What do you do when you're in a traffic accident in China?
I've seen way too many road accidents here in China so naturally I don't want to rule out finding myself in one at some stage. What's the best way of dealing with it? Who do you call? Do you need a lawyer and translator?9 years agoin Health & Safety-GuangzhouAnswers(7) Comments(0) -

Points:15Take photos or video tape immediately. Also, call the police. Dont be surprised if they hit you that they will still blame you for the accident. Also, pray that they will take responsibility and not give you a hard time.9 years ago -

Points:12I have video cameras installed in both of my cars. I have had 1 accident in 5 years. Car hit me and caused minor damage. The other driver claimed it was my fault. I didn't argue with the man and just waited for the police to arrive. When they did I showed them the video and the man's face got really red. He paid to repair my damage.9 years ago -

Points:30if appearances can be made to look against you, you're screwed. naturally you are at a disadvantage, and it's easy for other parties to point fingers against you. i'd say the safest would be to get translation assistance on the double. i'd personally call my wife and tell her to come quickly, then signal that you're waiting for police to come. something like: "wo de lao po lai le. wo men deng jing cha." i wouldn't handover my phone to angry people in a traffic incident, even if the need for quick translation is dire.
if the opposing party demands hospital visit and/or compensation, it's better to have a chinese person tailor an appropriate response. remember: if it's a scammer's trick to swindle money out of you, the opposing party will raise high hell rather than get police involved. however, if you have a reason not to want police involvement as well (visa?), maybe you're better off discussing swift compensation.9 years ago -
