Crash · 01

Just got hit. Get people out of the lane. Don't sign yet.

Deal with the people and where the cars are sitting. The fault split is not decided in the notes app on their phone.

The statute. The link goes to the national law database.

01

What this is

Name it first

People are still there. Sort the people and the position. This is not a contest to confess. If someone is hurt, call 110 and 119 first. If a car is still blocking the lane, photograph where it sits, then move it out of the way. Civil Code §191-2 is about a driver's responsibility. It is not an instruction to admit all the fault at the curb. Your own share of the fault is a different article. The percentage comes later.

What you can do now

03

Who you might call

Only if it fits

Also worth saying

  • A scrape and nobody hurt: police don't handle that the same way in every city. Get the photos first. The talking can wait.
  • 'I'll front the medical bills' can be a kindness. Write down whether it is a loan, payment of the damage, or something to deduct later. Don't mash those into one sentence.
  • I'm not opening by telling you whose fault is bigger.

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
