It depends on what your state law says. All states have different laws regarding when you need to report an accident.
Yes, you will need to report your accident to the police. You should report all accidents to the police, so that you can file a claim with your insurance.
All crashes that result in vehicle damage must be reported to the police.
Depending on the jurisdiction police administrators will keep a record of police reports on any and all accidents they report. The hard copies of these reports may be archived in an electronic format. But, if you know the approximate date of your accident and the location you should be able to get a copy of the police report.
Of course you report accidents to the police; that's what they're for.Another View: The answer to this will depend on the regulations of your individual state. Some do not take reports of minor, property-damage-only accidents - others only require reports of propertly damage accidents which exceed a certain dollar amount - etc. However, the one thing that is universal among all states, is the necessity to report an accident resulting in any claim of physical injury.

When they are submitted to the state by a municipality or insurance company they are sent to you driver's history. If you have an accident that is not reported to police, and is handled out of pocket, it will not reach your insurance company or your driving record. Most insure companies require you to report all accidents.
You don't need a lawyer at all, you need to report it to the police so that the individual can be charged with the crime.
"Yes, for a number of reasons. If you are in an accident, someone witnesses it, and you leave the scene, it can be reported. If there is damage to your vehicle - or someone elses - most insurance companies require that the police are notified and a report is filed."
of course...
Yes ... any and all accidents regardless of how minor you may think they are. Accidents at sea (or in a lake) are a very serious matter.
IMMEDIATELY, your policy will say, ''you must promptly report all accidents''
I am not sure if it is against the law or not, but all you should need is a police report for your insurance. As long as you have a police report for the acident you are good, If he does not have insurance that is a huge crime and they will get him.
