Once you file a police report of an offense YOU have nothing further to do in the process. Citizens and members of the public do not "press charges." Only the prosecutors office (or DA) can "press charges."

∙ 14y agoThere generally is no statutory time limit on reporting an offense, however, time is of the essence. The longer it goes un-reported the more difficult it becomes to recover evidence and/or begin an investigation - and if too much time passes, it may even raise doubt as to whether a crime was actually committed or not.

In parking lot accident with no police report filed but agreement made to be paid by other driver who will not pay for damages now?
A few things. 1st did you get his plate and info? Is the damage over the report requirement? ($2500.00 per vehical where I live) Call the police and report the crash, tell them you didn't think the damage was over the report limit. Also tell them you can't get in touch with the other party to warn him. 2nd If you are under the report limit Sue him in small claims court, tell the truth, make sure the Judge knows that the other guy has been avoiding you and won't pay after agreeing to. If you are unable to notify him because of this make sure you can tell the judge how you tried. Finally If you are over the report and Police refuse to intervene, get your insurance company involved anyway.

The answer depends on where the accident took place. If it occurred on a freeway, it's probably FHP jurisdiction. Inside the city limits, call that city's police; outside the city limits, the county sheriff. If you call any one of these and tell them where the incident occurred, they can probably tell you which agency will handle the report.
