When you make a compensation claim for your injuries, losses and expenses after the accident, obtaining certain details from the other parties involved in the accident may be necessary. In New South Wales Road Rules, the drivers are under a legal obligation to exchange their details after a car accident. When the drivers exchange their details with each other, making compensation claim for the damages losses and injuries caused by the accident can be easier. The drivers, after the accident, must give their details to other drivers involved in the accident and to other persons who are injured or whose vehicles or property is damaged in the accident. Any person who belongs to those three categories can ask the driver to show their driver’s license. At the back of the driver’s license any change of address can be found. It is important to get the driver’s name, address, licence number and phone number. If the vehicle is registered in the name of another person, the name, address and phone number of that person should also be obtained. The car’s registration number, make, model, and colour are other details which can be necessary. If it is possible, obtaining the car’s insurance policy details may also be important. In most cases, the driver of the other vehicle involved in the accident may exchange information, but if he refuses to do so, the accident must be reported to the Police within 24 hours. Refusing to exchange details is an offence under New South Wales law. If the Police attend the accident, they may also obtain the other driver’s details, and therefore in most cases it may be possible to get the details by contacting the relevant police station. If the registration number of the vehicle can be found, an application can be made to the Roads and Traffic Authority in order to get the contact details of the registered owner and the operator of the vehicle.
