the owner (or the driver on the owner's instruction) calls 112 and waits for the patrol; an agent never files with the state without this approval.

   Izdarīts, kad the police report number exists, or the owner has recorded "no police — Europrotokols path" with the reason.

4. S4

   Notify the insureraģents

   If the company's driver may be at fault or fault is unclear, notify the company's OCTA insurer; if the other driver is at fault, the claim goes to the other driver's insurer — the agent prepares the notification either way, attaching photos, the statement and the policy number. ⚠ jāpārbauda the notification deadline in the policy conditions (days, not months — check before S4).

   Izdarīts, kad a claim number exists and is recorded.

   ⛔ Do not sign repair-shop or insurer documents the agent has not read to the owner line by line.

5. S5

   Decide the repair pathīpašnieksvajag apstiprinājumu · īpašnieks

   Apstiprinājums · S5 · īpašnieks — izpilde apstājas, līdz nosaukts cilvēks ieraksta lēmumu

   Present: insurer's assessment route, the repairer's quote, the expected payout, the company's share and whether a replacement vehicle is needed meanwhile.

   Izdarīts, kad the owner has named the repairer (or written-off decision) and the spending limit.

6. S6

   Arrange repair or write-offaģents

   Book the vehicle in, hand over the insurer's claim number, and if the vehicle is not drivable, arrange the replacement and record its cost against the claim where the policy allows.

   Izdarīts, kad the vehicle is at the repairer with a written order, or the write-off decision is recorded.

7. S7

   Record the accidentaģents

   Create the accident record in the vehicles module: date, place, driver, counterparty, fault assessment as stated by insurers/police, photos, statement, claim number, costs and payout. Link costs to the vehicle and, if the counterparty's insurer pays, track the incoming amount.

   Izdarīts, kad the record is complete and every document is attached.

8. S8

   Hand backaģents

   Send the owner a summary: what happened, fault as decided, claim number, expected payout, vehicle status and return date. If the vehicle needs a new technical inspection after repair, note it — see vehicles.technical-inspection.

   Izdarīts, kad the owner has the summary and any needed follow-up inspection is noted for vehicles.technical-inspection.

Pārbaudes — kā zinām, ka izdevās

• The photo set shows plates of all vehicles and the road positions (read the filenames, not "photos exist").
• The accident statement is signed by both drivers, or the police report number is recorded.
• The claim number from an insurer is recorded, and the notification date is within the policy deadline.
• The accident record in the vehicles module has all documents attached and the cost total matches the invoices.
• The vehicle is back on the road with a valid inspection and the damage repaired or a write-off recorded.

Kā šī procedūra uzlabojas

After every accident (or every 10 runs if rare): how many minutes from the driver's call to insurer notification, and did any step wait on missing data? Did any claim get refused for a reason this playbook could have prevented (late notice, missing photos, signed admission)? Was the Europrotokols limit verified against ltab.lv this year? A new version fixes the step that caused the wait or the refusal, and says so in its change note.
