Rear-end collision accident handling process

When dealing with traffic accidents, public security organs should convene the parties and relevant personnel to mediate damages after ascertaining the cause of the traffic accident, determining responsibility for the traffic accident, and determining the losses caused by the traffic accident. The mediation period for damage compensation is thirty days, and the public security organ may extend it for fifteen days if it deems it necessary. For injuries caused by traffic accidents, mediation begins from the date when treatment is completed or disability is determined; for deaths caused by traffic accidents, mediation begins from the end of the prescribed time for funeral matters; for traffic accidents that only cause property losses, mediation begins from Begins from the date the loss is determined. If an agreement is reached through mediation, the public security agency shall prepare a mediation letter, which shall be signed by the parties, relevant personnel, and the mediator, and shall become effective upon affixing the seal of the public security agency. The public security organ shall send the mediation letter to the parties and relevant personnel respectively. If no agreement is reached after the expiration of the mediation period, the public security agency shall prepare a mediation termination letter, signed by the mediator, stamped with the seal of the public security agency, and delivered to the parties and relevant personnel respectively. If no agreement is reached after mediation or if either party fails to perform after the mediation agreement becomes effective, the public security organs will no longer mediate and the parties may file a civil lawsuit with the People's Court.
