...authorities in the case of road accidents?
Law enforcement agencies do not make decisions in road accident cases.
Police officers perform the following actions:
draw up a protocol on an administrative offense in the field of ensuring road traffic safety;
draw up a diagram of the accident site, which is signed by the participants in the accident and the police officer himself;
select the explanations of the participants of the adventure and witnesses (if they are available);
in cases where, as a result of a traffic accident, its participants are injured, an investigative-operational group is called to conduct investigative actions at the scene of the traffic accident in accordance with the requirements of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine;
perform other necessary actions.
The decision on the road accident case itself is taken by the court in the form of a resolution or verdict (in the case of criminal proceedings).
It is possible to challenge a court decision or verdict by filing an appropriate appeal.
