Use this as a quick map. The detailed rules, deadlines and available remedies still depend on the selected jurisdiction and current official sources.
Reports, photos, medical records, work records and witness details.
Decision, offer, refusal, treatment approval or claim response.
Internal review, regulator, compensation scheme or court varies by jurisdiction.
What to have ready
- FIR/eDAR/accident records
- RC, licence and insurance papers
- Medical and expense records
- Scene evidence, witnesses and repair documents
Likely next step
Preserve police/eDAR, insurance, medical and scene evidence separately, then identify the competent MACT and insurer-notification path.
Urgent if:- Someone is seriously injured or emergency care is needed
- Police, insurer or tribunal paperwork has an immediate deadline
- A vehicle/evidence may be lost before it is documented
