Police-first crash reporting to launch in Nepal to protect insurance claims

After a road accident, the first priority is to check for injuries and get help if needed. The next step is to inform police at once through 100 or 103 so the incident is recorded while details are still fresh.

Keeping photos and videos of the crash scene, vehicle damage, and road conditions can also support both police inquiry and insurance survey.

If officers cannot reach the spot immediately, the driver should follow instructions and report the incident at the nearest police unit or traffic office.

It is also important to notify the insurance company right away, and avoid starting repairs before the police process and surveyor inspection are completed. Early reporting helps protect the claim, preserve evidence, and reduce legal complications.
