Abstract
The disclosure relates to determining an identifying characteristic of an accident participant in the event of an accident involving the accident participant and a motor vehicle. A time of the accident is determined using a contact sensor of the motor vehicle, where the contact sensor is configured to detect external contact with the motor vehicle. An environment of the motor vehicle is recorded after the determined time of the accident as accident data, where the environment is recorded based on recordings from a visual recording apparatus. The accident participant is determined based on the recorded accident data, and an identifying characteristic of the accident participant is determined based on the detected accident participant and the recorded accident data.
