You should probably call the police. 911 will do.
It depends on the accident. Most states do not required it if no one was injured.
In New Jersey, a Boating Certificate is required by the State Police.
Depends - some may be trained to however it is not required when entering the police force. Usually when there is an accident, medics respond as well as police officers.
It depends, whether it is a major accident or if it's just minor. Also, it depends on if there's someone nearby. Generally, if there's a major accident to be seen and no one is around, then it's always safe the call the police immediately and to provide assistance if needed.If you spot a minor accident, yet you're not involved in it, then there's not need to inform the police or any other emergency services.If you have been involved in a minor accident, even if no one has been injured, you are required to inform the police via emergency number. In this case, it is because a police report is required in order to help the insurance to determine where the problem started and/or whose fault it was.
A bystander could be a witness to an accident, shooting, fatal shooting, murder. Bystanders are asked what they heard and saw and the police take notes from as many around the incident as possible. Some bystanders may be called in by the police for questioning and verify what they saw (possible identification of the perpetrator) and some bystanders my not be asked in for questioning simply because they didn't see or hear anything that would help the case.
The very first thing you do is report it to the police. Whether the car is "totaled" or not (a decision typically made by insurance adjusters), a police report is required for any automobile accident.
When people have accidents in their automobile and someone is injured it is required to report it to the police and to their insurance company. This is because the injured person may need a doctors care and the person responsible for the accident is the one that will be required to pay through their insurance company.
Yes, of course. If you are liable for the damages you are required by law to cover the losses. Having a police report or not having a police report has no bearing on your liability and resulting financial responsibilities. Although most minor accidents do not merit a police report, the insurance companies recommend an accident report be filed whenever possible to document the occurrence and protect the drivers and the company from individuals who may later try to shirk their financial responsibilities. If you have insurance then your insurance company will cover the loss for you up to your policy limits. If you are uninsured then you are required to pay the damages yourself.
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.
You can get an accident report at the police station.
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.
