It really just depends on the type of accident and severity of damage or when injury has occurred. Most accidents do not require a police report.
AnswerIt is usually required. If it is a small ding type, less than $100 damage, there is usually no need. But insurance companies require a police report. And if you want to insure that there is no problem with a later lawsuit, it is a good idea to get the accident documented.All crashes that result in vehicle damage must be reported to the police.

Report it to your local police !
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.
You have 10 days to file a police report
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.
