Document background
The Affidavit of Self Accident (eidesstattliche Versicherung über einen Selbstunfall) is a critical document required in German jurisdictions when an individual needs to provide an official account of an accident involving themselves without other parties. This document is typically used for insurance claims, legal documentation, or administrative procedures where formal documentation of the incident is necessary. The affidavit must be executed in accordance with German legal requirements, particularly those outlined in the German Civil Code (BGB) and relevant insurance regulations. It serves as a sworn statement containing detailed information about the accident, including time, place, circumstances, damage assessment, and any resulting injuries. The document requires notarization to be legally valid and may have significant legal consequences if any information provided is found to be false.
