DAAA — Declaração Amigável de Acidente Automóvel (agreed accident report)
A two-part form that drivers fill in and sign at the scene after a minor accident, when there is no dispute over who was at fault. Each keeps a copy and sends it to their insurer. The law on compulsory motor insurance uses exactly this name: declaração amigável de acidente automóvel.
Where you come across it. At the scene of an accident with no injuries, before the cars have left.
It is worth filling in for the deadlines alone: under Article 36(6) of Decreto-Lei n.º 291/2007, when a declaração amigável has been completed, the insurer's deadlines are halved, giving it 15 working days instead of 30 to say whether it accepts liability.
