If injured game, whether alive or already dead, lies on the road, the scene of the accident must be secured as far as possible by a warning triangle and/or hazard warning lights in order to protect the following traffic and to avoid further accidents.

Dead game should only be pulled off the road if this is possible without endangering oneself (use protective gloves!). Injured game should not be touched or otherwise disturbed (stress for the animal, self-endangerment). The killing of an injured animal may only be carried out by an authorised and competent person (e.g. the person authorised to hunt). Veterinary treatment is usually ruled out (except for an accident with a wolf – here a veterinarian must be consulted by the persons recording the accident).

Please stay as far away from the injured animal as possible, because with increasing proximity to the injured animal, its stress situation increases.

Call the control centre of the professional fire brigade or any police station

Control centre of the professional fire brigade or police

The control centre of the professional fire brigade has cards showing the person authorised to hunt to be notified.

§ 27 BbgJagdG

Note on the prevention of accidents involving wild animals - there is an increased risk of accidents:

• basically morning and evening at dusk
• in the transition area field/forest
• Also in the months of July and August during the leaf season of roe deer

!!! Wildlife can be on the move at any time of the day or night!!!

Depending on the situation of the individual case, the insurance covers the damage to the vehicle for partially or fully insured persons. The prerequisite is that the wildlife accident has been proven. For this purpose, the persons or bodies who are informed about the accident must issue appropriate certificates. Wildlife tracks on the vehicle should be photographed.
