1. Can the traffic accident determination letter be effective if one party does not sign it?

If one party does not sign the traffic accident liability determination letter, then the liability letter will be invalid. It must be signed by both parties to be valid. However, As long as the compensation is advanced within the non-liable compensation limit of the compulsory traffic insurance, the traffic police will make an accident determination within 20 working days after the accident. Or you can file a judicial lawsuit against the person primarily responsible for the accident and require him to compensate for the corresponding losses.

2. What situations of traffic accidents are subject to simplified procedures?

According to Article 14 of the "Regulations on Road Traffic Handling Procedures" and the provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", simplified procedures are applicable Traffic accidents include:

1. There are no personal casualties, or there is only minor property damage, and both parties dispute the facts and causes and fail to evacuate the scene immediately, or the parties have a dispute over compensation after evacuating the scene on their own.

2. The injured person believes that his injury is minor, and the parties have no dispute over the facts and causes, but there is a dispute over compensation. Paragraph 3 of Article 14 of the "Regulations on Procedures for Handling Traffic Accidents" stipulates that if summary procedures apply, a traffic policeman may handle the matter. Traffic police officers with more than one year of road traffic management experience and who have passed the training and examination of the traffic management department of the districted municipal public security organ can handle traffic accidents subject to simplified procedures. The document produced under the simplified procedure is an accident determination document, which is not a traffic accident determination document under general procedures and is produced on the spot. In the accident determination letter, the traffic police shall record the time, place, weather, name of the parties involved, motor vehicle driving license number, contact information, motor vehicle plate number, insurance certificate number, traffic accident form, collision location, etc. in the accident determination letter. In the simplified procedure, if all parties agree to request mediation, the traffic police shall conduct mediation on the spot and record the mediation results in an accident determination form, which shall be signed by the parties and delivered to the parties.

3. What are the steps to deal with traffic accidents

1. Stop the car immediately. After parking, tighten the handbrake as required, cut off the power supply, and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If a traffic accident occurs at night, you must turn on the width lights and tail lights, and set up hazard warning signs as required.

2. Report the case promptly. The parties involved should promptly report the time and place of the accident, the vehicle involved, and the number of casualties by calling (traffic accident alarm number: 122) or entrusting passing vehicles or pedestrians to report the accident to the nearby public security agency or police on duty. At the same time, you can seek help from nearby medical units and emergency centers (medical emergency hotline: 120). If a fire breaks out at the accident site, the fire department (fire emergency hotline: 119) should also be informed of the cause of the ignition, the size of the fire and the situation of the trapped persons.

3. Protect the scene. Protect the original state of the site, including the vehicles, people, livestock, and traces left in it, and ensure that scattered objects are not moved randomly. When rescuing the injured, their original location should be marked, and the scene must not be deliberately damaged or falsified. Before the traffic control personnel arrive, the parties can use ropes and other materials to set up a cordon to protect the scene.
