yes. This is for your own saftey. today now that people are sue happy, if you do not call the police even if th other person says its okay and you leave the scene, the other person could call the police and say you left the scene of the accident. people can sue you personally for damages if you leave the scene and although its hard to believe people lie. the best bet is to stay where you are and call the cops and wait. tell them your side of the story no matter how small and wait. then you can claim through insurance or not. but atleast you have police report to show you were there and legal.
Yes, it is.In most cases it will raise a red flag, why did you wait 4 hours to report the accident. Were you impaired in any way?
As long as you have coverage, yes the insurance company will pay. All you have to do is call them and report the loss.

It depends on if you damaged any other property or not.
If you have collision coverage on your vehicle, then your insurance should pay out whether or not there is a police report. It may, however, conduct a more extensive investigation to rule out fraud. This is particularly true because single car collisions may preclude subrogation by which the insurer attempts to recover its payment from a responsible third party.

First thing is to make sure everyone is okay. Call the police and Fire department if necessary. Second is never admit anything, don't admit fault, don't sign a single thing besides the police report. Take pictures of the accident, get a list of all witnesses with there phone numbers. Always have an accident map with you, to draw out exactly what happened. Make sure to get the other persons info, such as name, license #, address, phone number and policy number.
ALL accidents exceeding the set dollar damage amount must be reported except for:Your Car on your property that is not registered for the road. In other words it is not leagally a car.Then if no other persons property was damaged and no one was hurt is does not have to reported.
Report the accident to your insurance company. If this was a single car accident - meaning yours- your insurance will have to pay for the repairs minus your deductible. If another party caused the accident you need to turn their insurance information over to your company and they will take it from there.
