Immediately. It would be on file with the police station that has jurisdiction over the location where the accident occurred. If you were, in fact, the subject of a hit and run, do the right thing; you would want to be treated that way. Besides, if the police do track you down, the penalty is far greater than if you report the accident yourself, even at this stage.

It depends on the state in which you live. Most states require that you report the incident to the police and then report it to your insurance company within 30 days.

You can file a hit in run whenever you would like. Your chances of conviction will go down, the longer you wait to file it.
