In response to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's creation of a "Victim's Note" that summarizes support systems for traffic accident victims and bereaved families, people who lost family members in accidents met with Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Saito. I asked the victim to actively inform the existence of the notebook.
With more than 300,000 traffic accidents occurring every year, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism created a "traffic accident victim notebook" in December last year to support accident victims and bereaved families.
In addition to summarizing available systems and consultation counters, etc., it is possible to record points such as the situation of an accident in preparation for an explanation to the police or a trial. You can also download it from our website.
On the 24th, the bereaved families of the victims who cooperated in the creation met with Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Saito, expressed their gratitude, and asked for active dissemination so that more victims and bereaved families could receive the notebook.
Minister Saito responded, "We will consider dissemination in various ways."
Juri Ozawa, representative director of the Kanto Traffic Crime Victims Association, which I met with, said, "For example, if insurance companies start distributing information, I think more people will receive appropriate information quickly. I want to."
Takuya Matsunaga, a deputy representative director who lost his wife and daughter in a runaway accident in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, said, "When I became a bereaved family member, I didn't know what to do. Especially in traffic accidents. I think it will be helpful for victims and bereaved families because it is organized and organized."
