traffic accident caused by the other party
Used when you are involved in a traffic accident but the fault lies entirely with the other driver. Often contrasted with やり事故 (an accident you caused).
Yesterday I was in a traffic accident at an intersection that was the other driver's fault.
Even if the accident is the other party's fault, you still need to contact your insurance company.
Common spelling using kana for もらい and kanji for 事故.
Kanji spelling for もらい, but less common in modern writing.
Compound of もらい (receiving, from もらう) and 事故 (accident), literally 'received accident', implying the accident was received from another party.
