Since we do not know the details of the case, we can only give a general assessment. A traffic accident is an event as a result of which a party involved in an accident causes injury, death, property damage, damage to the road, public facilities, escaping dangerous goods or property damage to another party involved in the accident (i.e. not themselves), or to the vehicles involved, including goods being transported or other property which apparently exceed 1.5 times the damage under the Criminal Code. From the wording of the Road Traffic Act, but also from the concept of administrative offenses in the Administrative Offenses Act, it is clear that a traffic accident (or an administrative offense based on a traffic accident) cannot be a traffic incident caused by the participant injury or only harm oneself. For this reason, the fine was apparently wrongly imposed on you. You can object to the fine imposed in this way within the period prescribed by law. We recommend consulting a good lawyer.
