If you didn't file a police report after a minor auto accident when the other driver and you agreed at the site to settle what info do you need to file a report?
If you're talking about a police report, you'll need to provide the officer with your name and insurance information, as well as the date, time and location of the accident. Be sure to also include any information you have on the other driver (name, insurance company and policy number, vehicle make/model and plate #). There's no guarantee that the police will even take the report if it wasn't reported right away, but you can try. Also, in most states, if the accident occured on private property (including most parking lots), they won't even send an officer to take a report. Hope this helps

It is illegal to leave the scene of an accident without providing full and accurate contact information. If the police are called, you need to wait for them to allow you to leave.

A car hits the rear of your car and runs but the owner of the vehicle calls the police and says a friend was driving his car and got hit and the person ran the owner says his insurance will not pay?
Hopefully a police report was filed at the scene of the accident where you were allegedly hit. (?) Ask to see the owners police report of the accident where they claim you hit them. Always have a police report when any accident occurs - even if the car got a tiny itty bitty ding. An accident is an accident, and to protect your rights, you need to call the police and have that police report filed. If none of that exists, then it becomes your word against another persons and can only be solved in a courtroom. In normal situations, the vehicles owner is held liable for the actions of anyone who drives their car.
