Crew error resulting in damage? Mmmm, I'd be careful here. I can foresee an unpleasant landing resulting in damage but being realistic, Sod's law is more likely to occur, ie. an en-expected shredded tyre, brake failure, toilet pump motor failure (real life comes up with some beautiful scenarios, just read a few accident/incident reports).
As for what happens after a prang, it depends who your characters are working for. With my company I'll tell them what happened, if at all possible, and not worry about the consequences. They'll not expect me to speak to the media and I'll go out of my way to avoid them, unless instructed otherwise. Even then, they'll probably get a rather trite comment to the effect of "I'm glad it's all over and I'm really looking forward to going home".
As for the location of the prang, well I if end up in Greece, Spain, Italy I won't give any government official the steam off my pee unless I have heavyweight legal protection. I'll not even confirm my name. In one of these countries I'd also expect to be questioned by some flatfoot from the police or "Department of Justice" who is looking to nail somebody for the occurrence. In the UK, Netherlands, Scandinavia etc., I'll invite the investigators round for a cup of tea (or coffee if they prefer). Again, the more civilised the country, the more advocates you could take.
It is normal practice for crews to be stood down for a period (say, up to four weeks) following an accident to allow them to give witness statements and be interviewed by the investigators. With regards to the third world practices undertaken by the countries mentioned above, I'd expect that period to be in jail. But in more civilised countries, this would be in a reasonable hotel, at the company's expense until they could position you home. Then, at home you would still be available for interviews as long at the authorities and company require. But when "not required but available", I'd expect to be down the pub, doing DIY or fishing. In a good company you might also expect a call from a "buddy" to make sure that you are OK and ready to start line flying. If you were not, this might be the time for a bit of "tea & sympathy". Again, for a good company you would still expect to be paid.
Eventually, once you have made your statements and are no longer required, you would be released back on line probably following a session or two in the simulator and some line training.
