Car accident reporting in Europe
European accident statement: record the details digitally.
A car accident can be difficult to document, especially when the people involved speak different languages. Accident Tool helps you collect the details, photos and signatures in a digital report on your phone. The free app supports 29 languages.
For iPhone and iPad, iOS/iPadOS 26.0 or later. Also available for Android.
What to record
Collect the information while you are at the scene.
A European accident statement provides a familiar structure for recording the parties, vehicles and circumstances of a road accident. Keep the information clear and complete:
- The location, date and time.
- The people, vehicles and insurance details involved.
- A description of what happened, supported by photos and a sketch.
- Relevant statements, witness details and signatures.
Your insurer may ask for a particular form or additional information. Check its reporting instructions before submitting your documents.
A guided process
Use Accident Tool to create a digital accident report.
- Open the app and start a report.
- Record the people and vehicles involved, then add photos and the circumstances.
- Invite the other party to enter their details through a QR link.
- Review the information and complete the report using the available app workflow.
The accident story shows an example involving a German-speaking driver and a French-speaking driver. Only one of them starts with the app installed.
Across languages and devices
The other party can enter details without installing the app.
A QR invitation opens an App Clip on a compatible iPhone or a browser form on other devices. This lets the other party enter their details without installing the full app.
Entering details is different from creating a complete report or receiving a report copy. The direct handover of a report copy described on this website uses an iPhone with the app or App Clip. The App Clip does not provide the full report-creation and insurer-submission workflow.
Questions about digital accident reporting
Is Accident Tool free?
The official Apple App Store and Google Play listings offer the app free of charge.
Does the other party need the app?
They can enter their details through the QR browser link or an iPhone App Clip. Creating and transferring complete reports depends on the device and workflow.
Can I use it after a car accident abroad?
The app supports 29 languages and helps you document an accident when the people involved speak different languages. Follow your insurer's instructions for reporting an accident abroad.
Does it replace every insurer's accident form?
Check your insurer's requirements. Accident Tool helps you document the event; it does not decide liability or promise that every insurer will accept the report instead of its own forms.
