insurance fraud.
Yes,, You may be subject to arrest if you are operating an uninsured vehicle while involved in a traffic accident. This is often at the discretion of the responding officer.
If a police officer is involved in an accident while working and is at fault, the accident should be reported by another officer. There are no differences in the accident reports made with an officer involved in an accident. Any questions regarding a lawsuit against the officer should be asked directly to a lawyer.
Call police. Check if anyone is injured. Call your insurance person. Get names or Lic numbers of any possible witnesses. Get a copy of accident report from the responding officer.
A police officer has that discretionary power .
The fact that they were a police officer has little to do with the accident unless they had their lights on and were responding to a call. Otherwise, fault will pay for damages. That's all.
Ask the driver or owner of the vehicle. They are required to give you (and the police) that information at the time of the accident.AnswerOn an accident report, the police officer lists the insurance information. Contact the police department who responded to the scene to determine how to obtain a copy of the report.
If two cars crash and neither driver has insurance, the police officer arriving on the scene will of course both issue you tickets for no insurance, and your license can be suspended. The officer will also determine who was at fault, generally the faulty party is responsible for damages. Otherwise you are both on your own for being negligent for not having insurance at the time of the accident.
As soon as practicably possible.
An auto accident claim typically involves a claimant, insurance company, attorney, doctor(s), police officer(s), and witness(s).
When the insurance company finds out about it, possibly. I imagine that it depends on your insurance company, but I'd say yes.
No. That happens all the time. People often make a police report just in case they decide to make a claim. Later, they never contact their insurance company due to it not being worth the hassle. Four years ago, I was involved in a minor accident in which the other person left. I made a police report but since the damage was so little, the officer told me I'd be better off not making a claim. I never made a claim or notified my insurance. I have since bought 2 new cars that have been quoted for insurance by multiple companies and insured by the same company I had at the time of the accident. Everything has been fine; haven't heard about it since then.
No, the accident occurred between the two parties, a police report is not necessary. Your insurance company can take the information regarding the accident. A police officer may write a citation based on the story that is told, but he cannot testify that he witnessed the accident so his involvement is generally useless.
