In the event of a\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0road\u00a0<\/a><\/span>accident<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, what happens if the person absconds, is uninsured or insolvent?\u00a0And how can I assert my\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>rights\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0with the insurance?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The simplest way is to request the intervention of the police and the gendarmerie, the only ones empowered to write authentic reports before the competent courts.<\/span> You have the option of joining the FGAO (Compulsory Damage Insurance Guarantee Fund).\u00a0The latter makes it possible to compensate the victims of accidents when the author is unknown, insolvent or uninsured.\u00a0You must provide, preferably by requesting a specialized lawyer, proof that no other insurance can intervene to compensate you.\u00a0Moreover, the criteria for compensation by the Guarantee Fund are very restrictive.\u00a0Finally, the time to seize it varies from one to three years depending on whether the author is known or unknown.<\/span><\/p>\nHow can I claim my rights?<\/span><\/h2>\n
You will then have to, in connection with the work of the police, collect all the evidence (testimonials, photos) likely to feed your file and provide information on the circumstances of the accident.<\/span>
Then, turn to a specialized lawyer who will assist you in your steps.\u00a0The latter will put you in touch with a medical advisor to assess the damage suffered as accurately as possible.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat if the author is unknown?<\/span><\/h2>\n
